Abstract

Surface composites are developed on Mg RZ 5 alloy by friction stir processing. During FSP, hard reinforcements are introduced into the matrix of RZ 5 alloy and dispersed uniformly by mechanical stirring action. The reinforcements dispersed were boron carbide, carbon nanotubes (multi-walled) and an 80:20 mixture of zirconia and alumina particles. Dynamic recrystallization and grain boundary pinning action by reinforcement particles resulted in the generation of fine-grained surface composites. Corrosion characteristics of the base material and the surface composites are studied by potentiodynamic polarization technique. The corrosion rates estimated for the surface composites are found to be far lesser than the base material while their polarization resistances were higher than the base material. Among all surface composites, B4C particle reinforced surface composites exhibited the lowest corrosion rate of ∼15 mpy. Reduction in the corrosion rate of the surface composites is influenced by fine-grained microstructure and presence of harder reinforcement particles.
