Fig. 7: Comparison of mechanical properties for the bioinspired Mg-Ti composites with different architectures.

a Elongation to fracture εF versus specific yield strength \({\sigma }_{{{{{{\rm{YS}}}}}}}/\rho\); b specific work of fracture \({U}_{{{{{{\rm{F}}}}}}}/\rho\) versus specific ultimate tensile strength \({\sigma }_{{{{{{\rm{UTS}}}}}}}/\rho\); c fracture toughness KIc versus impact toughness ακ. The loading configurations with respect to the architectures for uniaxial tension, fracture toughness and impact toughness measurements are illustrated in the insets. The data for the Mg alloy composite reinforced with discrete Ti-6Al-4V particles (uniform) are also shown for comparison49.
