Compressive Properties of Electroless Ni-P Coating Reinforced Magnesium Alloy Foams

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the open-cell Mg-2Zn-0.4Y foams were prepared by infiltration casting method. The Ni/Mg hybrid foams were prepared by electroless Ni-P coating on the foam struts to improve the compressive strength and energy absorption capacity. The compressive properties of the Mg alloy foams and Ni/Mg hybrid foams were studied by quasi-static compressive test. The experimental results show that the Ni-P coating is composed of crystallites. The Ni-P coating can significantly enhance the compressive strength, energy absorption capacity and energy absorption efficiency of the foams.
