Recently magnesium alloys, owing to their low density and excellent specific strength have been attractive to designers as an advanced material for coping with energy conservation and environmental pollution regulations. Much of the recent developments of magnesium alloys and processes have been driven by the requirements of the aerospace industry, although some successful ones have found appli...

AZ91D and 8.5vol.% SiCp/AZ91D magnesium matrix composites were fabricated by a semi-solid extruded processing method, treated with solution aging heat treatment. The effects of SiCp on the microstructures alloy during recrystallization studied observing analyzing microstructure evolution extrusions treatments. results show that addition inhibits dynamic extrusion only 26% volume fraction recrys...

To refine the microstructure and improve mechanical properties of AZ91D alloy by expendable pattern shell casting (EPSC), vibration method was applied in solidification process alloy. The effects amplitude pouring temperature on magnesium were studied. results indicated that remarkably improved sizes, morphologies distributions primary α-Mg phase β-Mg17Al12 phase, densification tensile With an ...

Cathodic electrodeposition (CED) was used to coat the cast magnesium alloy Mg-9Al-1Zn-xRE with aluminum powder and epoxy. Immersion salt spray tests (ASTM B117) at room temperature for a total of 240 hours have been performed assess corrosion performances AZ91D alloy. At each 24-hour interval, samples were checked any damage or deterioration coating surface morphology. The X-ray diffraction (XR...
