In this paper, the influence of deposition time on the surface morphology, composition, structure, grain size and hardness of electroless nickel plated directly in neutral pH bath on AZ91 magnesium alloy are discussed by using SEM, EDS, XRD and microhardness test machine measurements. The results show that with the increasement of the plating time, the surface tends to be smooth, dense, and complete. The coating is composed of Ni and P and the content of P increases with the increasing the plating time. Furthermore, the XRD peaks for the coatings shift to the right and broaden gradually with prolonged plating time, which indicates that the interplanar spacing of the crystal and the grain size are simultaneously decreased. At the same time, the microhardness of the samples is also increased with increasing plating time.

This article reports the effect of MnCO3addition on the grain refinement efficiency of AZ91 magnesium alloy. The results indicate that the addition of MnCO3has excellent grain refining efficiency for AZ91 alloy, which is mainly attributed to the Al4C3particles formed in the melt, besides Mn is indispensable to grain refinement in Al-bearing magnesium alloys. There is an optimal addition amount of 0.6% at 740 °C and the grain size is reduced from 245 to 91 μm. At the same time, the corrosion resistance performance of MnCO3-added AZ91is improved.

The experiments focused on the influence of strontium and calcium as additional alloying elements on the grain size and phase distribution of AZ91 magnesium alloys. For this purpose, different concentrations of Sr (0.01, 0.1, 0.4, and 0.8) and Ca (0.01, 0.1, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.78) were added. The microsturctural examination of specimens was made by an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. From obtained results it was found that using 0.4 wt% strontium can provide a fine and uniform structure.

The true stress-strain curves of AZ91 magnesium alloy as-homogenized were studied with compression tests on Gleeble 3500 thermal simulated test machine at 200°C—400°C and strain rate range of 10-3S-1 — 5S-1. Critical recrystallization behavior of AZ91 magnesium alloy was investigated by using strain hardening rate. The relationship between critical stress of dynamic revrystallization and temperatures and strain rates is determined by the curves between strain hardening rate and flow stress. According to the irreversible principles of thermo dynamics, the critical stresses at different temperatures and strain rates are calculated by two derivative of θ—σ curves. The map of the critical stress-temperatures-strain rates is established.

AZ91 Magnesium alloy was subjected to friction stir processing (FSP). The microstructural analyses of the friction stir processed (FSPed) specimens were carried out and the effects of pass number, rotational speed, and traverse speed upon thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) were investigated. The TMAZ is consisted of a region with highly elongated grains and a partially recrystalized zone. Decreasing the rotational speed and increasing the traverse speed increased the thickness of recrystallized zone; while, the thickness of the other zone decreased. On the other hand, it lessened the gradient of the grain size from the stir zone (SZ) to the base metal. Applying several FSP passes, lead to more homogeneous TMAZ structure with the finer grain size.
