It is shown that ZrO2 particles are agglomerated in any condition. In addition to zirconia, the structure contains Mg and Mg17Al12. Particles of ZrO(2)facilitate an increase in hardness and whose oxidation and abrasive mechanisms predominate.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesspowder metallurgycompositeswear resistancemicrostructuremagnesium alloyreinforcing particlesArticle10.1007/s11041-019-00424-z2-s2.0-850752048783295-6Q332561WOS:000495964100001Q4
