SUMMARY This Report describes an investigation into the tensile and torsional properties of DTD 5025 magnesium alloy castings. Strength and stiffness values are given, and the variation of these parameters between different batches and manufacturers is shown. The effect on mechanical properties of long and short term temperature environments is mdwated.

Cast AZ31B-H24 magnesium alloy, comprising Mg with 3.27 wt% Al and 0.96 wt% Zn, was cold rolled and subsequently annealed. Global texture evolutions in the specimens were observed by X-ray diffractometry after the thermomechanical processing. Image-based microstructure and texture for the deformed, recrystallized, and grown grains were observed by electron backscattered diffractometry. Recrysta...

Magnesium alloys are regarded as potential candidates in industrial and biomedical applications because of their excellent mechanical properties biodegradability. However, the excessive degradation rate magnesium can cause a premature disintegration integrity, which is main bottleneck that limits applications. Inspired by nature, various novel surface designs provide clever strategy to regulate...

A systematic study was carried out to evaluate the correlation between high pressure die casting (HPDC) parameters and the mechanial properties of Magnesium alloys. The tested alloys included two conventional alloys: AZ91D and AM50A and a newly developed alloy, RI153M. The nature of the above correlations was semi-empiric, based on computer simulation of the die casting process using MAGMA® sim...

Magnesium is among the lightest structural metals available, with capacity to replace traditional alloys in mass-saving applications while still providing increased stiffness and strength. The inclusion of reinforcing components into metallic matrix has a substantial impact on stiffness, specific strength, wear behaviour, damping creep properties when compared typical engineering materials. Due...

It has recently been shown that Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) techniques could be used to obtain nanostructured metal hydrides with enhanced hydrogen sorption properties. In this paper we review the different SPD techniques used on metal hydrides and present some specific cases of the effect of cold rolling on the hydrogen storage properties and crystal structure of various types of metal hy...
