Experimental Investigation of Mechanical Properties and Forming Capabilities in Thin Magnesium Sheet at Elevated Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigates the mechanical properties and forming capabilities of magnesium ZE10. Mechanical properties are observed by stress strain diagram. Three types of the samples are used which are machined from thin sheets of 0.8mm thickness in 00, 450, 900 of the rolling direction (RD). The samples are then tested at different temperatures varying from room temperature (RT) to 400°C. The factors that are considered in tensile tests are Youngs modulus, Yield strength, Ultimate tensile strength and fracture strain. The later part of this paper is devoted to deep drawing tests in which specimen are drawn from room temperature to 250°C. In these tests variation of Limit Drawing Ratio (LDR) is investigated at different temperatures. The other parameters observed are drawing depth, punch force, blank holder force and their variation from room temperature to elevated temperature.
