Composite titanium carbonitride (TiCN) thin films deposited on AZ31 by DC/RF magnetron sputtering were vacuum annealed at different temperatures. Vacuum annealing yields the following on the structure and properties of the films: the grain grows and the roughness increases with an increase of annealing temperature, the structure changes from polycrystalline to single crystal, and the distributi...

Abstract This study aims to analyze the influence of process parameters used for hydrothermal synthesis CaP coatings on their properties and improve corrosion resistance biocompatibility compared substrat AZ31. The monitored were deposition time, pH reaction mixture, concentration precursors in mixture. For deposited AZ31 magnesium alloy, surface morphology number structural defects evaluated u...

Abstract In this work, the influence of twin-roll casting (TRC) speed on microstructure through-thickness uniformity, centerline segregation, and surface quality three wrought Mg alloys was investigated. The microstructural features AZ31, ZX11, ZWK200 produced at TRC speeds ranging from 1.8 m/min to 2.2 (for AZ31 ZWK200), 1.5–2.5 ZX11 alloy) were analyzed. There clear differences in uniformity ...

We use phase-field models to characterize the microstructure present in magnesium AZ31 alloy solidified under welding conditions. We focus our attention on the study of the conditions under which a columnar-to-equiaxed transition (CET) is observed in resistance spot welds. Our simulations show how the size and shape of the columnar and equiaxed regions depend on factors such as cooling rate, te...

In the present study, friction spot welding or refill friction stir spot welding was performed to consolidate dissimilar AA5754 Al and AZ31 Mg alloys. The intermetallic compounds of Al12Mg17 and Al3Mg2 were primarily found in the weld, distributed at the interface between the base materials and in the Al top sheet. The distribution of the intermetallic compounds and the interfacial area between...
