Formation and Characterization of MgSe Alloys by Pulsed Laser Welding Technique

Abstract

AbstractHerein, MgSe alloys with different compositions are fabricated using laser welding techniques within a couple of minutes in an argon atmosphere. The optimum laser welding parameters, which reveal the correct compositional ratios, are determined by varying arc voltage, pulse width, welding frequency, and laser beam diameter. The structure of the MgSe alloy is monoclinic. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy studies have shown that MgSe alloys are least porous and have a layered structure. The electrical resistance of the welded alloys depends on the Mg content in the samples. Measurements from impedance spectroscopy have shown that the alloys can function as band filters, displaying cutoff frequency values of ≈16 GHz for AC signals propagating at a driving frequency of 1.0 GHz with an amplitude of 0.10 V. The properties of the MgSe alloys make them attractive for use in 5G/6G technology applications as band filters.
