Abstract

Mg-based micro- and nanocomposites were prepared by the powder metallurgical route. Specimens were deformed in tension and in compression at temperatures between RT and 300 °C at a constant crosshead speed giving an initial strain rate of 5.5 × 10– 5 s– 1. Both a yield stress and an ultimate stress improvement were observed in the composites in comparison with the unreinforced microcrystalline Mg. A different deformation behaviour in tension and in compression was observed. The changes in the deformation behaviour can be attributed, among others, to twinning, which occurs in the composites at higher stages of deformation. Various contributions to the composite strengthening are discussed.
