Abstract

This study has mostly focused on the forming limit, microstructural change, and anisotropy that arise from rectangular and circular deep drawing of magnesium sheets. Moreover, this study predicts the change in the material thickness and the forming depth at the first forming process that produces the rectangular cup by the deep drawing of the rectangular blank. Further, by using the rectangular cup that is formed by the first forming process, when the circular and square cups in the rectangular cup are simultaneously manufactured in the so-called second forming process, the effect of the clearance between the die and punch on the change in the product thickness according to forming depth associated with microstructural analysis is investigated. The forming temperature is optimized to maximize formability. The results obtained in this study are utilized as data for predicting the die clearance and the change in the thickness.
