Verschleiß- und Korrosionsschutz bei Leichtmetallen mittels schweißtechnischer Verfahren (Wear and Corrosion Prevention for Light Metals by Means of Welding Methods) Available to Purchase

The aim of this investigation is to increase the corrosion and wear resistance of magnesium (Mg) alloys. This paper explains how various coatings applied via plasma powder (PTA) and laser deposition welding processes affect the wear properties of two Mg alloys. It is shown that coating quality depends on the type of Mg used, the composition of the filler materials (matrix and carbides), and welding parameters. The best results for Mg alloys AM50 and AZ31 were obtained with a coating consisting of a composite matrix (AlSi₁₂) with boron carbide additions. Paper text in German.
