The compression properties and electrical conductivity of in-situ 20 vol.% nano-sized TiCx/Cu composites fabricated via combustion synthesis and hot press in Cu-Ti-CNTs system at various particles size and morphology were investigated. Cubic-TiCx/Cu composite had higher ultimate compression strength (σUCS), yield strength (σ0.2), and electric conductivity, compared with those of spherical-TiCx/...

To elucidate the effect of extrusion ratio in hot-extrusion on deformation behavior during compression Mg97Zn1Y2 alloy containing about 25-vol% long-period stacking ordered phase (LPSO) HCP structured ? matrix (?Mg), situ neutron diffraction measurements were performed under compressive loading using four types samples: as-cast and after hot at 623 K with ratios 5.0, 7.5 12.5. The macroscopic y...
