Effects of Laser Cladding Treatment on Surface Performance of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy
Effects of laser cladding treatment on surface performance of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet were observed by the help of Nd-YAG laser. Rapid melting-solidification occurs on the surface of the AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet
and treated surface is composed of re-melting zone and heat history zone. Grain size is apparently refined in the re-melting zone
and hardness is increased by 5% compared to that of the matrix. Immersing corrosion experiment shows that corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy with laser cladding treatment is greatly improved in 3.5% NaCl solution
which is attributed to grain refinement in re-melting zone and enrichment of Al element in cladding surface.
