Mechanical and physical properties of magnesium alloys prepared by rotary swaging
Škraban, Tomáš ; Drozd, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Mathis, Kristián (referee)
in english For their positive influence on mechanical and physical properties of the material, methods of severe plastic deformation are popular for quite some time today. Rotary swaging is one of them. With its simplicity and productivity, it has the potential for industrial use. It is a radial swaging of rods or tubes, which results in decreasing of their diameter. Influence of this method is researched on extruded rods made of magnesium alloy AZ31. Experiments are made on five samples of different degree of swaging (different diameter). This allows to research gradual evolution of properties during the swaging. Results show significant positive influence on grain size (and microstructure in general) of originally extruded rod. During swaging there is an evolution of material texture and increase in strength.

Anisotropy of thermal expansion in magnesium materials exhibiting texture
Škraban, Tomáš ; Drozd, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Mathis, Kristián (referee)
Magnesium alloys are valued for their low density and good mechanical pro- perties. Their characteristic is the tendency to obtain a texture during processing, which together with their hcp crystal structure results in the anisotropy of some physical properties. In this work we examine the effect of the texture on the aniso- tropy of thermal expansion of the widely used AZ31 and ZE10 magnesium alloys. These alloys are in the form of thin rolled sheets and we examine them in an as-recieved state and in a condition after an annealing. The measured samples are cut out of the metal sheet in the direction of rolling and in the perpendicular direction. The measurement is carried out in the temperature range from room temperature to 400 ◦ C. Measuring of the thermal expansion of sheets is problema- tic because they can bend and devalue the measurement results. The result of this work is a confirmation of the existence of this anisotropy and its description. 1
