Forming of Seat Bidet by AZ31 Magnesium Alloy through Stamping Process

Abstract:

In this paper, the forming of a seat bidet at 150°Cand 200°C by AZ31 magnesium alloy through the stamping process was conducted. The microstructure and the press technology were investigated. The results show that the lubrication and temperature have an important impact on the stamping forming. The seat bidet can be forming successfully by warm stamping. While the defect and fracture behavior mainly occurs at the corner of the seat bidet and the slant groove in the center.
