Materials, Vol. 10, Pages 1271: Statistical Analysis on the Mechanical Properties of Magnesium Alloys Materials doi: 10.3390/ma10111271 Authors: Shengfeng Guo Ruoyu Liu Xianquan Jiang Hongju Zhang Dingfei Zhang Jingfeng Wang Fusheng Pan Knowledge of statistical characteristics of mechanical properties is very important for the practical application of structural materials. Unfortunately, the scatter characteristics of magnesium alloys for mechanical performance remain poorly understood until now. In this study, the mechanical reliability of magnesium alloys is systematically estimated using Weibull statistical analysis. Interestingly, the Weibull modulus, m, of strength for magnesium alloys is as high as that for aluminum and steels, confirming the very high reliability of magnesium alloys. The high predictability in the tensile strength of magnesium alloys represents the capability of preventing catastrophic premature failure during service, which is essential for safety and reliability assessment.
