摘要
Surface modification by excimer laser surface melting (LSM) has been performed with the aim to improve the corrosion resistance of the AA2050-T8 alloy. LSM produced melted surfaces, largely free of precipitates, with both microstructure and corrosion behaviour depending upon the number of laser pulses employed. Increased number of laser pulses resulted in thicker melted layers, but also in greater trapped porosity and formation of micro-cracks at the overlapping area. Nevertheless, the LSM-treated specimens exhibited enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the untreated alloy, which was associated with the formation of a relatively uniform melted layer and a diminished presence of precipitates.
