Characterization of the Acoustic Emission Response and Mechanical Properties of Mg Alloy with LPSO Phase

Abstract:

Mechanical properties of extruded WZ72 magnesium alloy with long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase were investigated during compression loading at room temperature and at a constant strain rate of 10^-3 s^-1. The samples of (8 x 4 x 4) mm³ were compressed along three directions with respect to the lamellar LPSO-phase: parallel (ED), perpendicular (TD) and under 45°. Concurrently with the deformation tests, the acoustic emission (AE) response of the specimens was recorded. The AE measurements revealed that both the twinning activity and the kinking of the LPSO phase significantly depend on the orientation of LPSO phase. The highest strength was observed for the sample which was compressed parallel to the LPSO phase (extrusion direction). The highest AE activity was also measured in this sample.
