Abstract

A new processing procedure was applied to an Mg alloy. This procedure involves the equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process and laser melting surface treatment. A commercial Mg alloy was first produced by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process. Then the laser melting surfave treatment was carried out after ECAE. The effects of ECAE and laser melting on tribological properties of the alloy were investigated. Experimental results showed that the mechanical properties and tribological properties of the alloy were improved after ECAE. The laser melting surface treatment can further improve the tribological properties of Mg alloy.
