Abstract Scope |
Mg2Si can be used to improve creep resistance of Mg alloys, as an additive for aluminium alloys, as a negative electrode material in Li-ion batteries or in thermoelectric applications. In the Mg-Si system Mg2Si forms in an equilibrium exothermic reaction. However, during this reaction the system is heating up , may overheat within a short time and may run out of control. We will report on a powder metallurgy based processing route where mechanical alloying, pressing and heat treatments are used to produce Mg2Si in a Mg matrix with different Si contents in a controlled manner. XRD, light and electron microscopy including EDX are used to identify phases that form during processing. |
