Abstract

Three- and four-point bending tests of miniature extruded bars of magnesium alloys AZ31, AZ61, AM50 and ZM21 were conducted at selected orientations relative to the extrusion direction. Four-point bending was designed to give a plane strain state between the fixture pivots. Displacement and load data were acquired with external controller electronics and custom data acquisition software. High resolulion digital images of one surface of each specimen were recorded during deformation with a variable framing rate high speed digital camera. Post-processing of the image data with a digital image correlation algorithm resulted in strain contour maps from which the simultaneous evolution of tensile and compressive strains in both bending schemes was quantified. Bending strains were found to be sensitive to Mg alloy composition and orientation, and tensile bending data was in good agreement with uniaxial tensile tests.
