| Abstract Scope |
Magnesium based nanocomposites, on account of their excellent dimensional stability coupled with mechanical integrity, have provided the much-needed impetus for utilization in both aerospace and automobile-related applications. However, the perceived easy ignition and flammability of magnesium alloys creates a detrimental safety feature which hinders their aerospace application opportunities. Incorporation of rare earth metal oxides into magnesium matrix can induce ‘reactive element effect’ (REE), due to their strong rare-earth-oxygen interactions. Along with enhancing the protective characteristics of oxides on many metals and alloys, the addition of such rare earth oxides also helps in realizing a refined microstructure and good strength-ductility combination in the composites. This manuscript presents the mechanical properties and ignition resistance characteristics of the new and improved composite materials engineered by reinforcing magnesium with rare-earth oxide nanoparticles. Rationale for the observed properties is discussed while concurrently establishing the relationship between microstructure of the engineered composites and resultant mechanical properties. |
