Abstract
We theoretically and numerically studied the properties of a high-strength magnesium alloy rotating mirror (Mg-RM) as a novel potential candidate for an ultra-high speed camera. The maximum lateral deformation of the Mg-RM was reduced to 0.92 times that of a high-strength aluminium alloy rotating mirror (Al-RM) at a rotating speed of 5Â ÃÂ 105 revolutions per minute (rpm). Meanwhile, compared to the Al-RM, the limit edge linear velocity of the Mg-RM was improved by 1.11 times, indicating that the limit time resolution could be improved by 11% when used for an ultra-high speed camera. According to our theoretical and numerical investigations, the remarkable properties of the Mg-RM, indicate that the high-strength magnesium alloy is another ideal and novel RM material for ultra-high speed cameras.
