Excimer laser surface treatment of magnesium alloy WE43 for corrosion resistance improvement

In the present study, an exclmer laser was used, which is unique for surface modification thanks to the laser emission in the ultraviolet (UV) range and the extremely short pulse duration in the range of nanoseconds. It is envisaged that the inherently high cooling rate of the process would result i...

Summary:In the present study, an exclmer laser was used, which is unique for surface modification thanks to the laser emission in the ultraviolet (UV) range and the extremely short pulse duration in the range of nanoseconds. It is envisaged that the inherently high cooling rate of the process would result in a shallow melted zone which is largely free from constituent particles. This should improve the resistance of pitting corrosion of the alloy.
