Tensile and Compressive Tests of Magnesium Alloy J-1 Sheet
Abstract
Tensile and compressive properties of longitudinal and transverse specimens of magnesium alloy J-1 sheets, 0.032 and 0.12 in. thick, were tested. It was found that he tensile properties were above the Navy specification 47M2a for magnesium-base-alloy 8H. Longitudinal and transverse specimens were in close agreement in the tensile test. In the compressive yield strengths, longitudinal direction was much less than the transverse direction and both were much less than the corresponding values in tension.
