Analysis of Temperature Distribution on Warm Forming of Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy

Abstract:

In this study, a temperature distribution of 5083-O aluminum-magnesium (Al-Mg) alloy is analyzed at various die and blank initial temperature conditions using finite element analysis approach. Temperature distribution results of the blank reveal that the dies must be heated to predetermined temperatures for successful warm forming, even the blank is kept at room temperature.
