Abstract
Magnetic magnesium alloys have inherent magnetic properties due to the alloying element cobalt. Thus, the entire structural component made from such an alloy can be utilized for mechanical load measurements using the harmonic analysis of eddy current signals. Because the solubility of cobalt in the magnesium matrix is negligible, the magnetic properties mainly originate from cobalt-rich precipitates. Both the mechanical properties and the magnetic properties are influenced significantly by other alloying elements, such as zinc, as well as the material’s microstructure. Two issues of the ternary magnetic magnesium alloy Mg-Co4-Zn2 are described in this study. The magnetic properties were characterized by using the magnetoelastic effect and the harmonic analysis of eddy current signals. In addition, the mechanical properties of specimens made from the extruded profiles were determined using tensile and rotating bending tests. A substantial dependence on the processing conditions was observed both for the mechanical and magnetic properties.
