The use of a Zn/Ag–Cu–Zn/Zn multi-interlayer was observed to avoid the formation Mg–Al binary intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which cause embrittlement and low strength bonding when dissimilar metals such as Mg/Al are joined using ultrasound-assisted transient liquid phase (U-TLP). change in microstructure mechanical properties AZ31B/LY12 joints at 410, 440, 460 °C with prolonging ultrasonic tr...

High-frequency impacting and rolling was applied on AZ31B magnesium alloy to obtain a gradient nano-structured surface. Surface characteristics were experimentally investigated, and the nanocrystallization mechanism is discussed in detail. Results showed that the gradient nano-structure with the characteristics of work hardening, compressive residual stress and a smooth surface was induced on t...

The success of a FE model for metal cutting process is strongly dependent on the accurate characterization of the workpiece material, under similar conditions as those found in metal cutting. In this paper, dynamic shear tests using a Gleeble machine have been performed on 4 mm thickness disks of AZ31B-O magnesium alloy, using a special designed tool. In order to include the effects of the cryo...

In this paper, a methodology is presented for obtaining the plastic anisotropy of bulk metallic materials using cross-sectional indentation. This method relies on spherical indentation on the free edge of a specimen, and examining the out-of-plane residual deformation contour persisting on the cross-section after unloading. Results obtained from numerical simulation revealed that some important...
