CREEP AND TENSILE PROPERTIES OF MAGNESIUM ALLOY AZ61 AT 50 C

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4265796

The creep properties of magnesium alloy AZ61 in the as-extruded condition were determined at 5O C and several stresses between 10,000 psi and 35,000 psi. Samples were cut transversely and longitudinally from extruded tube, and longitudinally from extruded rod. Extrapolation of minimum creep rates indicates that at 5O C the requirement of a secondary creep rate less than 1 x 10/sup -5%//hr is met by the alloy at 10,000 psi. The transverse ultimate tensile strength of the tube at 50 C was found to be 34,800 psi; this limits the allowable working stress to 8,700 psi. (auth)
