Abstract

Magnesium is the lightest practical metal and has many excellent properties such as high specific strength, good machinability and good recyclability. At the same time, it shows low corrosion resistance and poor cold workability. On the other hand, titanium has relatively low density, high specific strength and excellent corrosion resistance. In this study, titanium with some advantages over magnesium was used for cladding the surface of a magnesium alloy with a much lower density in order to produce a new light material with improved corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and formability in comparison with the magnesium alloy. The sheet of this material named “Titanium-Clad Magnesium alloy (TCM)” possesses much higher strength and better press formability than the monolithic magnesium alloy sheet. To apply the TCM sheet to various industrial fields, a large-sized AZ61Mg/Ti clad sheet coil has been fabricated as a trial sample for evaluating the performance of TCM.
