Role of crystal orientation in the dynamic strength of magnesium alloy AZ31B

The effect of grain orientation distribution on the dynamic strength of highly textured magnesium alloy AZ31B has been studied in a series of plate-impact experiments. Specimens with thicknesses between 0.45 mm and 2 mm were cut parallel and perpendicular to the material extrusion direction and shoc...

description The effect of grain orientation distribution on the dynamic strength of highly textured magnesium alloy AZ31B has been studied in a series of plate-impact experiments. Specimens with thicknesses between 0.45 mm and 2 mm were cut parallel and perpendicular to the material extrusion direction and shock loaded to impact stresses between 1.4 GPa and 3.4 GPa. The dynamic strength is found to be highly dependent on the loading direction, with loading along the extrusion direction exhibiting significantly higher Hugoniot elastic limits than the transverse direction, including a much slower precursor decay rate. Application of an orientation-based analysis framework shows that the yield point of the polycrystalline material can be predicted reasonably well from its grain orientation distribution, predicated upon the use of dynamic critical resolved shear stress values from single-crystal data modified by a fitted strengthening factor. It is shown that the strong dependence on loading orientation in Mg AZ31 is caused by the relative differences in slip system activity and the slip anisotropies inherent to the hexagonal close packed crystal structure.
