Fatigue lifetime of AZ91 magnesium alloy subjected to cyclic thermal and mechanical loadings
Highlights Thermo-mechanical and low cycle fatigue behaviors of AZ91+RE-T6 were studied. Cyclic hardening behavior occurred at room temperature under fatigue loadings. HT-LCF lifetime was higher than RT-LCF lifetime due to ageing phenomenon. OP-TMF lifetime was less than LCF lifetime due to severe loading conditions. Cumulative plastic strain energy was a proper model to predict fatigue lifetime.
Abstract In the present paper, thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) and low cycle fatigue (LCF) or isothermal fatigue (IF) lifetimes of a cast magnesium alloy (the AZ91 alloy) were studied. In addition to a heat treatment process (T6), several rare elements were added to the alloy to improve the material strength in the first step. Then, the cyclic behavior of the AZ91 was investigated. For this objective, strain-controlled tension–compression fatigue tests were carried out. The temperature varied between 50 and 200°C in the out-of-phase (OP) TMF tests. The constraint factor which was defined as the ratio of the mechanical strain to the thermal strain, was set to 75%, 100% and 125%. For LCF tests, mechanical strain amplitudes of 0.20%, 0.25% and 0.30% were considered at constant temperatures of 25 and 200°C. Experimental fatigue results showed that the cyclic hardening behavior occurred at the room temperature in the AZ91 alloy. At higher temperatures, this alloy had a brittle fracture. But also, it was not significantly clear that the cyclic hardening or the cyclic softening behavior would be occurred in the material. Then, the high temperature LCF lifetime was more than that at the room temperature. The OP-TMF lifetime was the least value in comparison to that of LCF tests. At the end of this article, two energy-based models were applied to predict the fatigue lifetime of this magnesium alloy.
