キーワード | Mg-RE alloy / Very high cycle fatigue / Crack initiation / Oxidation / Oxygen embrittlement |
研究実績の概要 |
We investigated the very high cycle fatigue behavior of a Mg alloy with long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase. Fatigue fracture and damage observation revealed that microcracks nucleate from the thick alpha-Mg layers, away from the dense LPSO lamellae. Notably, microcrack nucleation was observed inside the localized oxides. This investigation highlights the critical role of highly localized oxide thickening, orders of magnitude thicker than native oxide, in the process of microcrack nucleation. The proposed model reaffirms the importance of the extrusion/intrusion process, but more importantly highlights a mechanism in which fatigue-induced oxidation results in the embrittlement of the extrusion/intrusion structure, which in turn affects the nucleation of microcracks.

理由
As planned, macroscopic fatigue strength and damage evolution investigation have been conducted on the Mg/LPSO alloy after solution hot treatment. The results obtained have been submitted to the journal of Scripta Materialia. Further research will be conducted to investigate the plastic localization according to the hierarchical anisotropic nanostructures during fatigue crack nucleation, as well as the microstructural mechanisms involved in the early propagation of microcracks. On the whole, we have achieved the research goals set up for FY2022, and the progress of the project was partially advanced.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
T-EBSD and AC-STEM will be utilized to investigate the impact of the hierarchical anisotropic nanostructures and the aging heat treatment on the mechanism of microcrack nucleation, especially fatigue-induced oxidation process. By identifying critical microstructure configurations, we will establish a correlation between the configurations and the mechanism of microcrack nucleation. This, in turn, will provide novel insights into the design of microstructures that can enhance the fatigue damage resistance of Mg-RE alloys.
