Abstract

In this work, the rectangular die is fabricated and superplastic forming of the magnesium alloy is carried out. The AZ31 alloy is taken under three different conditions such as base sample (without processing), rolled sample and shot peened sample. The die design is exported using a CAD model and subsequent fabrication process is performed. The superplastic deformation property of the magnesium alloy is explored through the blow forming method. Inert gas (argon) is passed under high pressure with temperature (250 °C) to blow the metal into a rectangular shape. Finally, the formed component is subjected to microstructural and mechanical studies.
