Abstract

Magnesium alloys known for its lightweight and high stiffness serve the aerospace and automotive industries. The flammable property of magnesium alloy restricts its applications under certain circumstances. To overcome this limitation and to reduce the intensity of flammability, aluminum is coated on AZ31B magnesium alloys. Near net shape forming of industrial products with intricacies in geometry are simulated in MSC.MARC/MENTAT on aluminum-coated magnesium alloys. Investigations on the forming time and final thickness distribution on the product for different D/H ratios are conducted. The gas pressure profile for optimum time is obtained for improved thickness distribution. The thickness distribution conserves the material for a given target strain rate and uniformity in thickness of the product is observed.
