On the Effect of Ti2AlC on the Formation of Thermally Stable Mg Nano Grains

Abstract
When Mg and Mg-alloys are reinforced with Ti2AlC,-using a simple pressureless melt infiltration method-the result is nanocrystalline, nc, Mg-matrix composites with outstanding mechanical properties. As an added bonus, the nc Mg-matrix is extraordinarily thermally stable up to above the melting point of Mg. When Mg-alloy, AZ61, is used to infiltrate the Ti2AlC preform, ultimate tensile stresses of 800 MPa are achieved. The reasons that lead to the formation of the nc-Mg are as of yet not understood. In this study, the different composite's microstructures are investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy. The results shed light on why the Mg forms as nanograins and why they are as stable as they are.
