Abstract In this paper, the formability of E-FORM magnesium alloy sheet (as one of recent alloys for automotive magnesium sheets) is analyzed based on the comparison between the results of actual magnesium (Mg) roof forming and those of finite element (FE) simulations. The FE model considers anisotropic mechanical properties and forming limit diagram (FLD) of the investigated magnesium alloy sheet. Through the coupled experimental and numerical procedure, the dominating factors for improving the accuracy of the numerical simulations are further studied. A commercial finite element analysis program, AUTOFORM®, is used for the simulations, in which identified mechanical properties and forming limit criteria are implemented as functions of temperature and strain rate. The improvement in the prediction of formability during the warm forming of the E-FORM magnesium alloy sheet can be obtained by considering a modified hardening law at large strain region, sheet anisotropy, and the properly measured forming limit curve.
