Abstract
To improve the mechanical and corrosion resistance of AZ91D magnesium alloy, carbon ion implantation technique has been carried out using 2 MV Pelletron accelerator on the polished magnesium alloy surface. Vickers hardness test, particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and corrosion tests are employed to analyse the properties. Vickers hardness tests revealed the improvement in surface hardness which we infer is due to the enhancement in dislocation density, as a consequence of carbon ion implantation with varied dose from 1.26
