Structural components for aerospace, electronics and automobile industry are the main applications for magnesium alloys due to their lightweight and high specific strength. The adoption of magnesium alloys in sheet forming processes is still limited, due to their low formability at room temperature caused by the hexagonal crystal structure. In this paper, the authors aim to improve the formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy. For this, experiment and finite element analysis on used warm deep drawing process with a local heating and cooling technique were done. Both die and blank holder were heated at various warm temperature while the punch was kept at room temperature by cooling water.

The use of magnesium alloys meets the need of reducing weight of componests(especially in automotive and aerospace industry) keeping unmodified their mechanical properties. The adoption of magnesium alloys in sheet forming processes is still limited, due to their low formability at room temperature caused by the hexagonal crystal structure. In this study, the authors aim to understand the process condition which can lead to a successful improvement in the formability of a magnesium alloy(AZ31). Experiment and simulations of deep drawing were doned at various warm temperature for the blank and tool(holde and die)while the punch was kept at room temperature by cooling wale. in order to confirm that the deep drawing performance of magnesium alloy can be considerably enhanced with using the local heating and cooling technique.

In this study, it is investigated that the effect of material properties such as various temperature, forming speed and strain rates on formability and forming limits of Mg alloy sheet in square cup deep drawing. Since the sheet metal forming of Mg alloy is perform at elevated temperature, the effect of strain rates related with the forming temperature and forming speed is very important factor for formability and forming limits. Therefore, the investigation for process variables is necessary to improve formability and forming limits. Also, the effects of strain rate and thickness transformation were studied by the experimental and FE analysis using the square cup deep drawing. The temperature, forming speed, and strain rates were investigated. Forming of Mg alloy takes consider into temperature, proper forming speed and strain-rate the formed parts were good without defects fur forming limits.

A forming limit diagram (FLD) defines the extent to which specific sheet material can be deformed by drawing, stretching or any combination of those two. To determine the forming limit curve (FLC) accurately, it is necessary to perform the tests under well-organized conditions. In this study, the influence of several geometric or process parameters such as the blank shape and dimensions, strain measuring equipments, test termination time, forming speed and lubricants on the FLC is investigated.

The surface oxidation of magnesium was performed by Plasma electrolytic oxidation treatment method. And the optical reflectance spectra of the oxidation layers are studied. In the PEO process, the growth of the oxide layer take place at room temperature. Surface roughness of the obtained result, the average surface roughness is $0.08{\mu}m$ difference. The reason seems to the influence of the $Na^+$.

In this study, the experiments of warm deep drawing were done with heated die, and with heated die and cooled punch in order to investigate the formability of ZA31 magnesium sheet alloy of warm deep drawing. For this, warm deep drawing experiments were executed under various temperature, punch velocity and blankholder force. The results of warm deep drawing with heated die showed that fracture occurred punch part at punch velocity of 75mm/min and punch stroke of 10mm under temperature of $100^{\circ}C\~250^{\circ}C$, but did not occure under temperature of $275^{\circ}C\~400^{\circ}C$. And fracture at punch stroke of 25mm did not occurre at punch part under punch velocity of 30mm/min and $250^{\circ}C$, but occured under punch velocity of 75 and 125 mm/min. Also the results of warm deep drawing with heated die and cooled punch showed that the temperature happening maximum height under punch velocity of 10-100mm/min was $225-250^{\circ}C$. And necking occurred at punch shoulder under $20\~150^{\circ}C$, but at die wall under $200\~300^{\circ}C$.

Magnesium alloy sheets are usually formed at temperatures between $150^{\circ}C$and $300^{\circ}C$ because of their poor formability at room temperature. In the present study, the formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets was investigated by the analytical and experimental approaches. First, tensile tests and the limit dome height test were carried out at elevated temperatures to get the mechanical properties and forming limit diagram, respectively. And then deep drawing of cross shaped die was tried to get the minimum corner radius and forming limit at specific temperature. Blank shape, punch velocity, minimum corner radius, fillet size, etc, were determined by finite element analysis physical try-outs. Especially, optimum punch and die temperature were suggested through the temperature-deformation analysis using Pam-stamp.

Since the sheet forming of Mg alloy has many difficulties due to the low formability, many forming conditions need to be selected properly. Especially, the process variables should be investigated to increase the formability, such as, forming temperature. In this paper, the effects of forming process variables has been investigated using the bending and deep drawing process. A simple U-bending designed for mobile part could be formed in room temperature and springback amounts are surveyed. On the other hand, square cup part couldn't be formed in room temperature due to the low formability. Therefore, the effects of forming temperature are investigated in deep drawing process for square cup part. As a experimental and FEM results, the optimum forming temperature is presence and formability in a higher temperature is less than that of lower temperature. Above experimental results are compared with the FEM analysis and well coincided with the experimental results. Therefore, more detail investigations could be progressed to select more appropriate process conditions by the FEA.
