WEIBULL ANALYSIS OF HIGH CYCLE FATIGUE INVESTIGATIONS OF CAST MAGNESIUM ALLOY UNDER TRANSVERSE LOAD
Keywords:
Weibull analysis, AZ91 Magnesium alloy, High cycle fatigue, Transverse loadingAbstract
Magnesium is the lightest structural material used and it is important to explore its properties completely as it is used in aviation, automotive and communication. It is used as alloys combining with other metals. The behavior of the alloy at various ambiences has to be investigated. This paper reports the reliability analysis carried out on the high cycle fatigue investigations performed on cast AZ91 Magnesium alloys under transverse load. An Electro dynamic shaker system was used to apply transverse load on the specimens fabricated as per ASTM standard. Weibull analysis was under taken to check and compare the reliability of the investigations on gravity cast
