The analysis of the plastic deformation of two-layered magnesium – aluminium alloys (AZ31 – Al)
Abstract
The paper presents the results of physical modelling of the plastic deformation of the two-layered AZ31 - Al alloys. The AZ31 - Al feedstock was produced using the diffusion bonding method. Heating under pressure led to the formation of a continuous layer of the intermetallic phases at the bond interface of AZ31 - Al. A compression test was used to determine the plastic deformation of the two-layered AZ31 - Al alloys. Based on the analysis of the investigation results it has been found that, as the strain rate decreases and temperature increases, the intermetallic phase yields, and a distinct thinning of the intermetallic phase layer has occurred in the zone directly affected by the anvil.
