This paper reviews the manufacturing of magnesium-based alloys prepared by powder metallurgy (PM) technique and analysis of the effects of PM parameter on the developed microstructure, texture and mechanical properties. Powder metallurgy (PM) technique has been considered to produce magnesium product with consideration of less complex, finer grain and improved mechanical properties. Selection of PM route especially sintering to full densification determines a good diffusion path of alloy for interparticle bonding. This paper discusses the preparation and process parameter of each process in powder metallurgy routes, and the evolved microstructure including the crystallography texture and mechanical properties of the magnesium-based alloy product.

In this research, the effect of filler weld material on the mechanical properties of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welded AA6061 alloy weldments have been investigated. The microstructure of the base metal (BM) as well as weld metal (WM) and heat affected zone (HAZ) was analyzed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the Vickers hardness of the samples were compared. Corrosion resistance of the weld area was investigated in natural seawater solution. Results for both filler samples indicate that the strength of the WMs and HAZs is lower compared to BMs. In addition to that, the weld joints of ER4043 samples show relatively higher hardness compared to ER4047 samples. The corrosion test results show that ER4043 sample has a lower corrosion rate value compared to ER4047. It can be concluded that ER4043 samples show better Vickers hardness value and corrosion resistance compared to ER4047 samples.
