Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Laser radation surface treatment of MA21 alloy makes it possible to increase its corrosion resistance in 3% NaCl solution in comparison with the original deformed condition by about 30 times with pulsed treatment or by more than an order of magnitude with continous treatment.

  2. 2.

    In the zone of laser action MA21 alloy acquires a uniform finely dispersed structure with an average grain size of up to 2 μm.
