Study on High-Strain-Rate Deformation of Magnesium Alloy Using Underwater Shock Waves Generated by High-Voltage Electric Discharge of Thin Wire

Magnesium is an abundant material with high specific strength, and its use as a structural metal is increasing. However, its properties cause difficulty in its formation at room temperature. Therefore, the objective of this study was to form a magnesium alloy at room temperature using an underwater...

description Magnesium is an abundant material with high specific strength, and its use as a structural metal is increasing. However, its properties cause difficulty in its formation at room temperature. Therefore, the objective of this study was to form a magnesium alloy at room temperature using an underwater shock wave generated by the discharge of an aluminum wire. Forming was conducted using an auxiliary plate composed of aluminum instead of magnesium alloy alone. In addition, hyperbolic and parabolic pressure vessels were employed. Numerical simulations were performed to measure the pressure values, propagation of underwater shock waves, and deformation of the magnesium alloy. Large deformation was observed when an auxiliary aluminum plate was placed on the upper surface of an AZ31 magnesium alloy plate inside the hyperbolic pressure vessel.
