Forming Construction Elements for Aviation from Light Alloys with the Use of Cold Extrusion in Complex State of Strain

Abstract

The article presents the results of tests which are connected with possibilities of forming the magnesium alloys. Research was conducted on the basis of the plastic forming test with the use of KOBO method – cold forming. Materials for tests were ingots from magnesium alloys and the results of tests were the achieved flat bars. Microstructure tests were conducted with the use of optical and electron microscopes. The mechanical properties of the tested materials are presented in the paper together with the advantages of the achieved alloys. It was possible to determine the possible further research directions connected with this material.
