Hybridizing boron carbide (B4C) particles with aluminum (Al) to enhance the mechanical response of magnesium based nano-composites

► Presence of B4C particles did not change the texture. ► Hybridizing agent improves the grain refinement efficiency. ► Presence of Al-B4C particle intensified the prismatic texture compared to Mg. ► Hybridizing agent improves, further, the mechanical response of Mg/B4C system.
