Abstract
Systems, methods, and compositions for improved warm-forming of light metal alloys, such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, or titanium alloys, are disclosed. The systems and methods relate to pulse thermal processing, engineered plastic deformation, and micro-aging processes, as well as to the application of multi-functional lubricants. The disclosed multifunctional lubricant compositions provide a number of advantages when used in warm-forming processes, and in one embodiment, include organo-titanates and magnesium hydroxide, and in other embodiments an organo-titanate, magnesium hydroxide and boron nitride.
