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.
