The results of the experiment indicate that the excitation current intensity of the traveling magnetic field has a great influence on the mechanical properties of the ZL205 A castings. When the excitation current intensity is 15 A, the tensile strength and elongation of ZL205 A alloy castings increase 27.2% and 67.7%, respectively, compared with those of the same alloy solidified under gravity. The improvement of mechanical properties is attributed to the decrease of micro-porosity in the alloy. Under the traveling magnetic field, the feeding pressure in the alloy melt before solidification can be enhanced due to the electromagnetic force. Moreover, the melt flow induced by the traveling magnetic field can decrease the temperature gradient. The feeding resistance will be increased because the temperature gradient decrease. So traveling magnetic field has an optimum effect on feeding.展开更多

K-values with crack angle of 90° obviously show that there is no influence of the loading condition in Mode-I. In the 45° case, K1 values are obtained within 10% errors when they are calculated by modified Dugdale model under biaxial loading. It is concluded that the modified Dugdale model is one of effective ways to evaluate stress intensity factor of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet appropriately.展开更多
