Magnesium nanocomposites reinforced with rare earth element nanoparticles: nanoindentation-driven response

Magnesium (Mg), as the lightest metallic material, is 33% lighter than aluminum which makes it, potentially, a great replacement for aluminum and its alloys. However, Mg in pure and alloyed conditions is brittle at ambient temperature which largely limits their applications. One key solution to enha...

Magnesium nanocomposites reinforced with rare earth element nanoparticles: nanoindentation-driven response
description Magnesium (Mg), as the lightest metallic material, is 33% lighter than aluminum which makes it, potentially, a great replacement for aluminum and its alloys.

One key solution to enhance the strength and ductility of Mg and its alloys is to embed thermally-stable nano-size reinforcements within the Mg matrix to produce so-called “Mg nanocomposites”. The Mg nanocomposites are considering revolutionizing energy-saving lightweight materials of the future with enhanced strength and ductility properties.
