Abstract

Most magnesium parts for automobiles are currently produced by die casting, which allows for complex geometries. However, die casting has two significant disadvantages over wrought alloy sheets: it results in poorer mechanical properties and much rougher surfaces. An alternative production route for these parts is deep-drawn and joined magnesium sheets. This article describes an investigation into the effects of the deep-drawing process on magnesium alloys.
