The microstructures were characterized by optical microscopy （OM）. The results reveal that the limiting drawing ratio （LDR） of 5182-O aluminum alloy sheet is 1.7 using the flat blank holder. The drawn cup have severe earring. Compared with using flat blank holder, the LDR of 5182-O aluminum alloy sheet is enhanced to 2.0 using curved blank holder. In addition, the earring ratio also reduces and flange wrinkling is prevented when the curved blank holder is used. These are due to a more uniform sheet flow in different directions with curved blank holder.展开更多

In the experiments, the blank holder and die contacting with the blank were heated to the same temperature as the blank by using the heating facility. The circular blank heated in an oven is formed at a temperature range of 100~400 ℃ to obtain the optimum forming temperature range and the effects of major technical parameters on the workpiece quality. It is found that the blank is brittle at temperatures lower than 200℃. Temperatures higher than 400℃ are not suitable for forming of the sheets because of severe oxidation and wrinkling. AZ31B shows an excellent formability at temperatures from 300 to 350℃ and can be formed into a workpiece with good quality. When the blank holder force is 9 kN, extruded sheets with a thickness of 1 mm can be formed into cups without wrinkling. Workpieces show strong anisotropic deformation behavior on the flanges.展开更多
