Fabrication of Metallic Glass Layers on Al Alloys with Improved Corrosion Resistance and Micro-Hardness by Pulsed Electrical Discharge Treatment

Pulsed electrical discharge (PED) is a method that has been employed to fabricate metallic glass (MG) layers on Al-Cu-Mg-(Zn) alloys. Abnormal Al and Cu element segregation has been found on the alloys vitrified surfaces after PED treatment. Surface element evaporation was found and proven to be the...
