Superior high creep resistance of in situ nano-sized TiCx/Al-Cu-Mg composite

Abstract The tensile creep behavior of Al-Cu-Mg alloy and its composite containing in situ nano-sized TiCx were explored at temperatures of 493 K, 533 K and 573 K with the applied stresses in the range of 40 to 100 MPa. The composite reinforced by nano-sized TiCx particles exhibited excellent creep...
