Abstract

Evaluation of the possibility of substitution of steel part in the car body by the one made of AZ31 alloy was the main objective of the whole project. The objective of this paper was to determine the flow stress model, which accounts for the difference in the behavior of magnesium alloys during tension and compression. Tension tests on Zwick machine and compression tests on Gleeble 3800 were performed. Inverse analysis was applied to interpretation of the results of the tests. Separate numerical models for tension and compression were implemented into Abaqus software and simulations of the stamping were performed. Sensitivity of the results to the flow stress model was evaluated.
