Effect of Pulse Current Pressure on Sintering of Mg-Al-Zn Elemental Powder Mixtures

The method of preparing magnesium-sintered alloy using pulsed current pressure and element powders was studied. Aluminum and zinc are general alloying elements for magnesium die casting. The Mg-Al-Zn powder mixtures were prepared by mixing such element powders, and consolidated by pulsed current pressure. The transverse rupture strength of the sintered compacts was influenced by compacting pressure during the increase of temperature. The...
