Abstract
Understanding tensile and fracture behaviors of die cast magnesium alloys is of importance for proper design of various
emerging automotive applications. In the present study, magnesium alloy AM50 was high pressure die cast into rectangular
coupons with section thicknesses of 2, 6, and 10 mm. Effect of section thicknesses on strain-hardening and fracture
behaviors of the die cast AM50 was investigated. The results of tensile testing indicate that the tensile properties including
yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and elongation
