Abstract

In recent years, there has been a growth of the manufacture and application of magnesium products because of its small specific gravity as well as its relatively high strength. However, there are so many studies to assure good formability because magnesium sheet alloy is difficult to form. In this study, uniaxial tensile and biaxial tensile tests of AZ31 magnesium sheet alloy with thickness of 1.2mm were performed at room temperature. Uniaxial tensile tests were performed until <TEX>$7{\%}$</TEX> of engineering strain. Lankford values and stress-strain curve were obtained. Biaxial tensile tests with cruciform specimen were performed until the breakdown of the specimen occurs. The yield loci were calculated by application of plastic work theory. The results are compared with the theoretical predictions based on the Hill and Logan-Hosford model. In this study, Hill's 1979 yield function for the case of m=2.8 and Logan-Hosford yield function for the case of M=8 give good agreements with experimental results. However, next study will be performed at warm-temperature because the specimens are broken under the <TEX>$0.5{\%}$</TEX> of equivalent strain at biaxial tensile test.
