Mechanical Characterization And Fracture Behavior Of Magnesium Zk60a Alloy (Uns M16600), Mohamed Kamal I. H. Temraz

Theses

This research work focuses on studying the mechanical and fracture behavior of one of magnesium ZK60A (UNS M16600) extrusion. The material has many industrial applications and its characteristic should be measured for proper component or system design. Several tests were conducted following the standard procedures to determine the mechanical characteristics of the material. In addition, the fracture toughness of the material has been measured using the fracture toughness-thickness curve. A stress intensity factor K was used as a fracture parameter to determine the plane strain fracture toughness KIC of ZK60A magnesium alloy using a single edge notch bend (SENB) specimen …
