Summary

Laser surface cladding and laser surface alloying are two methods to improve the surface wear resistance of magnesium alloys. AZ91, WE54 and cp-Mg were used as substrate materials. As additional materials elements forming hard and stable intermediate phases like Al, Si, Ni and Cu as well as SiC were chosen to produce surface layers with an improved wear resistance. The wear behaviour was investigated by pin on ring (POR) and pin on disc (POD) tests under different atmospheric and lubricating conditions. The results of these investigations will be presented in this paper.
