Influence of extrusion temperature and process parameter on microstructures and tensile properties of a particulate reinforced magnesium matrix nanocomposite

TL;DR: In this article, the results showed that grains of matrix in the SiCp/AZ91 nanocomposites were gradually refined while the amount of SiC nanoparticle bands was decreased with the extrusion temperature increasing from 250 to 350°C.

Microstructural observation, consolidation and mechanical behaviour of AA 6061 nanocomposites reinforced by γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, a uniform distribution of nano γ-Al 2 O 3 in the AA 6061 nanocrystallite matrix was successfully obtained after 30h of mechanical alloying (MA), and the compressibility and sinterability of prepared nanocomposite powders at varying sintering temperatures and varying compaction pressures was also studied.
