Fatigue tests were performed on electroless nickel-plated magnesium alloy specimens in laboratory air and 3% sodium chloride solution. In. laboratory air, the effect of surface treatments (plating, blasting and polishing) on the fatigue lives of specimens was found to be minimal. However, in 3% sodium chloride solution, the electroless Ni-plated specimens were found to have shorter fatigue lives than those of the polished and blasted specimens. In order to study the fatigue mechanisms, successive observations of the specimen surfaces were conducted during the fatigue process in both laboratory air and sodium chloride solution. Observations of the fracture surfaces were also conducted to clarify the fatigue mechanism. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
