Three-point bending behavior of a ZEK100 Mg alloy at room temperature

Cyclic deformation and anelastic behavior of ZEK100 magnesium alloy: Effect of strain ratio

“…Also, the obtained IPFs ( Fig. 2(a) and (c)) were in agreement with those reported by Aslam et al [32] and Martin et al [36] for a similar ZEK100-O alloy. However, more variations in the grain orientations could be seen on the ND-TD plane (Fig.…”

“…This alloy also exhibited superior true fracture strains (i.e., up to 60% higher than the commercial AZ31B alloy for all strain paths at all temperatures and strain rates applied [31]). It was reported that the basal texture was weakened due to the Nd addition in ZEK100 alloy, however the anisotropy in the tensile properties still remained [32]. While some limited microstructural studies on ZEK100 were reported in the literature [29,33], EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) investigations along the three different observational planes of the ZEK100 sheet, are not available to the authors' knowledge.…”

Microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of friction stir spot welded rare-earth containing ZEK100 magnesium alloy sheets

“…For example, Min and Hector et al [20] derived the forming limit diagrams for the ZEK100. Aslam and Li et al [21] studied the performance of ZEK100 sheet during a three point bending test, revealing a certain degree of anisotropy despite the weakened texture. On the other hand, Kurukuri and Worswick et al [22] studied the constitutive mechanical response of this alloy by conducting testing at different strain rates.…”

Experimental Study on Failure Mechanism of Advanced High Strength Steels in Air Bending Process

“…Figure 7 depicts the cross-sectional optical microscopy of the LD-rolling TRIP780 metal sheet under the 60° bending angle condition. In the figure, despite the outward compressive stress-induced hairline fracture on the inner region [8], the overall bendability of the metal sheet was minimally restricted. This phenomenon is attributable to a delayed crack propagation on this particular region relative to that of the tensile stress-induced outer region.…”
