Microstructural transition from ZrO₂ to Zr–Al intermetallics and property evolution in AA5051 composites by G. Anbuchezhiyan, G. Ananth, Vignesh M, K. Logesh, Nabisab Mujawar Mubarak, Elango Natarajan

“…Microstructural observations show that ZrO2 particles distribute evenly throughout the alloy matrix without yielding residual pores, and they thrive as nucleation sites during solidification to inhibit recrystallisation. The tensile (24.12 ± 0.01%), compressive (22.55 ± 0.02%), flexural (21.42 ± 0.01%), and impact (32.39 ± 0.01%) characteristics are enhanced by good interfacial bonding, better stress distribution and increases in dislocation density between the intermixture. …”
