In this study, non-uniform heating approach in warm T-joint forming process is attempted for the AZ31 magnesium alloy tube. For this purpose, finite element simulation is performed to analyze the appropriate temperature distribution. The validity of the finite element(FE) model of T-joint tube hydroforming(THF) is verified by comparing the FE simulation and experimental results. Using this FE model, appropriate temperature distribution was suggested. In addition, it was showed that the wall thickness could be more uniform by optimizing the temperature condition.

In this study a cyclic rotating bending process for microstructure control of metal tubes was newly proposed. The AZ31 magnesium alloy tube was conducted to investigate the effect of the rotating bending process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of metal tubes. The rotating bending process was carried out with rotation speed of 20r/min for 10min at the temperature of 150, 200, 250, 300 and 350°C. The rotating bending processes carried out with various conditions show that the grains in cross-section and longitudinal section of magnesium alloy tube were refined for all samples by the rotating bending process with rotation speed of 20r/min for different rotation numbers and temperatures. The rotating bending temperature shows a various effects on the mechanical properties. When the temperature was 200°C, the highest strength as well as ductility was obtained.
