Abstract

In this work, thermal deep drawing and thermoelectric coupling drawing tests were performed on an annealed ZK60 magnesium alloy sheet to investigate the effect of the pulse current on the formability of the ZK60 magnesium alloy during the drawing process. The effects of thermal deep drawing and the thermoelectric coupling on the forming of drawn parts were studied, and the changes of the thinning rate and hardness were obtained. The results showed that the using of pulse current improved the formability of the ZK60 magnesium alloy and increased the ultimate depth of drawing. The hardness value of the drawn part showed an overall increasing trend, followed by thermoelectric coupling deep drawing, which was significantly higher than the sheet after annealing without deep drawing. The deep-drawn parts had different grain sizes in different places, and dynamic recrystallization occurred to varying degrees in each region. Furthermore, the degree of dynamic recrystallization in the punch fillet and cylinder wall was significantly higher than in other areas.
