In the present study, the plastic deformation of commercially available AZ31B alloy at different temperatures (300K-473K) and strain rates (0.1s<sup>-1</sup>-0.01s<sup>-1</sup>-0.001s<sup>-1</sup>) under uniaxial tensile test has been carried out. Three different sheet orientations, viz., rolling direction (RD), transverse direction (TD), and 45° to rolling direction have been used. The outcomes of the experiments have demonstrated a temperature-dependent relationship between mechanical properties such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and percentage elongation. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength has decreased by 28.58% and 31.03% respectively as temperature increased from 300 K to 473 K. At elevated temperature (473 K) the material has exhibited highest ductility (64.88%) as compare to 300 K. The hardening exponent has been found to decrease with increasing temperature. The flow stress behaviour has been predicted using work hardening models such as the Hollomon and Ludwik. Two-stage work hardening behavior has been observed at all the temperatures. According to statistical parameter comparison, Ludwik equation prediction capability of correlation coefficient (0.9959) has been found to be best in agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract


In the present study, the plastic deformation of commercially available AZ31B alloy at different temperatures (300K-473K) and strain rates (0.1s<sup>-1</sup>-0.01s<sup>-1</sup>-0.001s<sup>-1</sup>) under uniaxial tensile test has been carried out. Three different sheet orientations, viz., rolling direction (RD), transverse direction (TD), and 45° to rolling direction have been used. The outcomes of the experiments have demonstrated a temperature-dependent relationship between mechanical properties such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and percentage elongation. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength has decreased by 28.58% and 31.03% respectively as temperature increased from 300 K to 473 K. At elevated temperature (473 K) the material has exhibited highest ductility (64.88%) as compare to 300 K. The hardening exponent has been found to decrease with increasing temperature. The flow stress behaviour has been predicted using work hardening models such as the Hollomon and Ludwik. Two-stage work hardening behavior has been observed at all the temperatures. According to statistical parameter comparison, Ludwik equation prediction capability of correlation coefficient (0.9959) has been found to be best in agreement with the experimental results.
