Abstract
The objective of this book chapter was to examine the changes in microstructure and mechanical properties of a modified AZ-61 composite with minor additions of scandium (0.2wt. %), calcium (0.5wt. %), and manganese (0.5wt. %) prepared using the stir casting method. The solidified ingots undergo thermal treatments, including ice water quenching, and age hardening for 2 hours at temperatures of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, and 400 °C. The results found that average grain size of an AZ61-Graphene (1wt.%) composite was measured to be 7.92 μm after aging at 100°C, 5.31 μm at 200°C, and 6.86 μm at 400°C. The addition of 1wt. % graphene to the AZ61 composite results in a favourable balance between strength and ductility. The inclusion of graphene in the modified AZ 61 composite results in a significant change in grain size and fine structure, leading to increased strength.
