Fatigue behaviour of ultra fine-grained Copper and Magnesium alloy materials

Anotace

Although ultra fine-grained materials have been studied very intensively in the last decade, the knowledge of fatigue properties and changes of microstructure during cyclic loading is still quite poor as compared to the knowledge of the static properties of such materials. The aim of current study is to get deep understanding of the fatigue behaviour of ultra fine -grained Cu and Mg alloys and to provide fundamental knowledge inevitable for further material design and application. The coordinated conducting of research between IPM and the Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China is of interest for both partners, because (i) it makes the research in both institutes more effective, profound and complementary (sharing of time-consuming fatigue experiments), (ii) it yields a platform to discuss the common concerned scientific problems, (iii) it brings broader material basis for the study of the same phenomenon.
