Characterisation and mechanical properties of Al/SiC metal matrix composite coatings formed on ZE41 magnesium alloys by laser cladding

Metal matrix composite coatings on light alloys are in high demand in the transport industry to reduce the weight of vehicles without a reduction in mechanical properties. Composite coatings with various mixtures of Al, Si, Ti and SiC could be a good option for this application but the high reactivi...
