Abstract

Combinatorial gradient-controlled sputter deposition has been employed to produce a library of 100 separate thin films with a wide range of Mg-Al alloy compositions. We have successfully isolated the â (Mg17Al12) phase in polycrystalline films for investigation. The presence of the â phase has been found to be desirable for increasing corrosion resistance; however, in structural components under tensile loading and/or at elevated temperatures, the â phase precipitates undergo coarsening which induces poor creep behavior in several common alloys. We have also synthesized amorphous Mg-Al and mixed-phase compositions as identified by X-ray diffraction measurements. Details of the growth procedure as well as structural and compositional characterization are presented.
