THE USE OF SELECTIVE ANNEALING FOR SUPERPLASTIC FORMING OF MG AZ31 ALLOY

THE USE OF SELECTIVE ANNEALING FOR SUPERPLASTIC FORMING OF MG AZ31 ALLOY

A recent study on the Post-Formed properties of Superplastically Formed Magnesium AZ31B has shown that the heating time prior to testing has a major effect on the Post Forming properties of the superplastically material. To this point, there has been very little examination into the effect of pre-he...
