Abstract

A pyramid sheet has been used in experiments and three-dimensional finite element simulation to study the edge cracks and effects of width on AZ31 sheet under rolling. Results show that the edge cracks of Mg sheet comply with the Normalized Crockroft & Latham theory. It can be predicted by D=-0.124+0.09X-0.008X2, if D≥0, the edge cracks occur. The sheet shearing deformation at the edge brings about cracks. The strain rate changes periodically with different X. With initial width increases, the recrystallized grain size decreases. The finite element model has been validated by the experiment results.
