Structure–property relations of cyclic damage in a wrought magnesium alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fatigue properties of an extruded Mg–3Al–0Mn magnesium alloy component were evaluated experimentally. Fully reversed, strain control fatigue tests were conducted on specimens extracted from regions with a varying grain size and texture. Scanning electron microscopy was employed to establish structure–property relations between microstructure and cyclic damage. Relations were drawn between microstructural features such as particle size, grain size, initial Taylor factor and the number of cycles to failure. 2010 Acta Materialia Inc.

متن کاملDiscontinuous Dynamic Recrystallization during Accumulative Back Extrusion of a Magnesium Alloy
The study of nucleation mechanism of new grains during severe plastic deformation of magnesium alloys is of great importance to control the characteristics of final microstructures. To investigate the role of discontinuous recrystallization, a wrought AZ31 magnesium alloy was deformed by accumulative back extrusion process at 330 °C. The obtained microstructures were studied using optical and...
متن کاملMechanical Behavior of an Ultrafine/Nano Grained Magnesium Alloy
The application of magnesium alloys is greatly limited because of their relatively low strength and ductility. An effective way to improve the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy is to refine the grains. As the race for better materials performance is never ending, attempts to develop viable techniques for microstructure refinement continue. Further refining of grain size requires, however...
متن کاملThermo-mechanical analysis of magnesium alloy cylinder heads using a two-layer viscoplasticity model
Loading conditions and complex geometry have led the cylinder heads to become the most challenging parts of diesel engines. The aim of this study is to compare the distribution of temperature and stress in the aluminum and magnesium cylinder heads under thermo-mechanical loads. The three-dimensional model of the cylinder heads was simulated in abaqus software and a two-layer viscoplasticity mod...
متن کاملFinite element analysis of fatigue damage in passenger-car diesel engine cylinder head under cyclic thermo-mechanical loadings
In this article, the thermo-mechanical fatigue lifetime of the cylinder head of a passenger-car diesel engine has been estimated. At the first stage, stress and strain distributions in the cylinder head have been calculated using the two-layer visco-plastic model, available in the ABAQUS software. The calibration of the model was performed, using correlating of simulated hysteresis curves and l...
