With excellent mechanical properties and distinct solidification, the AZ31B series magnesium alloy has great potential for targeting engineering applications and synthesized via die casting process found a drawback on oxidation results porosity and reduced mechanical properties. Here, the magnesium alloy AZ31B series nanocomposite was synthesized with varied weight percentages of zirconium dioxide nanoparticles through a liquid metallurgy route with an applied stir speed of 200 rpm under an argon nature. With the help of a scanning electron microscope, the distribution of particles in the composite surface was found to be homogenous and void-free surface, which output results in less percentage of porosity (andlt 1 ), and the composite contained 6 wt ZrO sub 2 /sub offers superior yield strength (212 3 MPa), tensile strength (278 2 MPa), and impact strength of 16.4 0.4 J/mm sup 2 /sup . In addition, 8 wt ZrO sub 2 /sub blended composite showed the maximum microhardness value (78.3 1 HV). The best-enhanced result of NC3 (AZ31B/6 wt ZrO sub 2 /sub ) is suggested for lightweight to high-strength structural applications.
