Abstract
Magnesium chips were coated with silicon powder using a binder, and thixomolding was attempted using the silicon-coated chips as the raw material. The microstructures of the products exhibited that all the added silicon was precipitated as Mg2Si particles. No voids were observed at the interfaces between the Mg2Si particles and the matrix. The hardness and Young's modulus of the products increased with the amount of silicon added. The Young's modulus followed the rule of mixtures.
