Abstract
SiC particles with 8wt.% magnesium alloy powders as additives were mixed followed by annealing at 280 and 400 ℃ for 1 and
4 h. The particle size, phase condition, morphology and compositions distribution were analyzed using laser diffraction analyzer,
X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that particles mixed homogeneously before annealing.
Annealing processes have a positive effect on the decrease of magnesium alloy particle size. It has almost no effect on magnesium
alloy particle size with increasing the annealing duration at 280 ℃. However, the diameter of magnesium particle decreased
obviously with increasing the annealing duration at 400 ℃. Magnesium alloy particles annealed at 400 ℃ is smaller than that of the
280 ℃ ones under the same annealing duration. Si component was observed in powder annealed at both temperatures. Grain size
of SiC was reduced and microstrain was improved with increase of annealing temperature and duration.
