Abstract
Surface modification of magnesium alloy AZ91 by high current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) was investigated in the present work. After irradiated by HCPEB, crater-like defects were found scattering on the modified surface, when increasing pulse number, the density of craters sharply reduced. According to XRD analysis, hard intermetallic phase Mg17Al12 would sappear after several pulse of HCPEB treatment that is accordance with the improvement of wear resistance, but more pulses will lead to the solution of Mg17Al12 phase. Ultimately, due to the thickest depth of modified layer, sample treated with 30 pulses and accelerating voltage of 27 kV exhibited the best wear resistance, the depth of wear track decreased from 12.75 µm in initial state to 7.82 μm.
