Mathematical Description of Semi-Solid Magnesium Alloys Behaviour by Using Rheological Models

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is a study of rheological analysis of magnesium alloys of groups Mg-Zn-Al and Mg-Zn-RE. It presents the results of high-temperature measurements of magnesium alloys, along with rheological analysis of their behaviour. Magnesium alloys are a very attractive material, due to their light weight and good plastic properties; on the other hand this material is very reactive in a liquid (semi-solid) state, which is challenging from a testing and forming perspective. The findings obtained were compared with five types of rheological models describing rheological characteristics of viscous systems. The analysis was carried out using Rheoplus software. As a result of the conducted work, the mathematical descriptions which are best for characterising rheological behaviour of semi-solid magnesium alloys containing 20% of the solid phase have been proposed.
