Surface modification of machine-finished magnesium alloy AZ31 using a scanning cyclic press

A machined material has a work-hardened layer at its surface. In this study, a surface modification technique, the scanning cyclic press (SCP), was applied to machined specimens of magnesium alloy, AZ31, to investigate whether SCP can improve its fatigue properties regardless of the surface finish....

description A machined material has a work-hardened layer at its surface.
