Abstract: Microwave and spark plasma sintering processes were used to produce magnesium-B 4 C metal matrix composites by powder metallurgy route. Magnesium powder with 5 wt% B 4 C in ethanol media was blended in a high-energy ball mill for 10 min. The sintering process was performed at 500° and 670 °C using spark plasma sintering and microwave furnace, respectively. XRD investigations revealed the crystallization of MgB 2 and Mg 2 C 3 compounds during both sintering processes. The mechanical examinations showed higher bending strength (191 ± 15 MPa) and microhardness (92 ± 7 Vickers) of SPS samples rather than microwave samples. FESEM images demonstrated uniform distribution of B 4 C reinforcements at grain boundaries of metallic matrix. The MAP analysis of SPS samples approved the formation of new compounds as a result of the reaction between magnesium and B 4 C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
