Abstract

In this paper, infrared thermography was employed to study the fatigue process of AZ31B magnesium alloy. In order to eliminate the interference caused by the temperature rise of the fixture, a data processing method was proposed, which is based on a special model to describe the temperature change of the specimen. Based on the temperature data after processing, the temperature evolution indicates that AZ31B magnesium alloy has undergone cyclic hardening during fatigue. Three different temperature indicators were selected to evaluate the fatigue limit based on the evolution curve after processing. In addition, the experimental results showed that the temperature data processed by the proposed method can be used to estimate the fatigue limit of AZ31B magnesium alloy. Experiments were performed for both extrusion and transverse directions in consideration of the anisotropy of the AZ31B.
