Effect of Nano-Ti Particles on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-3Al-1Zn Matrix Composites.

In this paper, a new nanoscale metal Ti particle-reinforced Mg-3Al-1Zn matrix composite was successfully designed and prepared, which is mainly characterized by the fact that in addition to the "light" advantages of magnesium matrix composite, it also realizes bidirectional improvement of strength and ductility of the composite, and can be used as an alternative material for military light vehicle armor and individual armor. The SEM test shows that the nano-Ti particles are uniformly distributed at the grain boundary under the extruded state, which nails the grain boundary, inhibits the grain growth, and significantly refines the grain. XRD tests show that the addition of nano-Ti particles increases the crystallinity of the composite, which is consistent with the SEM test results.
