摘要
Excimer laser surface melting (LSM) of the die cast AZ91D alloy has been investigated in terms of microstructure and corrosion behaviour. Excimer LSM of the alloy resulted in a highly homogeneous and refined melted microstructure, which improved the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The latter was associated with the large dissolution of intermetallic phases and the enrichment of aluminium within the melted layer. An increased number of laser Pulses resulted in thicker melted layers, but also in enhanced porosity and the formation of micro-cracks at the overlapping area. Both factors diminished the corrosion resistance of the laser-treated alloy. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
