  1. Overview The goal of this CAREER research program is to understand the role of nanoparticles in modifying the deformation behavior of magnesium (Mg) alloys. The central hypothesis is that the presence of nanoparticles in the alloy not only affects grain size, and hence its grain refining capability, but also enhances plastic deformation mechanisms. It is through this fundamental understanding of deformation mechanisms in the presence of nano-sized particles in Mg alloys that deeper insight can be gained into other alloy systems with similar anisotropic crystal structures. Methodology A series of dysprosia Dy2O3nano-spheres and nano-rods were added to Mg using a technique called Electromagnetic Acoustical Transmission (EMAT). This technique couples induction heating with a high magnetic field to produce a high intensity ultrasonic signal. This signal produces a fine dispersion of nano-size particles throughout the microstructure. This unique microstructure is currently being studied for its effect on the ductility and formability of Mg.
