This book was released on 1984 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of fiber fraction, fiber orientation and matrix alloy additions on tensile and fatigue behavior were studied in commercially pure magnesium and ZE41A (Mg-4.25Zn-0.5Zr-1.25RE) that were both reinforced with FP alumina fibers. In general, axial properties were not. Off-axis loading resulted in substantial reductions in tensile and fatigue strength in the commercially pure matrix material. Although failure in tensile overload occurred along the weak fiber/matrix interface in off-axis specimens, subcritical fatigue cracks propagated parallel to the fiber direction but through the matrix. The fractographic appearance of these cracks is similar to cyclic cleavage along slip planes. The critical stress intensity for unstable fracture of off-axis material was controlled by a combination of the normal and shear stress components acting on the fiber/matrix interface. The alloying conditions in ZE41A resulted in a slight decrease in axial properties accompanied by a significant improvement in off-axis behavior. These differences were found to be a result of improved matrix and interface strengths and a decrease in fiber strength. The reaction zone product in both materials was determined to be MgO.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the current and future uses of magnesium-based products and their role in the world's environmental and technological revolution The lightest of all structural metals, having one-fourth the density of steel and two-thirds that of aluminum, magnesium has already been adopted as an alternative construction material in applications as far ranging as automotive and sports equipment, electronics, and space technology. In a world concerned with minimizing the environmental impact of products, the choice of light-weight, energy-saving, and high-performance materials, like magnesium, would seem a small, significant step towards improving life on this planet. Magnesium, Magnesium Alloys, and Magnesium Composites introduces the science and current applications of this important metal, shedding light on the magnesium-based composites developed over the last fifteen years. Chapters include in-depth discussion of: The characteristics of pure magnesium—including atomic properties and crystal structure as well as physical, electrical, and mechanical properties Magnesium alloys—and the effects of the alloying elements, such as aluminum, lithium, copper, nickel, and silicon The properties of magnesium-based composites—and the effects of different types (metallic, ceramic, interconnected, and intermetallic) of reinforcements of varying length (from micron scale to nanometric length) Corrosion aspects of magnesium-based materials Magnesium-based products in medicine, sports equipment, and the automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries Bringing together, for the first time, the science, properties, and technologies relating to the current and future uses of magnesium, this important reference also offers readers a glimpse of a not-too-distant world in which environmental safety and sound engineering are a reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnesium (Mg) Metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced by ceramic reinforcements are being developed for a variety of applications in automotive and aerospace because of their strength-to-weight ratio. Reinforcement being considered includes SiC, Al2O3, Carbon fiber and B4C in order to improve the mechanical properties of MMCs. Microstructural and interfacial characteristics of MMCs can play a critical role in controlling the MMCs' mechanical properties. This study was carried out to understand the microstructural and interfacial development between Mg-9wt. Al-1wt. Zn (AZ91) alloy matrix and several reinforcements including SiC, Al2O3, Carbon fibers and B4C. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy was employed to investigate the microstructure and interfaces. Al increase in hardness due to the presence of reinforcements was also documented via Vicker's hardness measurements. Thermodynamic consideration based on Gibbs free energy was employed along with experimental results to describe the interfacial characteristics of MMCs. Reaction products from AZ91-SiC and AZ91-Al2O3 interfaces were identified as MgO, since the surface of SiC particles is typically covered with SiO2 and the MgO is the most thermodynamically stable phase in these systems. The AZ91-Carbon fiber interface consist of Al4C3 and this carbide phase is considered detrimental to the mechanical toughness of MMCs. The AZ91-B4C interface was observed to contain MgB2 and MgB2C2. In general, Vicker's hardness increased by 3X due to the presence of these reinforcements.
