Abstract
In the present study, results revealed that strength of the microwave sintered commercially pure magnesium was significantly enhanced till 100°C due to the incorporation of hybrid (0.7 % yttria + 0.6 % nickel) nano-particle reinforcement, which diminishes gradually with a further increase in test temperature. Presence of the hybrid reinforcement particles assisted in complete recrystallization of magnesium matrix at 150°C. The hybrid reinforcement also assisted in the deformation process of magnesium and achieved large ductility at a relatively low temperature.
