Deskripsi

The study was carried out on a KRUMAN-CLS1016-NC shearing machine at a shear temperature of 20 °C to 250 °C and a shear edge clearance of 8% to 10% for a rolled AZ31B magnesium alloy plate with a thickness of 8.35 mm. The height and area share of the bright zone in the shear section were analyzed by macroscopic measurements and super depth-of-field experiments, and combined with DEFORM-3D finite element simulations, the optimal shear program was determined using the orthogonal experimental method. It was found that, with the increase of shear temperature and shear edge clearance, the height and area of the burnish band first increased and then decreased. In addition, from the simulated orthogonal test, it can be obtained that the effect of shear temperature on the height of the burnish band is superior to that of the shear edge gap, so the selection of shear temperature is preferred. In this paper, the shear temperature of 150 °C and the shear edge clearance of 12% were finally determined as the best shear process parameters for the rolled AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet.
