Az31b Magnesium Alloy Sheet

The straight groove test of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet by electric hot temperature-controlled incremental sheet forming (ISF) was conducted at different temperatures. The temperature influence on fracture depth, deformation force and strain distribution was investigated. It was found that the limit depth and major strain increased as the temperature rose and that the forming force decreased correspondingly. Furthermore, the fracture behavior changed from brittle fracture to ductile fracture. Considering the formability and surface wear comprehensively, the optimized forming temperature was determined to be 300 °C. The microstructure of the groove specimen was analyzed and the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was considered to be the reason for the improved formability. The degree of DRX depended on the temperature and degree of deformation, which resulted in non-uniform distribution of hardness within the cross section of the groove specimen.

Simulation Results

The effect of forming temperature on the deep drawability (limit drawing ratio (LDR)) of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet was studied both numerically and experimentally by the use of finite element analysis software DYNAFORM and specially designed warm deep drawing die set. The simulation model was built by SolidWorks 2009, 3-Parameter_Barlat model with BT shell unit was adopted as material model. The constitutive relation of the material was provided by uniaxial isothermal tension tests at different temperatures. After being set, all parameters were referred to famous explicit dynamic solver LS-DYNA. The simulation results showed that the LDR of the AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet is increased with the increase of the temperature initially, but after the temperature reached 423K, the LDR reached the maximum, and then decrease with the increase of temperature in the temperature range studied (room temperature-673K). PTEF was used as lubricant in the experiment. Experimental results showed same trend as numerical simulation results in the studied range of temperature, and LDR reached the maximum of 3.0 at 423K. It is shown that the results of numerical simulation have a good agreement with that of the experiment. By analyzing the microstructure of the drawn-cup walls at different temperatures, it is found that grains were stretched along the direction of tension at temperatures lower than 423K. And there appeared a large number of fine recrystallized grains when forming temperature is 423K showing that dynamic recrystallization occurred during forming process. Dynamic recrystallization conducted completely when forming temperature increased higher than 423K, but the material softening would aggravate with the increase of temperature and on the contrary would do harm to the deep drawing of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet, resulting the decrease of LDR.

Welded Seam

Magnesium alloy tailor-welded blanks(MTWBs) of AZ31 and AZ80 sheet had been manufactured by gas tungsten arc welded(GTAW), which the thickness were 0.8mm. The welding properties of Magnesium alloy sheet had been analyzed, and the technology parameters of GTAW were determined by experiment study, which was that welding thread being Φ2.0mm, welding electricity 50A, welding voltage 9V, welding rate 12—13cm/min. The research results presented that the grain in welded seam was isometric crystal, and the grains were branching crystal in heat-affected zone (HAZ). For MTWBs of AZ31and AZ80 sheet which the thickness was 0.8mm, the forming parameters were that the forming temperature of AZ31 being 190-220°C, and forming temperature of AZ80 being 310°C-350°C, and the temperature of tools is 180°C~200°C.

Critical Reduction

Magnesium alloys show low deformability at low temperature because of hcp structure and inactiveness of basal slip. Manufacturing of thin sheet is difficult in industries. Some approaches, such as small-draft multi-pass rolling, intermediate annealing, isothermal rolling and high-speed rolling were proposed to overcome the deformability. However, small edge cracks are still formed on the sheet. In this study, rolling speed of 1000m/min was employed to warm-roll AZ31B magnesium alloy in a single pass at different temperatures. The edge cracks formed after the rolling were classified into three main groups: minor, regular and zigzag edge cracks. ‘Crack contact length’ are introduced to explain the morphology of edge cracks. The results show that the critical reduction for crack initiation depends on the pre-heating temperature. The spacing between edge cracks increases linearly with the crack contact length regardless of roll diameter, speed and reduction. It is suggested that this approach is useful to understand the formation mechanism of edge cracks and to evaluate the rollability of magnesium alloys.
