Influence of ultrasonication power on grain refinement, mechanical properties and wear behaviour of AZ91D/nano-Al2O3 composites

In this study, magnesium alloy (AZ91D) matrix composites reinforced with 1 wt% of nano alumina (n-Al _2 O _3 ) were fabricated using novel Ultrasonic Treatment (UST) assisted squeeze casting method. UST was carried out at four different levels of ultrasonic power namely, 0 W (without UST), 1500 W, 2...
