    Investigation of radiation shielding parameters of AZ61 magnesium alloy after electric arc spray and micro arc oxidation processes
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Durna, Idris; Yilmaz, Demet; Catar, Recep; Altun, Hikmet
    In this study, the radiation shielding parameters of AZ61 magnesium (Mg) alloy, which is used in automotive, aerospace, and biomedical fields due to its low density, high specific strength, and biocompatible properties, were determined to investigate its usability in nuclear protection applications. Firstly, Al coating was applied to AZ61 Mg alloy by electric arc spray process and then ceramic oxide layer was obtained by micro arc oxidation (MAO) method. Then, the radiation shielding properties of AZ61 alloy were investigated. The radiation shielding parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), mean free path (MFP), half-value layer (HVL) and effective atomic numbers (Zeff) were measured in gamma spectrometer with Ba-133 radioactive sources. The fast neutron removal cross-sections (Sigma R), exposure buildup factors (EBF) were theoretically determined. The results revealed that the duplex coating (AZ61-Al-O) significantly enhanced the gamma shielding capability compared to the uncoated AZ61 alloy, achieving about 8.0 % higher MAC at 383.8 keV. Therefore, the AZ61-Al-O sample can be considered a promising lightweight material for radiation protection applications.

    Investigation of the Structural and Corrosion Properties of Duplex Surface Treated AZ31 Magnesium Alloy
    (Springer, 2025) Durna, Idris; Catar, Recep; Altun, Hikmet
    The AZ31 alloy was first completely coated with pure aluminum in this study using the electric arc spray coating method. Then, considering the existing benefits of the micro-arc oxidation process (MAO), a ceramic oxide coating was formed by applying MAO to the Al-coated surface. Thus, a duplex coating was obtained on the base material. The structural properties of both the Al-coated samples and the duplex coatings obtained after the MAO process were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDS), and x-ray diffraction devices. The electrochemical behavior of the coatings was carried out in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The samples were polarized from the potential value - 0.2 V below the corrosion potential to the maximum value of 2 V at a scanning rate of 1 mV/s, and potentiodynamic polarization curves were recorded. According to the electrochemical experiments, Al coatings and duplex coatings improved the corrosion resistance of AZ31 alloy. The corrosion current density values were 298.23 mu A/cm2 for the base material, 0.415 mu A/cm2 for the Al coating, and 0.014 mu A/cm2 for the duplex coating, respectively. The best corrosion resistance among all samples was obtained in duplex-coated samples obtained by MAO. Due to their low corrosion resistance, magnesium alloys are restricted in many areas, especially aviation, automotive, and biomedical. Therefore, this study aimed to improve the corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy.
