The microstructure of the composites was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The compressive strength was investigated and compared with that of the matrix alloy AZ91D. The results show that the extrusion forming could cause fracture of the whisker, but reduce the holes in the composite during impregnation and improve the interfacial bonding between the whisker and the matrix alloy. Compared with that of the matrix as-cast alloy AZ91D, the compressive strength of Al18B4O33w/Mg by the pressure infiltration technique was increased by 22%, while that of Al18B4O33w/Mg by the extrusion-vacuum infiltration technique was increased by 120 %.展开更多
