Comparison between Addition of Titanium and Titanium Plus Boron to MgAZ31 on its Grain Size and its Mechanical Characteristics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnesium and its alloys are the lightest constructional available materials on earth with a maximum density of 1.78 g /cc and melting point of 650 ͦC, with good damping characteristics. Therefore; they are alloyed or micro alloyed with other elements. In this paper comparison between the addition of Ti and Ti+ B to this alloy on its grain size and its mechanical characteristics is investigated both in the cast and after direct extrusion and the obtained results are presented and discussed.
