Abstract. Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique was employed for consolidation of AZ31 magnesium chips. The chips were consolidated at temperature 300 °C following ECAP route A up to two passes. optical and scanning electron micrographs reveal that have taken place the quality improves with number passes hence total imposed strain. Vickers hardnes...

A surface treatment process, composed of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and sealing by temporary oil preservation system containing corrosion inhibitors, was performed on AZ31 magnesium alloy in order to improve its resistance environments chlorides. Both atmospheric immersion conditions were evaluated electrochemical tests 0.1M NaCl solution together with salt spray test according STN EN ...
