Abstract:
AZ31B magnesium alloy is the experimental material in this study. Considering its anisotropy, fatigue assessment based on self-heating is carried out for both the extrusion direction and the transverse direction. The self-heating behavior in the two orientations is compared. Similar to steels, an obvious inflection point that corresponds to the fatigue limit can be found in the self-heating vs. load curve for AZ31B. A new fatigue limit assessment method is proposed based on a statistical analysis of self-heating data. This method can provide a satisfactory assessment of the fatigue limit for AZ31B in the both orientations.
