【正文】 (a) that the curves of LZ91 sheet at room temperature and AZ31 sheet at 200 176。C. Since the cost of lithium is very expensive, LZ91 sheet, instead of LZ101 sheet, can be considered as a suitable LZ magnesium alloy sheet to render favorable formability at room temperature. For this reason, the present study adopted LZ91 sheet as the blank for the notebook top cover case and attempted to examine the formability of LZ91 at room temperature. In order to determine if the fracture would occur in the finite element analysis, the forming limit diagram for the mm thick LZ91 sheet was also established as shown in Fig. 2(b). 9 Fig. 2. Mechanical properties of magnesium alloy. (a) The stress–strain relations of magnesium alloy。C. The superior formability of LZ91 sheet at room temperature was also demonstrated in the present study by successful manufacturing of the notebook top cover case. The proposed fouroperation process lends itself to an efficient approach to form the hinge in the notebook with fewer operational procedures than that required in the current practice. 14 It also confirms that the notebook cover cases can be produced with LZ91 magnesium alloy LZ91 sheet by the stamping process. It provides an alternative to the electronics industry in the application of magnesium alloys.
