Experimental Research on AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Sheet with Electromagnetic Forming and Quasi-Static Forming

Abstract

Forming Limit Diagram of AZ31 magnesium alloy in different forming methods was researched in this paper. Experiment equipment and processes were improved successfully. Some tests and experiments (including tensile test, punch test and electromagnetic forming experiment) of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet were done. Forming Limit Diagram of electromagnetic forming was established successfully. It could promote the application of magnesium alloy sheet in electromagnetic forming. Forming Limit Diagram of static forming was established successfully. It was very useful for the application of magnesium alloy sheet in other forming methods. The difference between these Forming Limit Diagram showed that electromagnetic forming obviously improve forming ability of the magnesium alloy sheet.
