Investigation into Atomic Diffusion at the Interface During Extrusion Welding of Magnesium and Magnesium Alloys

This research was aimed to reveal atomic diffusion across the bonding interface through the extrusion-welding experiments of dissimilar materials, namely pure magnesium and Mg–Al–Zn–RE alloy. A special tooling setup used to simulate weld seam formation during extrusion through a porthole die was designed for this model study. To deform the...
