Magnesium is one of the largely available elements in earth's crust. It has a low structural density with high specific strength. This unique material property forced an increase use magnesium and its alloys various applications pertaining to industrial sector, automobiles, aerospace biomedical. Since highly reactive metal, it prone higher rate corrosion as compared counterparts. Thus, essentia...

magnesium alloys in liquid-phase condition form surface oxide films due to their high rate of oxidation. oxide films enter the melt as a result of surface turbulence, and remain inside the workpiece after solidification. the incoherent nature of their interface causes decreases in mechanical properties and reliability of castings. the effect of critical velocity and greater velocities of enteri...

with the expanding demand on application of magnesium alloys in automotive and aerospace industries, robust methods in fatigue characterization of commercially available magnesium alloys with high specific strength is anticipated. in this paper, rotating bending load controlled tests has been studied on specimens machined from an extrusion piece of az31b. due to asymmetric and anisotropic behav...
