A pin-on-disc apparatus was used to evaluate the wear behavior where loads of 20, 40, 60 and 80 N, and a sliding velocity of 250 r/min were exerted. The results show that B4C/Mg composites possess superior wear resistance than pure Mg under various applied loads, and the content of Ti, as infiltration inducer, has an influence on the wear resistance of B4C/Mg composites. The dominant wear mechanism for pure Mg is abrasion, while that for B4C/Mg composites under low loads is adhesion and delamination. Under high loads, the wear mechanism of B4C/Mg composites can be attributed to thermal softening and melting or plastic deformation.展开更多

The average grain size and roundness decrease, and the distribution of SiC becomes more homogeneous with the decrease in stirring temperature and the increase in the stirring speed. When the stirring time is increased, the distribution of SiC particles tends to be homogeneous, and the average grain diameter and roundness of α- Mg grain decrease. Under the following process parameters： the stirring temperature at 640 ℃, the stirring speed at 1100 rpm, the stirring time at 30 min and the roll speed at 0.2 m/s, Mg-3Sn-1Mn-3SiC （wt%） strip with a cross-sectional size of 4 mm × 160 mm was prepared. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation of Mg-3Sn-1Mn-3SiC （wt%） composite strip reached 226 ± 6 MPa and （7.4 ± 0.2）%, which are obviously improved in comparison with Mg-3Sn-1Mn （wt%）.展开更多
