Abstract
A blade-abrading method was newly developed for the preparation of clean Mg alloy surface and reported for the first time in detail in this paper. The blade-abrading method includes abrading of the Mg alloy surface with a sharp blade or knife to remove the surface oxide and contaminants on the skin of Mg alloys mechanically, thereby providing very clean surface of Mg alloys. The clean surface prepared by the blade-abrading method in the air was found to be covered with thin and dense air-formed oxide films. Based on the experimental results obtained in this work, it is concluded that the newly developed blade-abrading technique is a very simple and useful pretreatment method which can provide clean and well-defined surface for the following surface treatments.
