Adding TiC Nanoparticles to Magnesium Alloy ZK60A for Strength/Ductility Enhancement

ZK60A nanocomposite containing TiC nanoparticles was fabricated using solidification processing followed by hot extrusion. The ZK60A nanocomposite exhibited similar grain size to monolithic ZK60A and significantly reduced presence of intermetallic phase, reasonable TiC nanoparticle distribution, non...
