Dynamic Testing at High Strain Rates of AZ31 Magnesium Alloys on SHPB Equipment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The mechanical behaviour of as-cast AZ31 Mg alloy has been investigated at strain rates up to 2.0×103s-1. Dynamic tests were carried out at room temperature using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus. Microstructural characteristic were analysed by Image MAT A1 optical microscopy. The results demonstrated that AZ31 Mg alloy exhibited obvious yield phenomena and strain hardening behaviour at high strain rates. The basically same curvature of stress-strain curves exhibited an similar strain hardening rate. The dynamic yield strength changes little and the peak stress increases with the strain rates. An examination by optical microscopy after high strain rate deformation reveals the occurrence of twinning and twin area percentage increases with the strain rate increasing.
