Fatigue Behavior of Extruded Mg-Al-Ca-Mn Alloy with T6 Treatment at Elevated Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fatigue behavior of Mg-Al-Ca-Mn alloy with T6 treatment was studied at room temperature and 150°C by conduction rotating bending fatigue test. Fatigue strength at high temperature was lower than that at room temperature in the alloys with and without heat treatment. However, degradation of fatigue strength at high temperature in the T6 treated alloy was not significant compared to the as-extruded alloy. Fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior was observed with replication technique by conducting interrupted fatigue test at room temperature and 150°C. Multiple cracking was significantly observed at 150°C in both as-received and T6 treated alloys. Change in grain size and randomization of crystal orientation due to the heat treatment could affect the fatigue property.
