  • Improving the Performance of Magnesium Alloys for Automotive Applications
    High Performance and Optimum Design of Structures and Materials 531 Improving the performance of magnesium alloys for automotive applications R. O. Hussein & D. O. Northwood Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering, University of Windsor, Canada Abstract Magnesium and its alloys are attractive to the automotive industry for their inherent light-weight which leads to highly fuel-efficient design. However, due to a low melting temperature (650°C), magnesium has relatively poor elevated temperature mechanical properties, e.g., creep. This has, therefore, restricted its use in applications such as engine components. Magnesium is also a highly reactive metal and has inherently poor corrosion and wear resistance. Improved corrosion and wear performance can be obtained through alloying and microstructural engineering. However, for enhanced corrosion and tribological properties, the use of surface engineering techniques involving coatings is mandatory. Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO), also known as “Micro-Arc Oxidation (MAO)”, has been used to successfully produce oxide layers on magnesium alloys with excellent tribological and corrosion resistant properties. By controlling the PEO process parameters, uniform, relatively pore-free and well adhered coatings can be produced which can provide adequate corrosion protection. The coating requirements for good tribological properties are somewhat different than for good corrosion performance. However, good tribological performance combined with good corrosion performance can

  • Magnesium Casting Technology for Structural Applications
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Journal of Magnesium and Alloys 1 (2013) 2e22 www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-magnesium-and-alloys/2213-9567 Full length article Magnesium casting technology for structural applications Alan A. Luo a,b,* a Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA b Department of Integrated Systems Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA Abstract This paper summarizes the melting and casting processes for magnesium alloys. It also reviews the historical development of magnesium castings and their structural uses in the western world since 1921 when Dow began producing magnesium pistons. Magnesium casting technology was well developed during and after World War II, both in gravity sand and permanent mold casting as well as high-pressure die casting, for aerospace, defense and automotive applications. In the last 20 years, most of the development has been focused on thin-wall die casting ap- plications in the automotive industry, taking advantages of the excellent castability of modern magnesium alloys. Recently, the continued expansion of magnesium casting applications into automotive, defense, aerospace, electronics and power tools has led to the diversification of casting processes into vacuum die casting, low-pressure die casting, squeeze casting, lost foam casting, ablation casting as well as semi-solid casting. This paper will also review the historical, current and potential structural use of magnesium with a focus on automotive applications. The technical challenges of magnesium structural applications are also discussed. Increasing worldwide energy demand, environment protection and government regulations will stimulate more applications of lightweight magnesium castings in the next few decades.

The synthesis of lithium sulfide-carbon (Li2S-C) composite by carbothermic reduction of lithium sulfate (Li2SO4) is investigated in this study. The relationship between reaction temperature and the consumption of carbon in the carbothermic reduction of Li2SO4 is first investigated to precisely control the carbon content in the resultant Li2S-C composites. To understand the relationship between the material structure and the electrochemical properties, Li2S-C composites with the same carbon content are subsequently synthesized by controlling the mass ratio of Li2SO4/carbon and the reaction temperature. Systematic electrochemical analyses and microscopic characterizations Edited by: demonstrate that the size of the Li S particles dispersed in the carbon matrix is the key Wen Liu, 2 Beijing University of Chemical parameter determining the electrochemical performance.

Received: 30 October 2018; Accepted: 15 November 2018; Published: 20 November 2018 Abstract: Effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the AZ31/WE43 bimetal composites was investigated, and the optimized solution treatment and ageing treatment parameters were achieved. After heat treatment, it was found that that the high melting-point Y-rich phases and Mg-RE (rare earth) phases at the interface were distributed more uniformly, so the interfacial strength and plasticity were improved. Meanwhile, the shear strength and plasticity of AZ31 were increased, and the shear strength of WE43 was also improved by heat treatment. The evolution of interface morphologies and enhancement of the mechanical properties at the interface will be discussed in detail. Keywords: Mg/Mg bimetal composites; heat treatment; interfacial microstructure; mechanical properties; fracture behaviors 1. Introduction Magnesium alloys are becoming increasingly attractive for potential applications in aerospace, automobile, and electronics, due to the advantages of light weight, high specific strength, and high specific stiffness [1–3].

    Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences ISSN: 0974-2115 Friction Stir Processing of Magnesium Alloys- Review J.P. Lalith Gnanavel, S. Vijayan Department of Mechanical Engineering, SSN College of Engineering, Kalavakkam-603 110 Corresponding author: E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Recently, Friction stir processing (FSP) is one of the solid state surface processing techniques used to produce surface composites. The FSP which doesn’t affects the bulk properties of the material but improves the surface properties of the material concern such as hardness, strength, ductility, corrosion resistance and formability etc. Magnesium alloy is one among the major raw materials used due to their low density and high strength-to-weight ratio. Alloys of magnesium are processed successful by FSP which are difficult by other processes. The review offers better understanding of Friction Stir Processed alloys of Magnesium. This article reviews the various mechanical and metallurgical properties along with analysis of microstructure on different magnesium alloys and FSP magnesium alloys for better understandings. KE YWORDS: Magnesium Alloys, Friction Stir Processing (FSP), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Mechanical properties, Microstructure, Hardness, Wear properties. 1. INTRODUCTION Magnesium alloys: Magnesium with mixture of other metals is called as magnesium alloys. The major alloying elements are aluminium, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper, rare earths and zirconium. Magnesium alloys have a hexagonal lattice structure and is the lightest structural metal Cast alloys of magnesium are used in components of automobiles, bodies of camera and lenses. Heat treatment is used to harden alloys of magnesium containing 0.5% to 3% zinc. Sand castings mostly use alloys AZ92 and AZ63, die castings use AZ91 magnesium alloy and permanent mold castings generally use AZ92 alloy.
