Abstract
Al5086 aluminium alloy was claded to AZ31B magnesium alloy using friction stir processing. The effect of process parameters like tool rotational speed and travel speed on the corrosion resistance, microhardness and tensile properties of the claded AZ31B magnesium alloy was investigated. The study revealed that the samples processed at a higher process parameter range exhibited higher corrosion rate due to the presence of the higher percentage of magnesium trace elements on their surfaces. The precipitation of intermetallics in the stir zone influenced the microhardness values, and the intensity of intermetallics along the line determined the tensile properties of the claded AZ31B magnesium alloy.
