Purpose: of this paper is to extend a complex evaluation of magnesium alloys which requires very often knowledge mechanical properties. These properties are connected with microstructure that is influenced by metallurgical and technological factors and conditions of exploitation. Very important information for design and exploitation of these alloys is knowledge of fracture characteristics. Design/methodology/approach: Testing methods used magnesium alloys were based on tensile test and torsion test. The methods of the light microscopy and SEM for metallographic and fracture analyses of alloys after testing were used. Findings: Objective of this work consisted in determination of changes of mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of magnesium alloy in dependence on testing methods. Mg-Al alloy with graduate aluminium content as cast state and after heat treatment was used. It was confirmed that during heating at chosen temperatures there occurs partial dissolution of minority phases. Research limitations/implications: According to the alloys characteristic, the applied cooling rate and alloy additions seems to be a good compromise for mechanical properties and microstructures, nevertheless further tests should be carried out in order to examine different cooling rates and parameters of solution treatment process and aging process. Practical implications: The results may be utilized for a relation between plastic and strength properties of the investigated material in process of research and manufacturing. Originality/value: These results contribute to complex evaluation of properties magnesium alloys namely for explanation of fracture mechanism in changing condition of testing and exploitation. The results of this paper are determined for research workers deal by development new exploitations of magnesium alloys.
