Linear Friction Welding of an AZ91 Magnesium Alloy and the Effect of Ca Additions on the Weld Characteristics

Solid-state welding offers distinct advantages for joining reactive materials, such as magnesium (Mg) and its alloys. This study investigates the effect of linear friction welding (LFW) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast AZ91 (Mg–9Al–1Zn) and AZ91–2Ca alloys, which (to the best...
