Abstract

In this paper the formability of heat treated AA19000 and AA5052 aluminium alloys was studied through experimentation and finite element simulation. The aluminium alloys of 1mm thickness as received and annealed condition were subjected to tensile test and Erichsen cupping test. The experimental results showed that AA5052 possessed better formability than AA19000, due to its magnesium content. The material properties obtained from the tests were validated through simulation using ABAQUS/CAE.
