Abstract
In the present work, an attempt has been made to clad AZ31 magnesium alloy with Zr-based bulk metallic glassy alloy (Vit-1), by casting method. The interface studies conducted using SEM-EDS line scan indicate that a good bond is formed at the clad interface of Zr and Mg. And the mechanism involved is discussed herein.
Highlights
Magnesium alloy sheet applications have been growing in transportation systems in recent years
Another such cladding was done on Mg alloys using a bulk-metallic glassy Zr alloy, in the present work using injection casting in inert atmosphere
The present work deals with a casting process which can result in a Zr alloy clad Mg alloy
Summary
Magnesium alloy sheet applications have been growing in transportation systems in recent years. An attempt has been made to clad AZ31 magnesium alloy with Zr-based bulk metallic glassy alloy (Vit-1), by casting method. As a part of these efforts, present authors have recently developed a new technology of cladding Al on the surface of the Mg alloy strips through twin-roll casting process [1,2]. Another such cladding was done on Mg alloys using a bulk-metallic glassy Zr alloy, in the present work using injection casting in inert atmosphere.
