Tribological characterisation of magnesium matrix nanocomposites: A review

Magnesium matrix nanocomposites (Mg-MNCs) are high grade materials widely used in aerospace, electronics, biomedical and automotive sectors for strength to weight ratio, excellent sustainability superior mechanical tribological characteristics. Basic properties of Mg-MNCs rely on type amount reinforcement fabrication process. Current study reviews existing literatures explore contribution different parameters Mg-MNCs. Effects particle size reinforcements like SiC, WC, Al 2 O 3 , TiB CNT, graphene nano platelets (GNP), graphite behaviour discussed. Incorporation nanoparticles generally enhances properties. Role processes stir casting (SC), ultrasonic treatment (UST), disintegrated melt deposition (DMD), friction processing (FSP) wear is also reviewed. Contributions process (sliding speed, load sliding distance) wear, mechanism examined.
