Cycle Fatigue

Magnesium is one of the lightest metals for structural components. It has been used for producing various lightweight cast components, but the application of magnesium sheet plates is less widespread. There are two reasons for this: (i) its poor formability at ambient temperatures; and (ii) insufficient data on its durability, especially for dynamic loading. In this article, an innovative approach to predicting the fatigue life of the AZ31 magnesium alloy is presented. It is based on an energy approach that links the strain–energy density with the fatigue life. The core of the presented methodology is a comprehensive new model for tensile and compressive loading paths, which makes it possible to calculate the strain–energy density of closed hysteresis loops. The model is universal for arbitrary strain amplitudes. The material parameters are determined from several low-cycle fatigue tests. The presented approach was validated with examples of variable strain histories.

Az80 Magnesium Alloy

In this paper, the influence of ageing and solution treatment on the low cycle fatigue behavior of a rolled AZ80 magnesium alloy sheet was investigated at constant total strain amplitudes between 0.003 and 0.01. It was observed that fatigue life of the alloy sheet at as-rolled, ageing and solution treatment conditions can be described well by Coffin-Manson and Basquin’s equations. The fatigue parameters follow the two equations were evaluated. With increasing total strain amplitude, the fatigue life of the three conditions decreased. At the lowest total strain amplitude of 0.003, the fatigue life of the as-rolled alloy sheet was the biggest. However, at the highest total strain amplitude of 0.01, the fatigue life of solution treated alloy sheet was the biggest, and that of the ageing treated alloy sheet was the shortest.

Gravity Casting

The properties of gravity casting AZ91D-0.4Ca-0.3Sr alloy with Gd and Y in metal mould were studied by controlling the total strain amplitude ranged from 0.05mm to 0.25mm.under the conditions of the stress of ratio R equal to –1. In addition, the microstructure, phases, chemical constitute, fracture and low cycle fatigue behaviors of the magnesium alloy were primarily researched by means of SEM, EDAX and XRD and so on. The results showed that 3.0wt%Gd and 3.0wt%Y introduced the AZ91D-0.4Ca-0.3Sr alloy can refine α-Mg, and that Gd cooperating with Y can significantly improve the low cycle fatigue life. The low cycle fatigue times can be up to approximately 9874.
