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.

This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically summarizes the effects of various suitable alloying elements and particulate reinforcements on mechanical and degradation properties of pure Mg and Mg alloys targeting biomedical applications. The suitability of alloying elements and particulate reinforcements are discussed based on their levels of toxic effects on human body. First attempt is made to study and discuss on the various available synthesizing techniques for fabrication of both impermeable and porous Mg materials. Further, more emphasis on development of new magnesium matrix nanocomposites (MMNC) is made owing to the similarities between natural bone and MMNCs as bio-“nanocomposite”. The information on synthesis, toxicity of alloying elements and reinforcements and their effects on mechanical and degradation properties of pure Mg will enable the researchers to effectively design Mg alloys and composites targeting biomedical applications.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 9.1, SRM University, language: English, abstract: This report presents an overview on the effects of different reinforcements in the magnesium and its alloy, so as to improve their mechanical and metallurgical properties. The morphology of microstructure and its effect on the physical properties of the magnesium is also discussed here. Magnesium matrix composites are potential materials for various applications of aerospace and defense organizations due to their low density, good mechanical and physical properties. The improvement of specific strength, stiffness, damping behavior, wear behavior, creep and fatigue properties are significantly influenced by the addition of reinforcing elements into the metallic matrix compared to the conventional engineering materials.

Download or read book Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of Magnesium Alloy Composites Reinforced with TiC and Ti2AlC Particles written by Babak Anasori and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein we report on the fabrication and mechanical properties of Mg composites fabricated by pressureless melt infiltration of Mg and Mg alloys into porous preforms of TiC and Ti2AlC. The latter is a member of the MAX phases - viz. layered machinable ternary carbides and nitrides - some of which are relatively light and stiff. In this study, pure Mg and three, commercially available, aluminum-containing Mg alloys - AZ31, AZ61 and AZ91 - were used as matrices at a loading of ~ 50 vol.%. For the most part, increasing the Al content enhanced the elastic moduli, Vickers hardness values and yield and ultimate compressive strengths. Reducing the particle sizes of the TiC and Tisub>2/subAlC particulate reinforcements also had a large impact on the mechanical properties. At 1028℗ł5 MPa, the ultimate compressive strength of a TiC-AZ61 composite, in which the TiC particle size distribution is Lorentzian and centered at, dc = 0.41℗ł0.01 ℗æm, was ~ 40% higher than that of the same composite with coarser TiC particles with bimodal size distributions centered around dc=1.6℗ł0.1 ℗æm, and 5.8℗ł0.3 ℗æm. In addition, the elastic modulus and Vickers hardness of the former composite were measured to be 174℗ł5 GPa and 3.4℗ł0.3 GPa, respectively. For the Ti2AlC reinforced composites, the best properties were obtained when AZ61 was reinforced with Ti2AlC particles with dc = 0.51℗ł0.01 ℗æm. The enhancements in elastic and mechanical properties are attributed to finer grained Mg-matrices, the presence of Al in the matrices which enhances the wetting of TiC and Ti2AlC by Mg to create a strong interface and finer reinforcement particle sizes. The latter two attributes, in turnlead to better mechanical interlocking. For the composites studied herein better elastic and mechanical properties, were obtained at the expense of damping. The TiC-reinforced Mg matrix composites despite their high mechanical properties, have very small energy dissipation capabilities. However, by using Ti2AlC, which inherently dissipates mechanical energy, it is possible to achieve higher damping while simultaneously enhancing the mechanical properties almost to the same levels as for the TiC reinforced composites. Using Mg alloys instead of pure Mg and reducing the reinforcement particle sizes also reduced the damping capabilities of these composites. There is a threshold stress below which the damping capacities of the Ti2AlC reinforced composites are comparable to those of their TiC reinforced counterparts. This was ascribed to the negligible damping of Ti2AlC below the threshold stress ( ~ 200 MPa). The Ti2AlC composites are slightly lighter and can be fabricated at lower temperature than comparable TiC composites; the former are also readily machinable but more expensive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightweight alloys have become of great importance in engineering for construction of transportation equipment. At present, the metals that serve as the base of the principal light alloys are aluminum and magnesium. One of the most important lightweight alloys are the aluminum alloys in use for several applications (structural components wrought aluminum alloys, parts and plates). However, some casting parts that have low cost of production play important role in aircraft parts. Magnesium and its alloys are among the lightest of all metals and the sixth most abundant metal on earth. Magnesium is ductile and the most machinable of all metals. Many of these light weight alloys have appropriately high strength to warrant their use for structural purposes, and as a result of their use, the total weight of transportation equipment has been considerably decreased.
