Abstract: In the present paper, the flow behaviour of the magnesium wrought alloy AZ31 is analysed experimentally and numerically. Especial in deep drawing processes is the knowledge of the flow behaviour important. Depending on the type and size of the hardening and softening of a material, the process parameters such as temperature and sheet thickness must be adjusted to produce a flawless part. The material behaviour of magnesium is different compared to conventional steels, because the hardening and softening effects are changing highly with increasing temperature. For this purpose, yield curves were recorded experimentally at different temperatures by means of layer compression tests. Following the yield curves were converted based on the principle of the plastic work equivalence for finite element simulations (FEA). For validation, numerical simulations of the layer compression test at elevated temperature using the converted yield curve were carried out.
