In the present work the definition of a test procedure for evaluating the formability of Mg alloy thin sheets was investigated taking into account both temperature and strain rate. A numerical-experimental approach was adopted by the authors: numerical simulations were run with the aim of: (i) defining the punch geometry of the formability test equipment in order to have a uniform, fast and constant temperature distribution on the specimen; (ii) setting the test operating conditions in order to force the specimen failure in a region where temperature and strain can be easily acquired. Some formability tests were performed and strain fields were measured using an optical measurement system.

Abstract
In the present work the definition of a test procedure for evaluating the formability of Mg alloy thin sheets was investigated taking into account both temperature and strain rate. A numerical-experimental approach was adopted by the authors: numerical simulations were run with the aim of: (i) defining the punch geometry of the formability test equipment in order to have a uniform, fast and constant temperature distribution on the specimen; (ii) setting the test operating conditions in order to force the specimen failure in a region where temperature and strain can be easily acquired. Some formability tests were performed and strain fields were measured using an optical measurement system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
