✦ Synopsis

A new optimization approach for superplastic forming of Mg AZ31 alloy is presented and experimentally validated. The proposed new optimization approach is based on a multiscale failure criterion that takes into account both geometrical necking and microstructural evolution, yielding a variable strain rate forming path instead of the commonly used constant strain rate approach. Uniaxial tensile tests and free bulge forming experiments, in conjunction with finite element analysis, are used to evaluate the proposed optimization approach. Significant reduction in forming time is achieved when following the proposed optimization approach, without compromising the uniformity of deformation.

In the metal forming industry, most of the efforts are directed towards materials and process development, with little attention paid to the properties of the formed components. In Superplastic Forming (SPF), the issue of post-forming properties is particularly important because of the large plastic

The deformation mechanisms and the thermal stability of AZ31 alloy, processed by various routes, have been investigated. Superplastic deformations could be achieved at flow stresses lower than 10 MPa at 375 β€’ C and 10 -4 s -1 in the AZ31 alloy with a grain size of 17 m. The thermal stability of seve
