X-Ray Stress Measurement for Rolled Magnesium Alloy AZ61 Made by Twin-Roll Casting

Numerical Analysis of Az61 Magnesium Alloy Extrusion Process by Modified Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ecae) Method

T. Bajor, M. Krakowiak, P. Szota, Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland The paper presents the results of numerical modelling of AZ61 magnesium alloy hot deformation using modified ECAE method. The temperature-velocity conditions were analysed using FEM. The extrusion process was realised using the die with modified angular channel containing horizontal contracting zone in t...

Dynamic Modeling of Twin-roll Steel Strip Casting

We consider the problem of dynamic coupling between the rapid thermal solidification and mechanical compression of steel in twin-roll steel strip casting. In traditional steel casting, molten steel is first solidified into thick slabs and then compressed via a series of rollers to create thin sheets of steel. In twin-roll casting, these two processes are combined, thereby making control of the ...

Effect of Rolling Route on Microstructure and Tensile Properties of Twin-Roll Casting AZ31 Mg Alloy Sheets

Twin-roll casting AZ31 Mg alloy sheets have been fabricated by normal unidirectional-rolling, head-to-tail rolling, and clock-rolling, respectively. It has been demonstrated that head-to-tail rolling is the most effective to refine the microstructure and weaken the basal texture among the three rolling routes. Excellent integrated tensile properties can be obtained by the head-to-tail rolling. ...

Effect of Stress Ratio on Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior of Magnesium Alloy AZ61 under 3.5 Mass% NaCl Spray Environment*

Fatigue crack growth behavior of AZ61 magnesium alloy was investigated in low humidity (55% relative humidity) and 3.5% NaCl spray environments under various stress ratios. Fatigue crack growth rates became higher with increasing load ratio for both environments. However, the results of fatigue crack growth test under 3.5% NaCl spray environment showed lower fatigue crack propagation rate compa...
