Optimum strain rate of the composites fabricated by squeeze casting was about 1×10^(-1) s^(-1) but TEM observation indicates that the β-Si_3N_4w/Al-Mg has a fine grain of about 2- 3μm and that the whisker might no react with Mg at the interfaces, although the β-Si_3N_4 whisker react with aluminum matrix.展开更多
