Abstract
Magnesium, a light weight alloy used in multiple engineering industrial applications because of its good Physical, Chemical and Thermal characteristics. Magnesium composites play an important role in partial or entire replacement of numerous alloys.This current work deals with Nano silicon carbide of about 100nm was incorporated with AZ91magnesium alloy through liquid state composite processing. Two samples are made using 0% Nano SiC and 3% Nano SiC and are characterized through tensile test in Universal Testing Machine, Micro hardness test in Vickers hardness tester and Microstructure in Optical Microscopy. From the study it was clear that there is a peak increase in hardness of about 36% when compared to as casted AZ91.
