“…Many previous research programs have shown that powder metallurgy technique is an important and useful processing route for fabrication of composites. Powder metallurgy is an advanced metal forming technology used for producing high quality structural components with near net shape [15], and a number of researchers have used the powder metallurgy technique for fabricating magnesium based composites. Wong and Gupta [2] synthesized magnesium composites with copper particulates by using a powder metallurgy technique which involved microwave assisted two-directional sintering.…”
