schematic diagram in Figure 4.59. The effects of varying the thickness of the alternating
layers on the properties of the layered composites were investigated.
Preweighed, nano-sized Al2O3 powders were first blended with pure magnesium powder
to obtain a composition containing 2.5 weight percent of Al2O3 powder in the mixture. The
blended powder was arranged in a layered arrangement of varying thickness with pure
