Following laser cladding, the cladding zone was characterized by a detailed microstructural observation and phase analysis.

The microhardness of the cladding zone was significantly enhanced as high as HV122180 as compared to HV6080 of the substrate region. The maximal hardness about HV224 is in the interface due to the formation of intermetallic Mg17Al12 phase.
