The microarc oxidation (MAO) films on AZ31 magnesium alloy were modified by high-intensity pulsed ion beam (HIPIB) at an ion current density of 200 A/cm2 with 1-5 shots. The modified MAO films presented a corrosion resistance superior to that of the original films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation revealed that a sealing layer was formed on the MAO films by HIPIB irradiation. The corrosion behaviors of the MAO films in 3.5 % NaCl solution were characterized by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The noticeable improvement in the corrosion resistance of MAO films is attributed to the blocking effect of the sealing layer that hinders the process of electrolyte penetrating the MAO films to the magnesium alloy.

The bending fatigue tests were performed using the small sized specimens of AZ31 magnesium alloy fabricated by the focused ion beam (FIB) processing to investigate the scale effect on the fatigue behavior. For the fatigue test of the small sized specimens, the fatigue testing apparatus was constructed by the piezo actuator and the high-resolution microscope for controlling the very small displacement. The specimen was micropillar-shaped with the rectangular cross section of 3μm x 8μm and the height of 40μm. The fatigue strengths of the small sized specimens were higher than those of the bulk sized specimens. The fracture surfaces were also investigated carefully compared with those of the bulk specimen.

HIPIB irradiation into AZ31 magnesium alloy is performed at ion current density of 100-300 A/cm2 with 1 shot. The surface morphologies and surface profiles of the irradiated AZ31 magnesium alloy samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and profilometer, respectively. It is found that HIPIB irradiation leads to the formation of crater in local region of irradiated samples, and crater density increases with increasing ion current density. Both the surface roughness that reflects the vertical wave of surface profile and the mean spacing of surface profile irregularities that reflects the horizontal wave of surface profile increase as ion current density increases. These results are in agreement with the SEM observation on the irradiated surface.
