MagForge – Mechanical Behaviour of Forged AZ31B Extruded Magnesium in Monotonic Compression

Article Preview

Abstract:

Monotonic compression testing was conducted on AZ31B-F magnesium alloy in both the as-received and forged conditions. Sigmoidal stress strain behaviour was the key feature in the majority of material conditions and directions corresponding to plastic behaviour where twinning de-twinning is the dominant deformation mechanism. More conventional monotonic hardening (slip deformation mechanism) was exhibited in certain material directions which initially were orthogonal to the extrusion direction in the as-received condition, but once forged are coincident with the direction of forging once forged. It was shown that in the forged condition, there is potential for significant increases in both ultimate tensile strength as well as strain to failure.
