“…Up to now, there exist many different particle-reinforced ex-situ MGMCs, such as WC p / Zr-based [37][38][39], WC p / Cu-based [37], SiC p / Zr-based [37][38][39], SiC p / Cu-based [37,38], Ta p / Zr-based [37][38][39][40], TiB 2p / Mg-based [41], ZrC p / Zr-based [42], porous W / Zr-based [43,44], porous Mo / Mg-based [45,46], porous Ti / Mg-based [47], Ti p /Mg-based [48], porous SiC / Zr-based [49], Cu p / Cu-based [50], TiNb p /Zr-based [51], Ti p / La-based [52], and C p / Zr-based bulk MGMCs (the subscript, p, denoting particles) [53]. All these ex-situ dual-phase composites exhibit toughness at room temperature.…”
