Thickness of Magnesium Alloy Square Parts in Hydraulic Deep Drawing

Abstract:

Forming effect of square parts is influenced greatly by technical parameters in hydraulic deep drawing, and it is significative to investigate the parameters. The technical parameters which influence the cold forming effect (wall thickness difference and minimum wall thickness) were introduced in detail by numerical simulation method, including the load method of blank holder force, drawing speed, hydraulic pressure, etc. Furthermore, the reasonable technological parameters were concluded and the wall thickness distribution of magnesium alloy square parts was discussed in this paper. The results show that the cold formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy square parts could be improved when adopt reasonable technological parameters and blank holder force load path in hydraulic deep drawing.
