Magnesium matrix composites are widely used materials because of its excellent properties and low weight. In this work, the magnesium-based composites have been fabricated using powder metallurgy (PM) route. The compressive strength (CP) of the Mg-1wt.% Gr- 6 wt.% T1B 2 composites were studied and reported. The effect of the compaction pressure (P), sintering temperature (T) and sintering time (h) on the compressive strength was analyzed. The increase in compaction pressure increases the mechanical properties of the composites. The optimum level of parameters for the high CS is that, A 3 B 3 C 3 that is higher Pressure, temperature and time produced the high strength composite. ANOVA showed the compaction pressure is the highly influenced parameter with the F value of 180.85. Sintering time is the least contributing factor for the response for the present study.
