Transient liquid phase bonding of ZK60 magnesium alloy was performed by incorporating aluminium foil as an interlayer, unaided and in combination with graphene nanoplatelets. The solitary incorporation of aluminium foil increased the shear strength of magnesium alloy in comparison to the addition of graphene nanoplatelets with aluminium foil. The fractured surfaces revealed a mixed-mode fracture while the hardness profile across the interface showed the increase in hardness in the bonded region, which was due to the formation of Al12Mg17 intermetallic.
