Germanium is an element which is used in metallurgy in a very small extent. Much more significant is its use as a semiconductor material. Most of magnesium alloys are usually used for applications at ambient temperature. The significant decrease in mechanical properties is observed already at the temperature higher than 150°C. This is the reason for the effort to prepare a new low-priced magnesium based alloys with improved mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, e.g. for components of combustion engines. Therefore, new unconventional alloying elements are studied for increase the thermal stability of magnesium alloys. The effect of germanium on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-Ge alloys at ambient and elevated temperatures was studied in this paper.

Experimental investigation on the formability limits of aluminum and magnesium alloys are conducted through hydraulic bulging and deep drawing. New tube hydroforming tooling was designed and the submerged tool concept is introduced. Tube hydroforming experiments were conducted with and without axial feed by using AA6061 tubes. The formability of Mg AZ31-O sheets are determined by hydraulic bulging using similar submerged tool. Finally the effect of temperature and initial blank size on the attainable highest punch velocity is investigated and round cups from Mg AZ31-O were successfully formed in a heated tool with punch speeds up to 300 mm/s.

Aluminum And Magnesium Alloys

The use of new materials, e.g. aluminum and magnesium alloys, in the automotive and aviation sector is becoming increasingly important to reach the global aim of reduced emissions. Especially magnesium alloys with their low density offer great potential for lightweight design. However, magnesium alloys are almost exclusively formable at elevated temperatures. Therefore, material characterization methods need to be developed for determining the mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. In particular, cyclic tests at elevated temperatures are required to identify the isotropic-kinematic hardening behavior, which is important for numerically modeling the springback behavior. In this contribution, a characterization method for determining the cyclic behavior of the magnesium alloy AZ31B at an elevated temperature of 200 °C is presented. The setup consists of a miniaturized tensile specimen and stabilization plates to prevent buckling under compressive load. The temperature in the relevant area is introduced with the help of conductive heating. Moreover, the complex kinematic model according to Chaboche and Rousselier is identified, to map the transient hardening behavior of AZ31B after load reversal, which cannot be modeled with a single Bauschinger coefficient.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of AM50+xTi (x=0,0.01,0.1wt%) magnesium alloys extruded from as-cast and solution treated conditions have been studied. Results show that Ti element obviously refines the microstructure of AM50 magnesium alloy and Mg17Al12 phase. Only 0.01 wt% Ti addition can make the Mg17Al12 phase turn into particles and small rod-like shape. Ti addition improves tensile strength at room temperature, and obviously improves elongation at elevated temperatures up to 200°C. The AM50+xTi alloys extruded from as-cast have better tensile strength at room temperature and better elongation at 100°C, 150°C and 200°C than that of AM50+xTi alloys extruded from solution treatment; The plasticity of AM50 magnesium alloys increases with Ti content increasing and temperature increasing for the tensile fractograph.

Magnesium alloys containing rare earth elements offer excellent strength at room temperature as well as at elevated temperatures and are distinguished by a high ignition-resistance. However, with regard to cost efficiency and the conversation of resources, these alloys are not suitable for commercial industrial applications. Therefore, the research project SubSEEMag at the Institute of Metal Forming/Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg focusses on the development of alternative alloy compositions, which meet the requirements on materials properties of magnesium alloys for industrial applications and production costs. Several magnesium alloys containing zinc, aluminum, manganese and calcium were poured in cylindrical molds at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht. The characterization of the as-cast condition was carried out by light and scanning electron microscopy. Phase compositions were determined using EDX analysis. The Mg alloys were homogenized at different temperatures. Afterwards, hot rolling to a final thickness of 2.7 mm was conducted. The influence of temperature and time of the annealing on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the hot rolled condition have been investigated. The results were discussed in comparison to commercial available Mg-RE alloys.

Weight reduction is one of the major goals in the automotive, appliance, and electronics industries. One way of achieving this goal is to use lightweight alloys such as aluminum and magnesium that have high strength to weight ratios. However, due to their limited formability at room temperature, forming needs to take place at elevated temperatures and mostly under nonisothermal conditions. In this study, nonisothermal deep drawing process using aluminum and magnesium alloys was investigated using a servo motor driven press and a heated tool set. Using the flexibility of the servo press kinematics, blanks were heated in the tool set prior to forming. Temperature-time measurements were made at various blank holder interface pressures in order to determine the required dwell time to heat the blank to the forming temperature. Several lubricants for elevated temperature forming were evaluated using the deep draw test, and a PTFE based film was found to be the best performing lubricant. Deep drawing tests were conducted to determine the process window (maximum punch velocity as functions of blank size and temperature) for Al 5754-O and Mg AZ31-O. Maximum punch velocities of 35 mm/s and 300 mm/s were obtained for the Al and Mg alloys, respectively. Comparisons for the Mg alloy sheets from two different suppliers were made and significant differences in formability were found. Experiments were conducted in order to understand the effect of constant and variable punch velocity and the temperature on the mechanics of deformation. Variable punch velocity is found to improve the thickness distribution of the formed part.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.
