Reliability Evaluation of Fatigue Characteristics of Magnesium Alloy AZ31B under Corrosive Environment

Prediction of corrosion rate of AZ31B magnesium alloy under salt fog environment in NaCl solution

Magnesium alloys have gained considerable interest as a material for automotive and aerospace applications due to its low density, high specific strength, and good castability. However, another considerable issue is their corrosion properties. This restricts their practical applications. In this present research, corrosion behavior of the AZ31B magnesium alloy was evaluated by conducting salt f...

Constitutive Modelling of AZ31B-O Magnesium Alloy for Cryogenic Machining

The success of a FE model for metal cutting process is strongly dependent on the accurate characterization of the workpiece material, under similar conditions as those found in metal cutting. In this paper, dynamic shear tests using a Gleeble machine have been performed on 4 mm thickness disks of AZ31B-O magnesium alloy, using a special designed tool. In order to include the effects of the cryo...
