Pulse Current Auxiliary Tensile and Bulging of Light Metal Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pulse current effects during hot tensile process and superplastic forming process of AZ31 magnesium alloy and TA15 titanium alloy were investigated in this paper. The experimental results indicate that the current can produce polarity effect to coarse grain AZ31 magnesium alloy, but to fine grained TA15 titanium alloy, the polarity effect is not obvious. The impact of electron wind force can change the strength of material during tensile process and affect final shape of part, making the dome of AZ31 hemisphere part deviated from the axis to the side of positive pole during superplastic forming process. In addition, the impact of current depends on current density and dislocation density.
