Abstract

Fatigue tests were carried out using extruded Mg alloy AZ31 to study effect of negative load ratio on crack propagation behavior. In the tests, R ratio was changed into the negative value. When the minimum stress exceeds over the value of the compressive yield strength of the material, the rate of crack propagation accelerated suddenly due to occurrence of the twinning.
