When soaked in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, Al₂Ca shell with a low electrochemical potential prevents direct contact of noble Al₈Mn₄Y with Mg matrix, mitigating the micro-galvanic corrosion and meanwhile accelerating the formation of uniform corrosion film.

However, the different characteristics of C_sf and Mg alloy make the interface a critical issue affecting the synergistic improvement of thermal and mechanical properties of the composites. Here, Cu coating with different thicknesses is introduced to modify the C_sf/Mg interface, so as to simultaneously enhance the thermal and mechanical performances, which can combine the advantages of coating modification and matrix alloying. Results reveal that thermal diffusivity (TD) of 3-C_sf-Cu/Mg composites is as high as 22.12 mm²/s and an enhancement of 52.97% is achieved compared with C_sf/Mg composites, as well as 16.3% enhancement of ultimate compressive strength (UCS) in the longitudinal direction, 8.84% improvement of UCS in the transverse direction, and 53.08% increasement of ultimate tensile strength (UTS). Such improvement can be ascribed to the formation of intermetallic compounds. The formation of intermetallic compounds can not only effectively alleviate the lattice distortion of the matrix and decrease interfacial thermal resistance, but also bear the loads.

The numerical analysis and experimental investigation were combined to study the process mechanism in Mg/Al UVeFSLW. An equation related to the temperature and strain rate was derived to calculate the grain size at different locations of the weld nugget zone, and the effect of grain size distribution on the threshold thermal stress was included, so that the prediction accuracy of flow stress was further improved. With such modified constitutive equation, the numerical simulation was conducted to compare the heat generation, temperature profiles and material flow behaviors in Mg/Al UVeFSLW/FSLW processes. It was found that the exerted UV decreased the temperature at two checking points on the tool/workpiece interface from 707/671 K in FSLW to 689/660 K in UVeFSLW, which suppressed the IMCs thickness at Mg-Al interface from 1.7 µm in FSLW to 1.1 µm in UVeFSLW. The exerted UV increased the horizontal materials flow ability, and decreased the upward flow ability, which resulted in the increase of effective sheet thickness/effective lap width from 2.01/3.70 mm in FSLW to 2.04/4.84 mm in UVeFSLW.

The effects of the concentration, applied load, and reciprocating frequency on the friction and wear of the AZ91D alloy were studied using an SRV-4 sliding wear tester. Results show a decrease of 18.7–68.5% in friction coefficient, and a reduction of 19.4–54.3% in wear volume of magnesium alloy can be achieved by applying the synthetic serpentine additive under different conditions. A suspension containing 0.3 <em>wt.%</em> MSH was most efficient in reducing wear and friction. High frequency and medium load were more conducive to improving the tribological properties of magnesium alloys. A series of beneficial physical and chemical processes occurring at the AZ91D alloy/steel interface can be used to explain friction and wear reduction based on the characterization of the morphology, chemical composition, chemical state, microstructure, and nanomechanical properties of the worn surface. The synthetic MSH, with serpentine structure and nanotube morphology, possesses excellent adsorbability, high chemical activity, and good self-lubrication and catalytic activity. Therefore, physical polishing, tribochemical reactions, and physical-chemical depositions can occur easily on the sliding contacts. A dense tribolayer with a complex composition and composite structure was formed on the worn surface. Its high hardness, good toughness and plasticity, and prominent lubricity resulted in the improvement of friction and wear, making the synthetic MSH a promising efficient oil additive for magnesium alloys under boundary and mixed lubrication.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"13 1","pages":"Pages 379-397"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139917053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PEO process typically generates a porous oxide layer, which can reduce corrosion protection by allowing corrosive agents to penetrate the substrate. To address this limitation, phenopyridine (PHEN) and 2-methylimidazole (2-IMD) were incorporated into the PEO surface to form a robust organic layer on the Mg alloy. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) was used to adjust the pH, improving the interaction and solubility between the organic molecules and the PEO coating. The hybrid coating exhibited unique twig-like surface structures that contributed to forming a multifunctional coating with high corrosion resistance and superior photocatalytic activity. The PEO-PHEN-2IMD sample on the Mg alloy demonstrated exceptional corrosion resistance, with the lowest corrosion current density (<em>I_corr</em>) of 1.92 × 10^-10 A/cm², a high corrosion potential (<em>E_corr</em>), and the highest top layer resistance (<em>R_top</em>) of 2.57 × 10⁶ Ω·cm², indicating excellent barrier properties. Additionally, the coating achieved complete (100%) degradation of methylene blue (MB) within 30 min under visible light.

The fabricated MnS/MnO heterostructure, characterized by S defects, also generates Mn defects via in-situ initiation of early electrochemical processes.
