Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has been proven to be a unique and substantial development in welding technology for the last two decades. In recent times, research advancement FSW related knowledge have emerging quickly worldwide. several benefits when lightweight alloys like magnesium alloys. AZ series of alloy is widely used structural applications great scope cater customized solutions industri...

The study of nucleation mechanism of new grains during severe plastic deformation of magnesium alloys is of great importance to control the characteristics of final microstructures.  To investigate the role of discontinuous recrystallization, a wrought AZ31 magnesium alloy was deformed by accumulative back extrusion process at 330 °C.  The obtained microstructures were studied using optical and...

Chitosan based nanofibers containing carbon nanotubes were applied on AZ31 magnesium alloy via electrospinning. The magnesium substrate was initially anodized in a NaOH solution in order to improve the adhesion between the coating and substrate. Electrospinning parameters were optimized and homogenous nanofibers composite coatings were produced. Addition of carbon nanotubes reduced the size of ...

Magnesium is an abundant material with high specific strength, and its use as a structural metal increasing. However, properties cause difficulty in formation at room temperature. Therefore, the objective of this study was to form magnesium alloy temperature using underwater shock wave generated by discharge aluminum wire. Forming conducted auxiliary plate composed instead alone. In addition, h...

In this work, a novel solid-phase processing; namely, shear assisted processing and extrusion (ShAPE) was used to modify the microstructure of AZ31 magnesium alloy, which simultaneously improved corrosion resistance along with mechanical properties compared wrought alloys. A noble breakdown potential, higher polarization resistance, smaller film thickness after immersion observed ShAPE processi...

Abstract The temperature evolution of the Hall–Petch parameters for basal slip and twinning systems has been evaluated AZ31 alloy, using synchrotron radiation diffraction during compression tests from room to 473 K. alloy was processed following two processing routes, casting powder metallurgy, obtain different grain sizes with a similar strong fiber texture. Although macroscopic plasticity is ...

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...
