- Abstract
The torsion behavior tests on Mg-Gd-Y-Zr magnesium alloy have performed before and after liquid nitrogen cryogenic treatment (CT) by torsional test machine. The experimental results show that the torsional strength and plasticity of the alloys have been significantly improved after CT 72h and 96h, compared to untreated test specimens. The torsion angles before breakage increase with the increase of CT duration. The SEM fracture surface morphology shows that maximum shear stresses on cross section are major reason for the damage. The torsional shear stress increases from 217.1MPa to 235. 9MPa after CT 96h, increasing by about 9%; the torsion angle increases from 499.3oto 594.5oafter CT 96h, increasing by about 19%. The second precipitated phase and multi-system slip are response to the higher strength and plasticity.
