Composites formed mechanical working of two-phase ductile metal mixtures have received substantial consideration in recent years because of the unique properties they show compared to conventional materials. During mechanical deformation, the two phases deform together, causing the second minor phase to elongate, which results in a fibrous structure within the matrix. Therefore, these composites are referred to as in situ composites or Deformation Processed Metal Matrix Composites (DMMC's). In study, a FCC matrix Al containing HCP Mg will be studied to explore the relationship between properties and microstructures.
