D Project D1: Surface properties of Mg alloys
Project Leader: Professor Barry Muddle - Monash University
Staff/students
The main strategic objective of this project is to develop a detailed understanding of the effect of certain alloying elements on surface behaviour of Mg alloys. We aim to demonstrate that surface properties of as-cast Mg alloys can be modified in a controlled fashion. This, in turn, will improve our understanding of ignition control of magnesium and can potentially enhance corrosion resistance of Mg alloys.
