Adding TiC Nanoparticles to Magnesium Alloy ZK60A for Strength/Ductility Enhancement

Figure 3

Schematic diagram showing textures of monolithic ZK60A and ZK60A/TiC nanocomposite based on X-ray diffraction. In each case, vertical axis (dashed line) is parallel to extrusion direction. Each cell is made up of 2 HCP units having 1 common (0 0 0 2) basal plane.
