Application of magnesium alloy is restricted by its bad formability and low corrosion resistance. In order to resolve these problems, rolling-bonding has been tried as a new method. Pre-heating, rolling and annealing were used in the process of bonding, and aluminum cladding magnesium alloys obtained. The effects of many parameters in the processes of pre-heating, rolling and heat-treatment on bonding strength have been analyzed, and the mechanism of rolling-bonding been studied. It was found that intermediate phase played an important role in the bonding. Good bonding of aluminum cladding magnesium alloys achieved after annealing at 200oC for 1 hour.

Magnesium alloys are excellent choice for automobile, aerospace, and computer components owing to their light weight, unique physical and mechanical properties. However, poor corrosion resistance has restricted their applications in aggressive environments. The surface coating is one of the viable options to reduce the susceptibility of magnesium alloys to corrosion. The present study focuses on the effect of heat treatment of AZ91 magnesium alloy, for different durations at 400 °C, prior to electroless Ni-P deposition on corrosion resistance. The microstructure and elemental analysis of the heat-treated specimens are performed using SEM and EDS techniques respectively. It is observed that the duration of heat treatment has a significant effect on the surface morphology and microstructure of the alloy. The precipitates in the cast alloy (enriched with Mg and Al) fragmented and the transformed into a new Al and Zn rich phase, after 12 h heat treatment. The dissolution of precipitates, however, observed on heating further to 24 h and exhibited relatively a lesser corrosion current density. The dense electroless Ni-P deposition is formed on the alloy heat treated for 24 h. The corrosion behavior of the single Ni-P layer on the heat treated (for 12 h) and untreated alloy show a marked deterioration, as investigated by the anodic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Relatively a better corrosion performance is seen for the double-layer Ni-P deposition. The duplex layer coatings on the as cast and heat treated for 24 h at 400 °C substrates showed an improved corrosion resistance compared to that on the 12 h heat treated substrate.

The weight reduction concept is most effective to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from vehicles, which also improves fuel efficiency. Amongst lightweight materials, magnesium alloys are attractive to the automotive sector as a structural material. Welding feasibility of magnesium alloys acts as an influential role in its usage for lightweight prospects. Friction stir welding (FSW) is an appropriate technique as compared to other welding techniques to join magnesium alloys. Field of friction stir welding is emerging in the current scenario. The friction stir welding technique has been selected to weld AZ91 magnesium alloys in the current research work. The microstructure and mechanical characteristics of the produced FSW butt joints have been investigated. Further, the influence of post welding heat treatment (at 260 °C for 1 h) on these properties has also been examined. Post welding heat treatment (PWHT) resulted in the improvement of the grain structure of weld zones which affected the mechanical performance of the joints. After heat treatment, the tensile strength and elongation of the joint increased by 12.6 % and 31.9 % respectively. It is proven that after PWHT, the microhardness of the stir zone reduced and a comparatively smoothened microhardness profile of the FSW joint obtained. No considerable variation in the location of the tensile fracture was witnessed after PWHT. The results show that the impact toughness of the weld joints further decreases after post welding heat treatment.
