Pretreatment for Magnesium Alloy

Electroless Nickel Plating on Magnesium Alloy

he inherent lightness and good strength-to-weight ratio of T magnesium has focused attention on increasing applications in aerospace and allied fields. Its density is two thirds that of aluminum-a conventional structure material for aerospace. Magnesium has one drawback: It is prone to atmospheric corrosion. Further, because of its high chemical affinity for aqueous solutions, it is categorized...

Microstructure-sensitive investigation of magnesium alloy fatigue

Kinetics of SIMA AZ80 Magnesium Alloy

Semi-solid feedstock of AZ80 magnesium alloy modified by [trace] rare-earth Y element 10 (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 wt.%) were fabricated by [strain-induced melting activation] (SIMA) in the form of 11 extrusion and partial remelting. The effect of Y addition on the microstructure evolution of [the] 12 extruded and [isothermally heat] treated alloy was observed by [using an] optical microscope (OM), 13 ...

Constitutive Modelling of AZ31B-O Magnesium Alloy for Cryogenic Machining

The success of a FE model for metal cutting process is strongly dependent on the accurate characterization of the workpiece material, under similar conditions as those found in metal cutting. In this paper, dynamic shear tests using a Gleeble machine have been performed on 4 mm thickness disks of AZ31B-O magnesium alloy, using a special designed tool. In order to include the effects of the cryo...

Magnesium and calcium utilization in sheep treated with magnesium alloy rumen bullets or fed magnesium sulfate.

A metabolism trial was conducted to assess some effects of magnesium alloy rumen bullets and magnesium sulfate on magnesium and calcium utilization in wether lambs fed a basal, semipurified diet (800 g/day) that contained .08% magnesium and .42% calcium. Four sheep were assigned randomly to each of four treatments: basal diet only (BD); basal diet plus two commercial magnesium bullets per anima...
