Original abstract

This paper deals with influence of microstructure of magnesium alloy AZ91 on its mechanical properties. Tensile characteristics and microstructures of cast and extruded alloy, and both of these alloys after equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), were compared. It was found that tensile properties are not determined only by grain size but another aspect plays an important role because the highest values of σ0.2 proof stress and tensile strength were achieved for extruded alloy despite its higher average grain size compared to both ECAPed alloys. Compared to this, microhardness seems to be related only to grain size.

Czech abstract

Tento článek se zabývá vlivem mikrostruktury hořčíkové slitiny AZ91 na její mechanické vlastnosti. Byly porovnávány mikrostruktury a vlastnosti této slitiny ve čtyřech různých stavech: litém, extrudovaném a oba tyto stavy po následném ECAPu (equal channel angular pressing). Bylo zjištěno, že nejvyšší hodnoty smluvní meze kluzu σ0,2 je dosaženo u slitiny v extrudovaném stavu, přestože její veliost zrna byla vyšší než u obou ECAPovaných slitin, tudíž tahové vlastnosti nejsou dány pouze velikostí zrna ale velkou roli hrají i další aspekty. Oproti tomu byla mikrotvrdost závislá pouze na velikosti zrna.
