| Abstract Scope |
Magnesium-based alloys are being used today in various lightweight applications. The mechanical properties of magnesium-based alloys can be enhanced for such applications through a combination of annealing temperature and holding time of the magnesium-based alloy. The magnesium-based alloy under investigation in this study is Mg-5%Zn. The results of this investigation show that optimizing annealing time and temperature can achieve homogenization and enhance the mechanical properties and formability of Mg-5%Zn as seen in hardness test results for the homogenized samples. |
