  1. 1. Effect of Trace Elements on the Particle Size of Magnesium Silicide in Aluminium Extrusion : The Use of Thermo-Calc and DICTRA in order to Produce Aluminium more Efficiently

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Gustav Boustedt; Johan Alexander Valentin Nygren; Gustav Strandgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermo-Calc; DICTRA; simulations; EN AW 6082; extrusion; particle precipitation; Mg2Si; sustainable; trace elements; aluminium;

    Abstract : This project is a feasibility study for Hydro Extrusion Sweden AB, a company that produces extruded aluminium profiles. The main purpose of this project was to analyse the difference of Mg2Si particle sizes in aluminium alloys when varying parameters, such as cooling rate and composition, in aluminium extrusion, particularly the EN AW 6082 alloy.

    Abstract : Copper and copper alloys are important material systems for the electrification of society. The high workability of the materials makes them appropriate in numerous different applications which require highly conductive properties. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dependence of Degradation Mechanisms in Magnesium Alloys on Grain Orientation and Interfaces in 3D

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Materialteknik

    Author : Johan Ranstad; [2023]
    Keywords : Mg-Zn alloys; Diffraction contrast tomography; Isothermal Calorimetry; Immersion testing; Corrosion Rate; Microgalvanic coupling.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Magnesium alloys are promising candidates as biomedical implants. However, a good understanding of their degradation processes is lacking. In this work, degradation in two magnesium alloys were studied in a simple physiological-fluid electrolyte of H2O+0.9wt%NaCl, Mg-5wt%Zn (Z5) & Mg-5wt%Zn-0. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mechanical properties of WE43 : Finding optimized process parameters using PBF-LB for enhanced properties of the magnesium alloy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Fanny Saarela; Fanny Sandblad; [2022]
    Keywords : biomedical engineering; materials science; additive manufacturing; powder bed fusion laser beam; PBF-LB; magnesium; magnesium alloys; WE43; mechanical properties; scan strategy; layer rotation; build direction; build orientation;

    Abstract : When skeletal fractures are too extensive for fixation with plates and screws, autografts are the most used technique for treating this. Within the biomedical field the interest in biodegradable implants made from additive manufacturing have increased. Magnesium alloys has also gained interest because of its favorable mechanical properties.. READ MORE

  6. 5. In vitro study of Biodegradation in Mg-alloys by Isothermal Calorimetry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell Produktion

    Author : Prasad Rajendra Kekare; Akshat Kulkarni; [2021]
    Keywords : Isothermal Calorimetry; Degradation of Mg Alloys; Supersaturated solid solution SSSS ; Corrosion rate; Aqueous corrosion.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Magnesium corrosion in an aqueous environment is a multi-layer, complex process. A literature survey shows significant gaps and the modelling work reported indicates a lack of clarity in understanding the corrosion process. READ MORE
