Ductility Prediction for Complex Magnesium Alloy Castings Using Quality Mapping

  • 1080 Accesses

Abstract

In this work, quality mapping (QM) approach was developed to predict the ductility for complex magnesium high pressure die castings. Carefully controlled casting experiments were conducted under 8 different casting conditions and the mechanical properties were experimentally determined at different locations in complex magnesium casting. Each processing condition was simulated using the MAGMAsoft and the simulation results were determined from each location. QM was established to predict the mean ductility and statistic variation in AM60 Magnesium casting.
