Abstract In this study, the effect mechanisms between the fretting wear behavior and properties of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings fabricated by different anodic voltages (AVs) on AZ91 magnesium alloy were investigated. The microstructure and macroscopic mechanical properties of the MAO coatings were analyzed by various characterization means. The evolution rule of fretting wear behaviors was carried out through sliding fretting wear experiment under different test parameters. The results showed that the increased in AV increased the MAO coating surface roughness and elastic modulus. The fretting wear resistance of magnesium alloy also enhanced after treatment by MAO, and the improvement effect was positively correlated to AV. Further studies revealed that the wear mechanisms of AZ91 magnesium alloy were oxidation wear and fatigue spalling, and that of MAO coating was mixed abrasive wear and fatigue spalling.

The effect of Ca and Sr content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a cast AZ91 magnesium alloy is investigated. Ca and Sr additions in AZ91 magnesium alloy are expected high creep resistance. The microstructure of the alloy exhibits the dendritic α-matrix and the second-phases forming networks on the grain boundary. Tensile tests at elevated temperatures between 448 and 523K reveal that the creep resistance was improved with increasing the additional amount of Ca, especially more than 1.0wt%. From the perspective of grain refinement effect, it is expected that the additions of Ca and Sr to AZ91 magnesium alloy not only improve creep resistance but also improve mechanical properties at room temperature.

Effects of CaCO3 modificator on microstructure and mechanical properties of cast AZ91 Magnesium alloy have been investigated. Tensile fracture behavior of AZ91 alloys modified by CaCO3 has also been studied. Results show that CaCO3 modificator can obviously refine the grain of AZ91 magnesium alloy and Mg17Al12. Mg17Al12 in grain boundary of AZ91 alloy after modified by CaCO3 changes from continuous reticular structure to discontinuous reticular structure, even so much as granular structure and rod structure. After modified by 0.5wt% CaCO3 modificator, ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, impact toughness and elongation of AZ91 alloy increase from 186MPa to 200MPa, from 147MPa to 160MPa, from 4J to 9J and from 2.6% to 5%, respectively. And 0.5wt% CaCO3 modificator brings about an optimal refining effect. The study also shows that the fracture mechanism of modified AZ91 alloy is between cleavage fracture and quasi-cleavage fracture, which is as same as that of unmodified AZ91 alloy.

AbstractIn this study, conventional WC-12Co cermet coatings were deposited on AZ91 magnesium alloy using High Velocity Oxy-Fuel spray method. The effects of different coating thicknesses (60 and 120 µm) and wear loads (20 and 30 N) on tribological properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy coated with WC-12Co were investigated. Structural, mechanical and tribological properties of WC-12Co coatings were analyzed by means of X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, micro-hardness tester and pin-on-disc tribotester. It was observed that WC-12Co coating is an effective method for improving the wear behavior of AZ91 magnesium alloy.
