Original abstract

Microstructure, mechanical properties, cyclic plastic deformation behavior and fatigue strength of ultrafine-grained (UFG) magnesium alloy AZ91 processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) were investigated. ECAP of originally cast alloy results in development of bimodal structure, improved yield stress, tensile strength and ductility when compared to the as-cast state. Endurance limit based on 107 cycles is also improved, however exhibits large scatter. Initiation of fatigue cracks takes place in regions of large grains in the bimodal structure, where the content of Mg17Al12 particles is low.

V rámci práce byla zkoumána mikrostrukturam cyklické plastické chování a únavová pevnost ultrajemnozrnné (UFG) hořčíkové slitiny AZ91 připravené procesem ECAP. Bezkontrakční protlačování (ECAP) slitiny, která byla dodána ve stavu litém vedla ke vzniku bimodální struktury, zvýšení meze kluzu, meze pevnosti a tažnosti ve srovnání s dodaným litým stavem. Mez únavy stanovená na hladině 1E7 cyklů je také posunuta k vyšším hodnotám, nicméně vykazuje větší rozptyl hodnot. Únavové porušení iniciuje v oblastech velkých zrn bimodální struktury, kde je nízký obsah částic Mg17Al12.
