Abstract

In the current investigation, squeeze casting was used to create titanium diboride-reinforced magnesium composites in a varying weight proportion (2 wt%,4 wt% and 6 wt%). SEM was used for the morphological analysis, and ASTM standards were followed in creating the performance metrics. The distribution of the ceramic reinforcing particles inside the magnesium matrix was observed to be uniform. Due to a powerful interfacial response between the intermixtures, the hardness (24.52%), tensile strength (18.52%), and wear resistance (28.52%) of synthetic magnesium composites dramatically enhanced. The corrosion resistance of magnesium composites was assessed using a salt spray test, and it was found that by reducing the size of the -phase Mg17Al12, the corrosion resistance greatly increased (36.52%) when compared to that of the cast alloy.
