Effect of strain ratio on cyclic deformation and fatigue of extruded AZ61A magnesium alloy
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Strain-controlled fatigue experiments were conducted on an extruded AZ61A magnesium alloy at three strain ratios (Rɛ = −∞, −1, 0) using smooth tubular specimens. As the strain ratio decreased, stronger cyclic hardening, more asymmetric hysteresis loop, smaller stress amplitude, lower mean stress, and higher initial plastic strain amplitude were observed. These phenomena were associated with twinning in the compressive phase and detwinning in the tensile phase during cyclic deformation. At the same strain amplitude, fatigue life increased with decreasing strain ratio. The strain-fatigue life curve at each strain ratio exhibited a distinguishable kink. Such a kink point represents a demarcation point above which persistent twinning–detwinning occurs under cyclic loading. Two Smith, Watson, and Topper (SWT) fatigue criteria can predict the fatigue lives of the material at all strain ratios satisfactorily.
