Microstructural characterisation and corrosion behaviour of microwave-sintered magnesium alloy AZ61/fly ash microspheres syntactic foams

Magnesium alloy AZ61/fly ash microspheres (FAMs) syntactic composite foams were synthesised via powder metallurgy and microwave (MW) sintering techniques. MW sintering was rapidly completed in 20 min and minimized the formation of brittle interfacial products. Effect of FAMs on the density, microstr...
