Magnesium alloys of AZ31, AZ31 + (0.5, 1, 1.5)wt.% CaO were cast, hot rolled, and oxidized between 450 and $650^{\circ}C$ in atmospheric air. The added CaO enabled to cast the AZ31 alloy in air. It decomposed and precipitated along the grain boundaries of the AZ31 alloy as $Al_2Ca$. The more the amount of CaO was, the more $Al_2Ca$ formed. The oxidation limit was about $450^{\circ}C$ for the AZ31 alloy. But, It increased to $650^{\circ}C$ in the CaO-added alloys. Hot rolling destroyed the precipitates that formed along the grain boundaries of the AZ31 alloy. During oxidation, MgO oxide scales that incorporated CaO formed at the outer surface of the formed oxide layer.

The springback characteristics of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet was investigated in OSU draw/bend test. Springback is the elastically-driven change of shape of a part after forming and it should be estimated and controlled to manufacture more precise products in sheet forming. The demands are increasing for magnesium alloy sheet press forming, but the study on its springback characteristics is insufficient. Strip draw/bend tests were conducted with various conditions - die radius, sheet thickness and controlled tensile force. The springback angles were measured from 'sidewall curl' of deformed shape. The tendency of springback angle was observed from the tests.

The transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding was used to fabricate autogenous joints in a magnesium alloy AZ31 with the aid of a pure Ni interlayer. A $13{\mu}m$ thick pure Ni foil was used in order to form a Mg-Ni eutectic liquid at the joint interface. The interface of reaction and composition profiles were investigated as a function of bonding time using a pressure of 0.16 MPa and a bonding temperature of $515^{\circ}C$. The quality of the joints produced was examined by metallurgical characterization and the joint microstructure developed across the diffusion bonds was related to changes in mechanical properties as a function of the bonding time.

본 연구에서는 유한요소법과 변형률 의존성 연성파괴이론을 이용하여 드로잉 공정에서의 AZ31 마그네슘 합금 판재의 파단 발생을 예측 하였다. 다양한 온도에서의 사각컵 드로잉 실험을 수행하여, 각 온도조건에서의 파단깊이를 측정하였으며, 고온 인장시험을 통해 연성파괴상수를 온도 및 변형률 속도에 의존적인 값으로 표현하고, 실험과 동일하게 모사된 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 얻어진 각 요소의 온도 및 변형률 속도에 따른 연성파괴상수를 이용하여 파단발생을 예측하였으며, 실험결과와 검증하였다.

The material used is a commercial magnesium based alloy AZ31(Mg-3Al-1Zn)sheet with a thickness of 1.0mm. Uniaxial tension tests at warm temperature were carried out to investigate the material characteristics of K, m, and n. A warm drawing process with a local heating and cooling technique was developed to improve formability in this study with results of uniaxial tension tests because it is very difficult for Mg alloy to deform at room temperature by the conventional method. The die and blank holder were heated up, while the punch was water-cooled during deformation. FE simulations considering heat transfer were executed with Mg alloy to investigate the Improvement of deep drawability. For the assessment of improvement those were compare with the results of no considering heat transfer and room temperature.

The variables relating to the fatigue behavior have uncertainty and are random. The fatigue crack propagation is, thus, stochastic in nature. In this study, fatigue experiments are performed on the specimen of the magnesium alloy AZ31. The data of the fatigue life are scattered even in the same experimental condition. It is necessary to determine the probability distribution of the fatigue crack propagation life for the reliability analysis as well as the design and maintenance of structural components. Therefore the statistics and the probability distribution for the fatigue crack propagation life are investigated and the best fit probability distribution of that is proposed in this paper.
