Research on Formability of AZ31B Magnesium Alloy at Room Temperature

Abstract:

Tensile tests and a cold deep drawing process were developed at room temperature to estimate the stamping formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet. The results show that AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet has poor formability at room temperature with the total elongation of ~ 20%, the yield ratio is about 0.6 and the strain-hardening exponent is 0.18, while the plastic strain ratio is 1.58, and the earing ratio is-0.55.Thus, AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet can not suffer server plastic deformation. It was found that comparatively shallow magnesium alloy cups were satisfactorily formed at room temperature without heating when the punch fillet radius 6mm and the die fillet radius10mm with a 1mm thickness sheet with limit drawing ratio of 1.25.
