Experimental results on the nanostructural modification of an Al–C–Ti coating on magnesium alloy AZ91D under the multipulse action of Nd:YAG lasers (λ = 1064 nm, τ = 20 ns, and E = 200 mJ) and Nd-glass lasers (λ = 1060 nm, τ = 85 ns, and E = 2 J) are given. It is shown that the formation of the found nanocrystalline coating structure with a grain size of 35 to 400 nm involves the process of background deposition of ablated particles and condensed clusters formed in the plasma plume.
