New Mg-3Zn-2Ca magnesium alloy was prepared using different processing techniques: gravity casting as well as squeeze casting in liquid and semisolid states. Materials were further thermally treated; thermal treatment of the gravity cast alloy was additionally combined with the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). Alloy processed by the squeeze casting in liquid as well as in semisolid state ...

Modeling the flow curves of materials at elevated temperatures is the first step in mathematical simulation of the hot deformation processes of them. In this work a comparative study was provided to examine the capability of three different constitutive equations in modeling the hot deformation flow curves of AZ91 magnesium alloy. For this, the Arrhenius equation with strain dependent constants...

Various electrochemical approaches, including potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential evolution and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), are employed to investigate the degradation behavior of biomedical magnesium alloy under the influence of aggressive ions, such as chloride, phosphate, carbonate and sulfate, in a physiological environment. The synergetic effects and mutu...

Abstract In the current work, magnesium (AZ91D) matrix composites reinforced with different weight fractions (5, 10, and 15%) of titanium diboride (TiB 2 ) 1.5 wt% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are fabricated using stir casting. The improvements in mechanical, wear corrosion resistance properties evaluated as per ASTM guidelines. synergistic strengthening effect TiB CNT is also studied. It was discov...

Magnesium is extracted with a chloroform solution of N-p-tolyl-2- thenohydroxamic acid (PTTHA) from aqueous solution of pH 9.5 .Mg-PTTHA complex is colourless and the colour is developed by adding quinalizarin into the extract. lmax and e of the complex are 590nm and 2.8´103 Lmol -1cm-1respectively.Most common  ions do not interfere in the determination of magnesi...
