Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles have garnered significant research interest as a new generation of lightweight, high-strength materials. This review explores fabrication techniques for Mg/SiC nanocomposites and critically examines the impact of SiC nanoparticles on the mechanical strength, wear behavior, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance of magnesium based composites, elucidating the underlying theoretical and experimental mechanisms. Also, technical challenges including particle uniformity, strong bonding at the interface, and environmental considerations are discussed. Finally, the major challenges and issues facing the development of Mg/SiC nanocomposites are assessed and a comprehensive roadmap for the future is outlined.
