Abstract

Magnesium alloys have demonstrated superior specific strength and good machinability which have become essential requirement for automobile and aerospace industries. Other important properties include good surface finish, light weight and good corrosion resistance. In this project, an attempt has been made to compare the microstructures and properties of two magnesium alloy AZ91 and AE42. Microstructures were taken using optical microscopy after polishing them with belt grinding, paper polishing, cloth polishing, diamond polishing and etching. The XRD analysis plots and Vickers hardness of both these alloys were also compared
