Structure and Properties Investigation of a Magnesium Alloy Processed by Heat Treatment and Laser Surface Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The goal of this paper is to present the structure and properties of the magnesium cast alloys in as-cast state and after heat treatment. Moreover the purpose of this paper is to extend a complex evaluation of magnesium alloys after laser surface treatment and the new methodology to determine thermal characteristics of magnesium alloy using the novel Universal Metallurgical Simulator and Analyzer Platform (UMSA). The presented results concern X-ray qualitative and quantitative microanalysis as well as qualitative X-ray diffraction method, light and scanning microscope.
