Mechanisms of Plastic Deformation in AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Investigated by Acoustic Emission and Electron Microscopy

THE DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR OF AZ31 MAGNESIUM ALLOY AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES

AZ31 magnesium alloy is considered as a promising alloy in various applications and industries. Furthermore, to design a proper hot working process (rolling, forging and extrusion), the assessment of hot working behaviour of the alloy is necessary. Accordingly, the hot deformation behaviour of AZ31 alloy was studied through hot compression testing method This was carried out in a wide range of ...

Characterization of hydroxyapatite containing micro-arc oxidation coating on ZK60 magnesium alloy

INTRODUCTION: Magnesium alloys are attractive as a class of biodegradable metallic materials. However, too fast degradation is an obstacle to their clinical applications. Recently, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were applied on biodegradable magnesium alloys to delay their degradation. In vivo studies showed that the protective ability of the MAO coating should be further improved [1]. Seal...

Microstructure and Fatigue Characteristic of AM60B Magnesium Alloy

This paper summarizes and reviews the findings of our research on AM60B magnesium alloy conducted in past 8 years. It essentially covers three categories: microstructural study, environmental effect, and fatigue crack growth rate of AM60B. The experimental and numerical studies on the influence of casting defects on this particular material’s properties are reviewed in the first part. It has be...

Dislocation-Governed Plastic Deformation and Fracture Toughness of Nanotwinned Magnesium

In this work, the plastic deformation mechanisms responsible for mechanical properties and fracture toughness in nanotwinned (NT) magnesium is studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The influence of twin boundary (TBs) spacing and crack position on deformation behaviors are investigated. The microstructure evolution at the crack tip are not exactly the same for the left edge crack (LEC)...
