Abstract

Thermal cycling curves of QE22 based Mg alloy reinforced with Maftech, Saffil and Supertech short fibres are analysed to decipher the intrinsic material behaviour after weaning out the artefacts from the instrument. Coefficient of thermal expansion, temperature at which deviation from elastic behaviour occurs and strain contribution due to plastic deformation or thermal relaxation is evaluated. These evaluations are justified with the help of theoretical calculations by existing models.
