Magnesium is one of the largely available elements in the earth's crust. It has a low structural
density with high specific strength. This unique material property has forced an increase in …

In the past few years the global need for low cost, high performance and good quality
materials has caused a shift in research from monolithic to composite materials. In case of …

A look at the current and future uses of magnesium-based products and their role in the
world's environmental and technological revolution The lightest of all structural metals …

In this paper, recent progress in magnesium matrix composite technologies is reviewed. The
conventional and new processes for the fabrication of magnesium matrix composites are …

In this study, a new method was used in stir casting to fabricate nano-Al2O3 particulate
reinforced aluminum composites and avoid agglomeration and segregation of particles …

Composites of Mg reinforced with 0.5, 1 and 2vol.% of nanosized Y2O3 particles were
fabricated using the disintegrated melt deposition technique. The nanocomposites were …

The use of ultrasonic non-linear effects to disperse nano-sized ceramic particles in molten
metal has been studied and nano-sized SiC particle reinforced AZ91D magnesium …

This paper investigates the wear behaviour of magnesium (Mg)-based metal–matrix
composites (MMCs) reinforced with silicon carbide particulates (SiCp) during dry sliding …

Friction stir processing (FSP) has been applied to incorporate 5–10vol.% nano-sized SiO2
into an AZ61Mg alloy matrix to form bulk composites. The nano-particles were uniformly …

Since the early '90s in last century, an interesting combination of metallic and ceramic-like
properties of MAX phases have motivated the development of MAX/metal matrix composites …
