Corrosion Protection of Friction Stir Spot Welds Produced in an AZ31B Magnesium Alloy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Magnesium alloys can be joined by friction stir spot welding (FSSW) to achieve high mechanical integrity of the weld. Previous work done on AZ31B FSSW joints has shown that the welding process reduced their corrosion resistance, and resulted in localized attack around the weldment. The present work explores the possibility of a post-welding plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treatment to minimize the negative effect of welding on the corrosion resistance of AZ31B. A mass loss testing approach was adopted to assess the corrosion resistance of PEO coated base metal and welded specimens. PEO coatings were found to drastically improve the corrosion resistance of welded and monolithic AZ31B, eliminating the localized corrosion associated with welding. Further improvement to the corrosion resistance of PEO coatings was achieved by adding polyethylene glycol to the electrolyte. The scanning reference electrode technique revealed that the breakdown mechanisms of the coating was governed by cathodic activation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
