Abstract:Low temperature mechanical properties of AZ91D magnesium alloy fabricated by solid recycling process from recycled scraps were studied. Various microstructural analyses were performed using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The recycled specimens consist of fine grains due to dynamic recrystallization and the interfaces of original individual scraps are not identified. Tensile tests were performed at a strain rate of 5×10−3 s−1 at room temperature (27 °C), −70, −100 and −130 °C, respectively. Ultimate tensile strength of the specimens increases slightly with decreasing the tensile temperature, and elongation to failure decreases with decreasing the tensile temperature. The tensile specimens at −130 °C show the highest ultimate tensile strength of 360.65 MPa and the lowest elongation to failure of 5.46%. Impact tests were performed at room temperature (27 °C), −70 and −130 °C, respectively. Impact toughness decreases with decreasing the impact temperature. The impact specimens at −130 °C show the lowest impact toughness of 3.06 J/cm2.
Key words: AZ91D magnesium alloy; solid recycling process; mechanical property; impact toughness
