ABSTRACT |
In this paper, the formability of E-FORM magnesium alloy sheet (as one of recent alloys for automotive
magnesium sheets) is analyzed based on the comparison between the results of actual magnesium (Mg) roof forming and those
of finite element (FE) simulations. The FE model considers anisotropic mechanical properties and forming limit diagram
(FLD) of the investigated magnesium alloy sheet. Through the coupled experimental and numerical procedure, the dominating
factors for improving the accuracy of the numerical simulations are further studied. A commercial finite element analysis
program, AUTOFORM®, is used for the simulations, in which identified mechanical properties and forming limit criteria are
implemented as functions of temperature and strain rate. The improvement in the prediction of formability during the warm
forming of the E-FORM magnesium alloy sheet can be obtained by considering a modified hardening law at large strain
region, sheet anisotropy, and the properly measured forming limit curve. |
