Al2O3 Nanoparticle Addition to Commercial Magnesium Alloys: Multiple Beneficial Effects

The multiple beneficial effects of Al2O3 nanoparticle addition to cast magnesium based systems (followed by extrusion) were investigated, constituting either: (a) enhanced strength; or (b) simultaneously enhanced strength and ductility of the corresponding magnesium alloys. AZ31 and ZK60A nanocompos...
