Compressive properties and damping capacities of magnesium reinforced with continuous steel wire

The magnesium reinforced with continuous 304 stainless steel wire (304/Mg) was fabricated using an infiltration casting process. The 304/Mg has a novel internal structure. The compressive properties and damping properties of 304/Mg were tested. The stress-strain curve of 304/Mg was similar to that of metal rubber. The compressive strength and elastic modulus of 304/Mg were 42.8% and 55.6% higher than those of pure Mg, respectively. The energy...
