Abstract
A reinforced magnesium composite, and a method of producing thereof, wherein the reinforced magnesium composite comprises elemental magnesium particles, elemental nickel particles, and one or more ceramic particles with elemental nickel particles being dispersed within elemental magnesium particles without having intermetallic compounds therebetween. Various embodiments of the method of producing the reinforced magnesium composite are also provided.
Claims13
A method of producing a reinforced magnesium composite, comprising:
- mixing a powder blend comprising elemental magnesium particles, elemental nickel particles, and titanium oxide particles to form a mixed powder blend, wherein the titanium oxide particles and the elemental nickel particles are dispersed within the elemental magnesium particles;
- cold-pressing the mixed powder blend under a uniaxial compressive load at a temperature of no more than 30° C. to form a magnesium composite billet;
- and
- sintering the magnesium composite billet at a temperature of at least 500° C. in an inert environment to form the reinforced magnesium composite,
- wherein the elemental magnesium particles and elemental nickel particles are physically bonded without having intermetallic bonds therebetween.
