| Abstract Scope |
Magnesium and its alloys have a great potential in sheet metal structural components due to their light weighting properties. However, most magnesium sheet metal manufacturing routes involve various extents of bending; wherein the presence of yield asymmetry causes undesirable shifts in neutral axis leading to unpredictable spring back. In the current study, a magnesium alloy was subjected to material processing under several conditions to alter the yield asymmetry properties. The bendability of the processed sheet metals was evaluated by V-Bending forming process and coefficient of neutral axis was derived after the V-Bending operation. The extent of shift in the neutral axis in the Magnesium sheet metals during bending was correlated to the amount of spring-back encountered. The microstructural changes were captured during the V-Bending operation and after the spring-back. The trends in spring back, the shift of neutral axis, and yield asymmetry in processed Mg sheet metal products were established. |
