Abstract

In this study, magnesium (AZ91D) hybrid composites reinforced with graphite and tungsten carbide were fabricated by compact pressing powder metallurgy technique. Optical microstructure and XRD studies were carried to analyse the distribution of particles and to identify the phases. The mechanical and wear characteristics of the fabricated magnesium (AZ91D) composite samples were studied. The measured density and calculated density of the composites are close to each other indicating minimum porosity. The presence of graphite and tungsten carbide enhances hardness of the composites. Strength of magnesium (AZ91D) composites is higher than the base alloy at room temperature. Addition of tungsten carbide in magnesium composites decreases the wear. Magnesium hybrid composites used in the study exhibit high strength, high hardness and wear resistance.
