Related to traditional engineering materials, magnesium alloy-based composites have the potential for automobile applications and exhibit superior specific mechanical behavior. This study aims to synthesize the magnesium alloy (AZ61) composite configured with 0 wt%, 4 wt%, 8 wt%, and 12 wt% of silicon nitride micron particles, developed through a two-step stir-casting process under an argon environment. The synthesized cast AZ61 alloy matrix and its alloy embedded with 4 wt%, 8 wt%, and 12 wt% of Si3N4 are subjected to an abrasive water jet drilling/machining (AJWM) process under varied input sources such as the diameter of the drill (D), transverse speed rate (v), and composition of AZ61 composite sample. Influences of AJWM input sources on metal removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) are calculated for identifying the optimum input source factors to attain the best output responses like maximum MRR and minimum Ra via analysis of variant (ANOVA) Taguchi route with L16 design

Over the years the vehicle population has drastically grown which increases the number of road accidents. The accident severity caused fatality and disability being reduced by introducing energy absorption materials (Crash tube). Over the years, researchers have used aluminium, magnesium, and titanium crash tubes to enhance the energy absorption characteristics during different crash scenarios. However crash tube will possess sufficient rigidity to absorb the impact force during collision but it is still challenging to identify the right material. At the same time, this paper aims to examine the energy absorption characteristics of Aluminium-Magnesium hybrid material (Al-Mg 5456) crash tube designs. Three designs were considered square, cylindrical, and hexagonal designs along with different notch designs to minimize the weight percentage of tubes. The LSDYNA results the oval notches performed better in energy absorption when compared to other designs. Hence, the present findings can

This study focuses on enhancing the corrosion resistance of AZ91D magnesium alloy, known for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio within the magnesium group. Despite its lightweight properties, the alloy's moderate corrosion and wear resistance have restricted its widespread use. To address this limitation, we explored the application of the Dow 17 process to enable hard anodizing of AZ91D magnesium alloy. Our primary objective is to investigate the impact of hard anodizing on AZ91D magnesium alloy and its potential to mitigate corrosion issues. Hard anodizing results in the formation of a robust oxide film on the alloy's surface. We posit that this oxide film can significantly reduce substrate corrosion, expanding the alloy's utility in various applications. To substantiate our claims, we conducted a comprehensive corrosion performance analysis of AZ91D magnesium alloy, with and without hard anodizing treatment. We employed advanced techniques, including potential dynamic

Magnesium alloys possess a unique combination of benefits stemming from their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and reduced density. The aforementioned attributes render them notably attractive for utilization in automotive and aeronautical sectors. Furthermore, these alloys are gaining significant interest from the industry because of their outstanding dimensional stability, excellent ability to dampen vibrations, high recyclability, and good castability. They also exhibit superior stiffness, among other attributes. Nonetheless, magnesium and its alloys face several noteworthy challenges that limit their industrial utilization. These include low resistance to deformation over time, limited stability at high temperatures, restricted malleability, poor ductility, and inadequate resistance to corrosion. This study aims to investigate the phenomenon of stress corrosion cracking in magnesium alloy when exposed to potassium chromate. Addition of Ca showed better mechanical properties. A

Magnesium and its alloys are promising engineering materials with broad potential applications in the automotive, aerospace, and biomedical fields. These materials are prized for their lightweight properties, impressive specific strength, and biocompatibility. However, their practical use is often hindered by their low wear and corrosion resistance. Despite their excellent mechanical properties, the high strength-to-weight ratio of magnesium alloys necessitates surface protection for many applications. In this particular study, we employed the plasma spraying technique to enhance the low corrosion resistance of the AZ91D magnesium alloy. We conducted a wear analysis on nine coated samples, each with a thickness of 6mm, to assess their tribological performance. To evaluate the surface morphology and microstructure of the dual-phase treated samples, we employed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The bare AZ91D magnesium alloy exhibited a microhardness value

In Penn’s Clean Energy Conversions Lab, researcher Peter Psarras and colleagues are repurposing waste from industrial mines, storing carbon pulled from the atmosphere into newly formed rock. The team sees great environmental potential in mine tailings, the sand and sludge left behind after the sought-after ore gets removed. With samples in the lab, they’re trying to determine just how much calcium and magnesium each contains, how to best carbonate it with CO2, how and where they can store the result, and whether the process is scalable

Different weight percentages (0, 1 and 2 wt. %) of Calcium hexaboride (CaB6) is reinforced with pure magnesium and the composite is fabricated through powder metallurgy technique. The fabricated samples are used for the tribological evaluation. In this connection, the Taguchi optimization technique (L27 Orthogonal array) assisted Grey Relational analysis is used for predicting the significant factors to the tribological evaluation. The magnesium composite wear rate is evaluated by Archard’s mass loss method. Based on the obtained results, it is observed that the magnesium composite wear rate is increased by the effect of an increase in load. It was arising as a result of enhanced delamination wear mechanism which is confirmed by SEM observation on the worn-out pin surface

Magnesium is sought to be one of the futuristic material in automotive due to its superior properties such as density, strength to weight ratio, damping characteristics and thus, making it a key enabler for light weighting. The properties of Magnesium alloys can be widely altered by change in elemental composition and heat treatment. Analysis of composition and phase morphology are driving factors for determining component’s end use properties and can be utilized effectively in its product development cycle. The as-cast AZ series alloys develop microstructure consisting of α-Mg matrix, eutectic α-Mg/γ-Mg17Al12 phase with non-uniform Al solute content in the α-Mg. Solutionising causes dissolution of Mg17Al12 brittle phase thereby increasing strength and ductility in these alloys. This paper presents analysis of AZ series automotive alloy components with focus on microstructure and mechanical properties change after solutionising.

Most of the applications of magnesium in lightweighting commercial cars and trucks are die castings rather than sheet metal, and automotive applications of magnesium sheet have typically been experimental or low-volume serial production. The overarching objective of this collaborative research project organized by the United States Automotive Materials Partnership (USAMP) was to develop new low-cost magnesium alloys, and demonstrate warm-stamping of magnesium sheet inner and outer door panels for a 2013 MY Ford Fusion at a fully accounted integrated component cost increase over conventional steel stamped components of no more than $2.50/lb. saved ($5.50/kg saved). The project demonstrated the computational design of new magnesium (Mg) alloys from atomistic levels, cast new experimental alloy ingots and explored thermomechanical rolling processes to produce thin Mg sheet of desired textures. A new commercial Mg alloy sheet material was sourced and pretreated with protective coil

Padded self-piercing riveting (P-SPR) is a newly developed multi-material joining technology to enable less ductile materials to be joined by self-piercing riveting (SPR) without cracking. A deformable and disposable pad was employed to reduce the stress distribution on the bottom surface by supporting the whole bottom sheet continuously during rivet setting process. To verify the P-SPR process, 2.0mm thick 6061-T6 wrought aluminum was joined with 3.2mm thick coated AM60B magnesium high pressure die casting (HPDC) by using 1.0mm thick dual-phase 600 (DP600) steel as the pad. Regular SPR processes with 2 different die geometries were studied as a comparison. Compared to the regular SPR processes, P-SPR demonstrated advantages on coating protection, crack mitigation and joint strength
