Implication

Analysis revealed enhanced wear and hardness properties in AZ31 magnesium alloy nanocomposites with graphene and MWCNT, indicating potential industrial applications.

Key Points

Hybrid AZ31Mg composites showed a microhardness of up to 90.6 HV, which is a substantial improvement over the untreated matrix.
Adding 2.0 wt% MWCNT and 0.3 wt% graphene reduced grain size from 58.14 to 44.71 µm, demonstrating effective microstructural refinement.
Friction stir processing was conducted at a tool rotation speed of 1200 rpm and resulted in notable enhancements in wear resistance under applied loads.
The study aims to advance the application of these advanced nanocomposite materials in automotive and aerospace engineering.
