Mechanical Properties of ECAP Processed Magnesium Alloy AS21X
AI summary Read the abstract
Magnesium alloys normally exhibit microplastic behavior at low stresses, limiting their use in precision applications; this study tested whether equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) grain refinement could extend the elastic range of the AS21X alloy. Cyclic tensile tests confirmed that ECAP-processed samples showed improved microplastic resistance compared to conventional grain size material.
Typically, magnesium alloys with conventional grain size exhibit microplastic behaviour already at low stresses. This behaviour restricts the technological utilization of these materials. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ECAP can be applied to enlarge the elastic range of AS21X. Cyclic tensile tests at room temperature were carried out to examine the effect of the ECAP induced grain refinement on the elastic properties. The results obtained are compared with the cyclic behaviour of conventional, coarse-grained AS21X. The differences in mechanical properties between the two conditions are discussed.

Modelling microplastic flow in an hpdc Mg-Al alloy
AI summary Read the abstract
This study used a numerical micromechanical model to simulate how microplastic flow (microscale yielding) develops across the cross section of a cast magnesium-aluminum tensile specimen, showing that a softer core yields first and progressively transfers load to a harder outer skin. The model helps predict early deformation in lightweight cast metal components used in automotive and aerospace applications.
