On the mechanical and tribological behavior of Al3Mg2 complex metallic alloys as bulk material and as coating

Growth behavior of intermetallic compounds during reactive diffusion between aluminum alloy 1060 and magnesium at 573–673 K

“…Furthermore, the intermetallic layer exhibited a hardness level nearly five times that of the Mg and Al alloy 1060 Table 3 Values of n i and k i for the b and c layers at 623 K and 673 K. matrix. The formation of intermetallic compounds between Mg core and Al alloy 1060 cladding inevitably compromises mechanical properties of the cladding [35].…”

“…Among the existing surface modification techniques, Al diffusion coating (aluminising) has been recognised as a promising approach to enhance wear and corrosion resistance of Mg alloys [5][6][7][8][9]. Through aluminising treatment, hard and inert intermetallic compounds were formed on the surface of the alloys, providing protection from wear and corrosion [9][10][11][12]. A packed powder diffusion coating (PPDC) technique using Al and Zn mixed powders as the diffusion source was successfully applied to obtain thick polycrystalline β-Mg 17 Al 12 and τ-Mg 32 (Al, Zn) 49 intermetallic layers on Mg alloys.…”

Size effect on the melting temperature depression of Al 12 Mg 17 complex metallic alloy nanoparticles prepared by planetary ball milling

“…However, development of the CMAs for different applications in form of single or polycrystalline bulk materials has been impeded by their brittleness thus these compounds can be used as thin films or as reinforcements instead of conventional reinforcement particles in the composites materials due to their high elastic limit and hardness [16][17][18][19]. A new possible solution to overcome brittleness and enlarge the range of future applications of CMAs can be fabrication and use of nanometer-sized CMAs in different shapes which will remarkably affect their properties.…”
