Description
The warm drawing process in heated dies is proposed to increase the workability of Mg alloys. The purpose of this paper is development and experimental validation of a mathematical model of a warm drawing of wires made of MgCa0.8 and Ax30 alloys and determination of optimal parameters for maximum workability. The first part focuses on development of a numerical model, which is based on an FE solution; the second on experimental upsetting and tensile tests. Flow stress and ductility models were obtained based on these tests.
