This book was released on 2015 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The low density and high strength to weight ratio of magnesium alloys makes them ideal candidates to replace many of the heavier steel and aluminum alloys currently used in the automotive and other industries. Although cast magnesium alloys components have a long history of use in the automotive industry, the integration of wrought magnesium alloys components has been hindered by a number of factors. Grain refinement through thermomechanical processing offers a possible solution to many of the inherent problems associated with magnesium alloys. This work explores the development of several thermomechanical processing techniques and investigates their impact on the microstructural and mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. In addition to traditional thermomechanical processing, this work includes the development of new severe plastic deformation techniques for the production of fine grain magnesium plate and pipe and develops a procedure by which the thermal microstructural stability of severely plastically deformed microstructures can be assessed.

Download or read book Improving Mechanical Properties of a Magnesium Alloy by Severe Plastic Deformation written by Michael Gzyl and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnesium alloys are very promising materials for automotive and aerospace applications due to their low density. The market of medical implants (e.g. temporary orthopaedic and cardiovascular implants) is another field of possible applications of magnesium alloys since they can completely dissolve within human body without causing any major health issues. Unfortunately, magnesium alloys have been well-known from their low formability at room temperature and poor corrosion resistance. The aim of the current work was to improve mechanical properties of a magnesium alloy by incremental equal channel angular pressing (I-ECAP). The goal of the process is to refine grain structure of a continuous bulk metallic billet without changing its dimensions. In the current work, the most popular wrought magnesium alloy AZ31B was subjected to I-ECAP for the first time to confirm potential of the method for industrial production of innovative lightweight materials. The process window was determined on the basis of I-ECAP experiments conducted with various process parameters (temperature, processing route, initial grain size of the alloy). Additionally, various microstructural characterization methods, including ex situ and in situ analyses, were incorporated in this work to show a relation between the grain size and the deformation mechanisms occurring in the alloy. It was found that mechanical properties of AZ31B can be tailored to a specific application by using different process parameters. It was shown that yield strength can be increased from 165 MPa to 290 MPa when temperature of I-ECAP is reduced to 150 °C. Moreover, room temperature ductility of the produced material can exceed 40% when a combination of I-ECAP and subsequent heat treatment is applied. The results of the work confirmed that I-ECAP could be considered as the useful method for producing advanced lightweight metallic materials with a potential for industrial applications.
Download or read book Magnesium Alloys written by Frank Czerwinski and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnesium alloys with their unique physical and chemical properties are important candidates for many modern engineering applications. Their density, being the lowest of all structural metals, makes them the primary choice in global attempts aimed at reducing the weight of transportation vehicles. However, magnesium also creates challenges at certain stages of raw alloy melting, fabrication of net-shape components and their service. The first one is caused by very high affinity of magnesium to oxygen, which requires protective atmospheres increasing manufacturing cost and heavily contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. The second challenge relates to very high corrosivity of liquid magnesium towards materials it contacts. This imposes restrictions on the selection of materials used to contain, transfer or process molten magnesium during manufacturing operations. A mixture of unique benefits and serious challenges of magnesium alloys in solid and liquid states described here makes the book very useful for a broad audience of scientists and engineers from academia and industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major issue of energy saving and conservation of the environment in the world is being emphasized to us to concentrate on lightweight materials in which aluminium alloys are contributing more in applications in the twenty-first century. Aluminium and its related materials possess lighter weight, considerable strength, more corrosion resistance and ductility. Especially from the past one decade, the use of aluminium alloys is increasing in construction field, transportation industries, packaging purposes, automotive, defence, aircraft and electrical sectors. Around 85% is being used in the form of wrought products, which replace the use of cast iron. Further, the major features of aluminium alloy are recyclability and its abundant availability in the world. In general, aluminium and its related materials are being processed via casting, drawing, forging, rolling, extrusion, welding, powder metallurgy process, etc. To improve the physical and mechanical properties, scientists are doing more research and adding some second-phase particles in to it called composites in addition to heat treatment. Therefore, to explore more in this field, the present book has been aimed and focused to bridge all scientists who are working in this field. The main objective of the present book is to focus on aluminium, its alloys and its composites, which include, but are not limited to, the various processing routes and characterization techniques in both macro- and nano-levels.
Download or read book Investigation of the Mechanical Behavior of WE43 Magnesium Alloy Modified Via Multi Directional Forging written by Camila Rita De Souza and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanical processing improves the mechanical behavior of modern materials, thus increasing their strength, toughness, and other physical properties. This research focuses on the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy WE43 under conditions of severe plastic deformation. The main objective of this research is to characterize structurally the magnesium alloy and analyze the formation of bulk ultrafine grains produced by two main techniques which promote the change in grain size and consequently the increase of the mechanical strength. Multi Directional Forging is a compression procedure applied to the material in all three directions, maintaining the dimensional ratio and increasing the strain produced until the cumulative strain be greater than 2.0. This was conducted at 550 °C. As magnesium alloy WE43 has good properties at higher temperatures; the cumulative plastic strain obtained was higher than 2.0. To complement the study of the strength increase via plastic deformation, Equal Channel Angular Processing was applied at three different temperatures. The required stress to push the material through the die at 550 °C was 867 MPa. The results show a moderate decrease in grain size from 18 μm to 14 [mu]m in ECAP and 12 [mu]m in Multi Directional Forging. This decrease in grain size results in an increase in the hardness. In view of the brittleness of the magnesium alloy it was not possible to increase the plastic strain as expected in Multi Directional Forging per pass; the samples fractured if the stress was increased beyond 230 MPa. The yield stress at 1.6 x 10-2 s-1 increased from 87 MPa for the initial condition, to 115 MPa for the specimens subjected to a strained. In dynamic compression test, experiments were conducted at a strain rate of 2.5x103 s-1 and the yield stress increased to 246 MPa. This shows that magnesium has a high strain-rate sensitivity.

Download or read book Mechanical Properties in Progressive Mechanically Processed Metallic Materials written by Radim Kocich and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-02-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demands on innovative materials given by the ever-increasing requirements of contemporary industry require the use of high-performance engineering materials. The properties of materials and alloys are a result of their structures, which can primarily be affected by the preparation/production process. However, the production of materials featuring high levels of the required properties without the necessity to use costly alloying elements or time- and money-demanding heat treatment technologies typically used to enhance the mechanical properties of metallic materials (especially specific strength) still remains a challenge. The introduction of thermomechanical treatment represented a breakthrough in grain refinement, consequently leading to significant improvement of the mechanical properties of metallic materials. Contrary to conventional production technologies, the main advantage of such treatment is the possibility to precisely control structural phenomena that affect the final mechanical and utility properties. Thermomechanical treatment can only decrease the grain size to the scale of microns. However, further research devoted to pushing materials’ performance beyond the limits led to the introduction of severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods providing producers with the ability to acquire ultra-fine-grained and nanoscaled metallic materials with superior mechanical properties. SPD methods can be performed with the help of conventional forming equipment; however, many newly designed processes have also been introduced.
