abstract = "Mg-6Zn/1.5\% SiC nanocomposites were successfully fabricated by ultrasonic cavitation based dispersion of SiC nanoparticles in Mg-6Zn alloy melt. As compared to un-reinforced Mg-6Zn alloy matrix, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites including tensile strength, yield strength and ductility of the Mg-6Zn/1.5\% SiC nanocomposites were improved significantly. This enhancement is possible even though there are still some SiC micro-clusters in the microstructure. Also, the grain size of Mg-6Zn alloy was refined considerably by the addition of 1.5\% SiC nanoparticles.",
