| Abstract: | Usage properties of bolted joints in magnesium parts The following paper presents a survey on the results of the research project “Usage properties of bolted joints in magnesium parts”. By the use of component orientated specimen geometries parameter for the use of bolted joints in and with magnesium cast parts are determined in a most realistic way. Therefore investigations on magnesium alloy sockets with thread and sockets with clearance hole in combination with steel and aluminium alloy fasteners have been carried out. The focus of the investigations is set on the minimum thread reach and the interfacial load on one hand and on the other on the relaxation behaviour. Geometry, load and temperature are variied. The investigated materials are characterized with regard to their suitability of certain environments. |
