Abstract

The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the Osaka University Joining and Welding Research Institute (JWRI) formed a collaborative partnership with Taber Extrusions, Epson, Pacific Sowa, Kurimoto, and National Material LP to domestically reproduce and scale-up military grade magnesium alloy AMX602 at the Taber Extrusion manufacturing facility in Gulfport, MS. AMX602 material was provided in the form of 38.1-mm (1.5-inch) wide bars, 101.6-mm (4-inch) wide plate, and 152.4-mm (6-in) wide plate. The ARL and the JWRI conducted mechanical analysis and dynamic impact examination to evaluate the lateral dimension scale-up of AMX602. The results were parametrically analyzed and compared to conventionally processed AZ31B-H24 and AA5083–H131. Details of the scalability of the AMX602 alloy are provided.
