Failure of Magnesium Sheets Under Monotonic Loading: 3D Examination of Fracture Mode and Mechanisms

Abstract: Abstract. Damage evolution in a commercial magnesium sheet alloy (Mg-3Al-1Zn-0.3Mn) at room temperature is investigated. Kahn tear tests were performed to characterize the crack extension behaviour. Scanning electron microscopy of the fracture surfaces revealed flat inclined areas and the absence of cracked particles and dimples. Post-mortem synchrotron tomography of a stopped crack was used to further identify the predominant damage mechanism in the specimen's ligament. Nucleation of submicrometre-voids, a mi… Show more

“…The presence of several crossing strained bands was clearly the origin of the zigzagging crack near the notch root. This phenomenon has been found in dierent engineering materials [52,38]. There is one damage feature indicated by an arrow that was always present on the main strained band.…”

“…The void reorientation happens at late stages of loading, indicating that up to that point plasticity controls the failure process. Other, less ductile materials, such as magnesium alloys, may show slant fracture without micrometric voids at all [46]. It would be interesting to investigate numerically what the contribution of these sheared voids in a localization band to the overall strength is.…”

“…As all tested products show a (more the less pronounced) basal texture, this effect is present in rolled and extruded products of both alloys. The absence of prismatic slip causes an early failure of the material by shear separation on inclined planes (Steglich and Morgeneyer 2013). It is worth to mention that this type of biaxial hardening cannot be described by a plasticity law based on the von Mises yield criterion.…”
