Received: 29 March 2012; in revised form: 24 April 2012 / Accepted: 22 May 2012 / Published: 29 May 2012 Abstract: The multiple beneficial effects of Al O nanoparticle addition to cast magnesium 2 3 based systems (followed by extrusion) were investigated, constituting either: (a) enhanced strength; or (b) simultaneously enhanced strength and ductility of the corresponding magnesium alloys. AZ31 and ZK60A nanocomposites containing Al2O3 nanoparticle reinforcement were each fabricated using solidification processing followed by hot extrusion. Compared to monolithic AZ31 (tension levels), the corresponding nanocomposite exhibited higher yield strength (0.2% tensile yield strength (TYS)),
