Abstract

In this work, in order to predict the forming failure of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet in drawing process at elevated temperatures, a series of square cup tests at various temperatures and FE analyses were carried out. The critical damage values and the mechanical properties dependent on strain rates and temperatures were evaluated from uniaxial tensile tests and those were utilized to the forming failure prediction using FE analysis. Based on the plastic deformation history obtained from FE analysis and Cockcroft and Latham’s ductile fracture criterion, the fracture initiation time and location were predicted and verified with the experimental results.
