Abstract

A new Mg-Li matrix composite with 5 wt.% Al2Y particulates was developed by stir-casting technique, its microstructures and properties were investigated systematically. The results show that, the Al2Y intermetallics particles distribute in Mg-Li matrix homogeneously, and a good Al2Yp/Mg-Li interface is developed wherein there are no reaction products or obvious elements diffusing. The composite has a higher tensile strength compared with matrix alloy, whose good ductility is kept.
