Abstract Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, has inherently poor corrosion resistance. In this study, we developed a magnesium-aluminium Mg-10.6Al-0.6Zn-0.3Mn alloy, additively manufactured by laser powder bed fusion. We reveal that alloy record low degradation rate amongst all magnesium alloys in practically relevant corrosive solutions, and it even withstands seawater corrosion. As test...

friction welding is widely used in various industries. in friction welding, heat is generated by conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy at the interface the work pieces during pin rotation under pressure. a three-dimensional thermo mechanical simulation of friction stir welding (fsw) processes is carried out for aluminium alloys of 6061and 7050 where the simulation results are comp...

Aluminiumeair cells are high-energy density (<400 W h kg 1) primary batteries developed in the 1960s. This review shows the influence of the materials, including: aluminium alloy, oxygen reduction catalyst and electrolyte type, in the battery performance. Two issues are considered: (a) the parasitic corrosion of aluminium at open-circuit potential and under discharge, due to the reduction of wa...
