Crack Propagation Behavior

This paper deals with fatigue crack propagation behavior of rolled AZ31B magnesium alloy. Two types of specimens with the loading axis parallel to rolling direction were machined; fatigue crack propagation direction was parallel to transverse direction (L-T specimen), and short transverse direction (L-S specimen). Fatigue crack propagation tests were performed with center cracked plate tension specimen with stress ratio R=0.1 and frequency of 10Hz at room temperature. Crack propagation rate of L-T specimen was approximately 10 times higher than that of L-S specimen. SEM-EBSD observations revealed that the c-axis direction is unfavorable for the fatigue crack propagation in textured polycrystalline magnesium alloy.
