Impact of heat treatment on the surface quality of electropolished WE43 alloy

  • In this study, the Mg alloy WE43 was solution annealed and precipitation hardened prior to electropolishing to evaluate the effects of different microstructures on the electropolishing result. While coarsely distributed precipitates led to surfaces showing wavy structures and dents after electropolishing, a uniform microstructure resulted in an even finish of the surface.

The homogenization and refinement of the microstructure by heat treatment is a method to ensure improved electropolished surfaces of Mg materialsshow moreshow less
