AB  - In recent years, the need for lightweight materials has been increasing, and researchers have been working to develop high-performance, low-weight materials. Magnesium (Mg) matrix composites have great potential for use in the aerospace, automotive and biomedical fields owing to their low density, high specific strength and good wear performance. Ceramic reinforcements are widely used for the production of Mg matrix composites, and additive manufacturing methods have been used in recent years, along with traditional methods such as stir casting and powder metallurgy. The production method, production parameters, reinforcement type, size and content directly affect the properties of the produced composites. This study examines the mechanical, wear and corrosion performances of Mg matrix composites. In addition, detailed information is provided in this study regarding the challenges, solutions and future work suggestions related to Mg matrix composites.

N2  - Son yıllarda hafif malzemelere olan ihtiyaç giderek artmakta olup araştırmacılar yüksek performanslı düşük ağırlıklı malzemeler geliştirmek için çalışmaktadır. Magnezyum (Mg) matrisli kompozitler düşük yoğunluk, yüksek spesifik mukavemet, iyi aşınma performansları sayesinde havacılık, otomotiv ve biyomedikal alanlarında büyük kullanım potansiyeline sahiptir. Mg matrisli kompozitlerin üretimi için seramik takviyeler yaygın olarak kullanılmakta olup, karıştırma döküm ve toz metalurjisi gibi geleneksel yöntemlerle beraber eklemeli imalat yöntemleri de son yıllarda kullanılmaktadır. Üretim yöntemi, üretim parametreleri, takviye çeşidi, takviye partikül boyutu, takviye oranı, üretilen kompozitlerin özelliklerini doğrudan etkilemektedir. Bu çalışma, Mg matrisli kompozitlerin mekanik, aşınma ve korozyon performanslarını incelemektedir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada Mg matrisli kompozitlerle ilgili kısıtlamalar, çözüm yolları, gelecekteki çalışma önerileri ilgili de ayrıntılı bilgi verilmiştir.
