Microstructure and Corrosion Behavior of Laser Welded Magnesium Alloys with Silver Nanoparticles

Magnesium alloys have gained increased attention in recent years in automotive, electronics, and medical industry. This because of magnesium alloys have better properties than aluminum alloys and steels in respects of their low density and high strength to weight ratio. However, the main problems o...
