Effect of synthetic graphite and activated charcoal addition on the mechanical, microstructure and wear properties of AZ 81 Mg alloys

In the present study, the grain refinement effects of carbon on AZ 81 (Mg–8%Al) alloys were investigated through the addition of synthetic graphite and activated charcoal inoculants. The mechanical and dry sliding wear properties of AZ 81 (Mg–8%Al) alloys with and without grain refiners were studied...
