Abstract

Mg alloys sheet have attracted considerable attention as one of the most promising lightweight structural materials for weight-reduction-oriented industries. However, Mg alloy sheets, such as AZ31B, exhibit extremely inferior deformation ability at room temperatures. Therefore, this paper proposes an innovative warm incremental sheet forming (WISF) assisted with oil bath heating approach to form hard-to-form metallic materials. To examine the forming quality of the developed oil bath heating approach, using springback as an estimate index, a sequence of tests have been conducted while forming AZ31B according to central composite design including response surface methodology and analysis of variance. The results indicated the innovative approach was able to form AZ31B Mg alloy sheets with great feasibility. It was also found that the forming temperature, forming angle, step depth and sheet thickness are the main significant factors affecting the springback, whereas, tool diameter much less influential roles in the individual effects of five process parameters, and reasons for those results were explained, also.
