Formability of Magnesium-Lithium Alloy Sheet by Multi-Stage Deep Drawing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The formability of the magnesium-lithium alloy was examined by multi-stage deep drawing. Long cups of magnesium alloy were formed at ambient temperatures by multi-stage deep drawing processes. In multi-stage deep drawing, the magnesium-lithium alloy sheets were employed and a flat sheet blank is formed into a cylindrical by a punch. Various cups were drawn by exchanging the punch and ringed die. The die was flat in the first stage, and was taper without a blankholder in the subsequent stages. The effects of the ratio of blank diameter to punch diameter and blank thickness on the deep drawability were examined. It was confirmed that the Mg-Li alloy long-cups were successfully formed by a multi-stage deep drawing operation in cold.
