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 increasing. However, properties cause difficulty in formation at room temperature. Therefore, the objective of this study was to form magnesium alloy temperature using underwater shock wave generated by discharge aluminum wire. Forming conducted auxiliary plate composed instead alone. In addition, hyperbolic parabolic pressure vessels were employed. Numerical simulations performed measure values, propagation waves, deformation alloy. Large observed when placed on upper surface AZ31 inside vessel.
