마그네슘 합금 판재 (AZ31)의 온도별 특성 분석

Recently, in the surge of global environmental issues, there has been a great attention to lightweight materials in purpose of saving energy. Magnesium alloys not only have low specific gravity, and superb specific stiffness, but are also excellent in blocking vibrations and electromagnetic waves. So demand for this material is getting bigger rapidly throughout the industry. In this study, we examined the improvement of formability of magnesium alloy AZ31 material in warm working. Drawing, bending and shearing process were carried out by varying the forming temperature and the forming speed, and the influence of the variables on each process was studied. In the experiments, the high forming temperature and low forming speed results in high formability in the drawing process and the bending process. In the shearing process, as the forming temperature increases, the length of the fracture decreases
