R. H. Wagoner 2 One-Year Project Goals (from Research Agreement, signed December 5, 2008) Task “1. Formulate a simple, approximate, constitutive equation based on simple testing temperature at a range of temperatures, rates and strains that is suitable for implementation in commercial sheet-forming softward (LS-Dyna, PamStamp, etc.). ” Status: First fitting completed. (For Posco AZ31B material provided.) To be improved. Task “2. Develop a thermo-mechanical FE model of a simplified sample part to be specified by Posco.” Status: The simplified model has been constructed in Abaqus and preliminary testing has been done. Will perform simulations using Abaqus for comparison with Posco simulation using LS-Dyna or PamStamp. Will refine thermal model. Task “3. Using the constitutive equation of Goal 2 and the FE model of Goal 3, identify optimal thermally-assisted forming strategies for the sample part.” Status: Not started yet.

R. H. Wagoner 26 Note R. Wagoner LLC requests the original Oh data* for Figure 9 and possibly other draw depths and variables (thickness strain, von Mises strain) for comparison with current results. Also, as shown on the next slide, punch force vs. draw depths could be compared. The paper does not clearly show those results. K.

R. H. Wagoner 28 Conclusions Tensile tests of Posco Mg AZ31B have been carried out, 150 o C o C, /s /s. A preliminary constitutive model reproduces measured tensile data with reasonable accuracy ( = 7 MPa) Further refinement of constitutive model is needed to reproduce large-strain tensile response better. The Oh formability test has been implemented and tested using Abaqus (material: 340BH). Additional data from Oh simulations are requested to permit additional verification. * K.
