Abstract Scope |
The limitations of the internal combustion engine have driven alternate means of improving efficiency, such as using lightweight magnesium alloys for structural components. To meet structural strength and fatigue requirements the mechanical properties must be improved through forging, made difficult due to the crystal structure of magnesium. Research has shown that the mechanical properties of forged magnesium rely on the grain size, grain orientation, and internal defects of the as-cast starting material. This research focuses on the influence of the as-cast structure on the forging response and microstructure evolution of the AZ80 magnesium alloy. Flow stress is measured for samples cast with high and low cooling rates, and samples that were homogenized prior to deformation. The grain structure is analyzed at incremental strains during deformation for each starting material state. This knowledge will help to determine the optimal cast material structure that will enable structural components upon forging. |
