On the Scatter of the Fatigue Limit of a Die-Cast Magnesium Alloy

Abstract:

In the present study, scatter behavior of fatigue limit for the die-cast magnesium alloy AM60B was investigated. Twelve fatigue limits were determined based on S-N curves obtained according to the standard fatigue test methods (that is based on the 0-2 or 0-1-2 combinations). The scatter of fatigue limit for the die-cast material was large where the values of Weibull modulus and COV were 16 and 6.8, respectively. This value of COV was in agreement with that obtained by simulated staircase method. The scatter of fatigue limit in the die-cast magnesium alloy was comparable to those in the die-cast aluminum alloy. In the die-cast materials, the fatigue limit determined based on S-N curve should be taken into account to have 6-10% of scatter from the mean value.
