In this study, non-uniform heating approach in warm T-joint forming process is attempted for the AZ31 magnesium alloy tube. For this purpose, finite element simulation is performed to analyze the appropriate temperature distribution. The validity of the finite element(FE) model of T-joint tube hydroforming(THF) is verified by comparing the FE simulation and experimental results. Using this FE model, appropriate temperature distribution was suggested. In addition, it was showed that the wall thickness could be more uniform by optimizing the temperature condition.

The finite element numerical simulation for the formability of magnesium alloy AZ31B sheets with thickness of 0.8mm and diameter of 140mm has been proceeded to investigate the formability using the current finite element software. Under the condition with blank holder force of 8KN and deep drawing speed of 0.3mm/s at 200, the sytematic analysis and prediction of the thickness change and the forming rule for thesimulation process of the blank has been carried out. Under the same parameter, the drawing parts by deep drawing with a hydaulic machine were obtained and the thickness tested. It has been found that thickness change rules and the forming rules of the experimental results were in agreement with the numerical simulations.

The microstructure and material properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy are very sensitive to process parameters, which directly determine the service properties. To explore and understand the deformation behavior and the optimization of the deformation process, the microstructure evolution during equal channel angular pressing was predicted by using the DEFORM-3D software package at different temperature. To verify the finite element simulation results, the microstructure across the transverse direction of the billet was measured. The results show that the effects strain and deformation temperatures on the microstructure evolution of AZ31 magnesium during ECAP process are significant, and a good agreement between the predicted and experimental results was obtained, which confirmed that the derived dynamic recrystallization mathematical models can be successfully incorporated into the finite element model to predict the microstructure evolution of ECAP process for AZ31 magnesium.

Rolling of Al-Mg-Al tri-layer composite material fabricated by the explosion cladding method was simulated using finite element methods. The rolling temperature was determined based on the flow stresses of AZ31 magnesium alloy and 7075 Al alloy at elevated temperature. The strain distribution in the plates during rolling and effects of the reduction ratio on the separation in the Al/Mg/Al laminate were studied. The simulation agrees with experimental results.
