The formability of aluminum alloy sheet in electromagnetic impaction deformation has attracted the attention of numerous researchers for the past decades. However, the influences of die geometry and high-speed impaction electromagnetic deformation on formability have not been well established, thereby resulting in the formability of the sheet not being developed fully. In this study, the influence of die geometry on the formability of 5052 aluminum alloy in electromagnetic deformation was investigated by comparing the formability of 5052 aluminum alloys formed using a hemispherical die and a cylindrical die. The intriguing finding is that the formability of the 5052 aluminum alloy formed using a cylindrical die is considerably higher than that formed using a hemispherical die. Therefore, die geometry significantly influences the formability of 5052 aluminum alloy. The influence of die geometry on the formability of 5052 aluminum alloy in high-speed impaction electromagnetic deformation was explained in terms of strain rate, pressure stress, and stress state. This investigation enhances insight into the interaction between sheets and dies, and provides a reference for the studying influence of dies on the forming limit of sheets in high-speed impaction deformation.

The adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a potent vector for in vivo gene transduction and local therapeutic applications of AAVs, such as for skin ulcers, are expected. Localization of gene expression is important for the safety and efficiency of genetic therapies. We hypothesized that gene expression could be localized by designing biomaterials using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a carrier.

Aiming at the enhancement of the lightweight formability potential of aluminum alloy, the bulging and tensile properties of a 5052 Aluminum alloy sheet were tested on a microcomputer controlled sheet metal forming tester and tensile testing machine. The effects of different blank holder force, punch velocity and lubrication conditions were investigated on bulging properties by the experimental analysis. The cupping values (Erichsen Cupping Index: IE) of sheets with a thickness of 1.

Pure Ti or Ti alloys are recently spot-lighted in construction industries because they have excellent resistance to corrosions, chemicals, and climates as well as various coloring characteristics, but their wide applications are postponed by their expensiveness and poor formability. We present a new fabrication process of Ti/Al clad sheets by bonding a thin Ti sheet on to a 5052 Al alloy melt during vertical-twin-roll casting. This process has merits of reduced production costs as well as improved tensile properties.
