Abstract:Surface modification technology on magnesium alloys has been developed by using MgSi thin films via a glow discharge sputtering process, in employing Mg 2 Si bulky materials fabricated by powder metallurgy (PM) process as targets. This is because Mg 2 Si sintered materials have high hardness and Young's modulus, in particular, a superior corrosion resistance to the conventional stainless steel. The Mg-Si thin film, having 1-2 µm thickness, deposited on the AZ31 substrate improved the mechanical properties, wea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
