This paper deals with friction properties and deformation resistance during hot forming of Mg-Al-Ca-Mn series magnesium alloys. Friction coefficients between dies and magnesium alloys were obtained by ring compression tests that used graphite, PTFE, and an oil lubricant in a hot-forging process. Hot forging was performed under various conditions to clarify the effects of types of lubricants and slide motion of the press machines on friction properties. Two types of slide motion, a constant velocity motion and a pulse motion were selected in the ring-compression test. It was found that graphite with an oil lubricant effectively eliminated die sticking in hot forming of magnesium alloys. The isothermal deformation resistances were derived using friction coefficients obtained by ring-compression tests as well as finite-element simulations. The predicted stress strain curves with temperature were examined with the stress-strain relationship obtained in experiments using a servo press and demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In metal forming, friction has a negative effect on the deformation load & energy requirements, homogeneity of metal flow, quality of formed surfaces, etc.; however, its effect can be reduced through the use of proper lubricants. Mostly, in industrial applications, selection of proper lubricant for specific material is challenging and quantification of magnitude of friction at diework piece interface is essential. Hence, for metallic alloys, a realistic friction factor is needed to be known and used at the diework piece interface for better control of deformation process. Thus, this research, generally, aims at experimental investigation of the friction behavior of aluminum AA4032 alloy and selection of suitable lubricant for its effective processing using ring compression test and finite element (FE) simulations. Meanwhile, the effect of metal surface conditions and different lubricants namely palm oil, grease, emulsion oil and dry conditions on the friction behaviour has been evaluated. A commercial FEM software, DEFORM 3D, is used to analyze the flow of metal, determine the geometry changes of the specimen and generate friction calibration curves. The results revealed that the nature of metal surface and lubricating conditions have significantly affected the metal flow pattern, deformation load requirement, induced effective stress and strain, and geometry of the metal. The friction factor at die-work piece is determined for different lubricating conditions. Among lubricants employed, palm oil is found to be suitable and effective for industrial processing of aluminium AA4032 alloy, specifically for forging. The FE simulation results are in a good agreement with the experimental one.

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.

This paper focuses on the hardness distribution in the AA2014-T6 ring specimens upset under rigid dies. Three different types of lubricants namely soap, boric acid and vaseline were employed as lubricants and the friction factor corresponding to the lubricant employed was evaluated using standard ‘Ring compression test’. The strain distributions obtained from the simulation studies were used to predict the hardness inside the ring specimen. The hardness measured experimentally was validated with the predicted hardness and it was found that the errors in the predicted results were less than 10%. The hardness variations inside the upset metallic ring specimens were compared with the deformed solid cylinders to understand the behavior of differential strain hardening. It can be reported from the experimental and predicted results that the hardness is not uniform inside the deformed ring specimen and it varies at the bulge head; on the surface and along the neutral plane.
