A synergistic control of material flow in superplastic forming of AZ31 magnesium alloy
Source abstract
Abstract
By combining a variable-thickness truncated-cone blank with an optimal die entry radius, this study effectively mitigates severe thinning in the superplastic forming of AZ31 alloy shells. This synergistic approach reduces thickness variation from 56% to 9%, providing a reliable strategy for manufacturing components with nearly constant thickness.
