Chapter 14, Problem 14.13P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ratio which increases the yield strength of magnesium by heat treatment and by alloying in comparison to aluminum slloy should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The yield strength ratio (r) is calculated by using the following equation,

  $r=\frac{\gamma s}{\gamma s_{mg}}$.

Where, $\gamma s_{mg}$ is the yield strength of pure magnesium

  $\gamma s$ is the yield strength of magnesium alloy.
