The fracture behavior of SiCp/AZ91 magnesium matrix composite fabricated by stir casting is investigated using the in situ SEM technique. Experimental results show that (1) the dominant microcrack nucleation mode is interface decohesion in particle-dense regions because of the weak interface formed during the solidification process of the composite and large stress concentrations caused by particle segregation, (2) microcracks coalesce by the failure of matrix ligaments between microcracks while additional microcracks are initiated in the particle-dense region ahead of the coalesced microcracks, and (3) cracks propagate by coalescence of microcracks or along the particle/matrix interface. And so we come to the conclusion that the fracture mechanism of SiCp/AZ91 composite is interface-controlled. The in situ SEM observations are verified by complementary SEM studies of the fractured specimens of conventional tensile tests. And so, the in situ SEM observations can be qualitative representation on the fracture behavior of bulk SiCp/AZ91 composite. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
