Hardness and corrosion behavior of an Al-2Mn alloy with both microstructural and chemical gradients

Abstract An Al–2Mn binary alloy with gradient microstructure and chemistry near its surface was fabricated by combining surface mechanical treatment and post-ageing treatment. TEM results indicate that the minimum grain size of the topmost surface layer is below 100 nm. As revealed by SIMS results,...
