Abstract

Since magnesium alloy has a limited formability at room temperature, forming should be carried out at the elevated temperature. If the initial grain size is small, superplasticity could be expected over $400^{\circ}C$. Using superplastic behavior, blow forming can be used to overcome the low formability of Mg alloys. In the present study, the optimization of blow forming of AZ31 alloy at the elevated temperature was investigated. Finite element simulation was carried out and verified with the blow forming experiments.
