Abstract The large ellipsoid parts are the main load-bearing components in the rocket tank, which are prone to wrinkle when using the traditional stamping. In order to solve the wrinkling problem in large parts, the EMIF method with a variable blank holder is proposed in this paper. The numerical simulation has shown that the sheet material near the blank holder is, as a consequence of stamping, subjected to circumferential compressive stress. When the drawing height was 100 mm, the sheet metal was notably wrinkled. In the electromagnetic forming (EMF) process, the sheet region facing the coil becomes thinner. However, the sheet metal thickness corresponding to the coil edge increases with the increase in forming height. If the EMF forming height is 150 mm, the sheet, which is in contact with the smooth mold, is deformed without a wrinkle. Compared to the traditional stamping, the EMF can significantly reduce the sheet metal wrinkling, improving the deformation height of the sheet metal smooth area.

A numerical simulation study of collision effect on damage evolution in electromagnetic forming (EMF) was presented. EMF technology can greatly improve the forming limit of metal sheet duo to the high rate. However, collision behavior is also an important factor for the formability of sheet. Free form model and conical die model were carried out to study the effect of collision behavior on mechanical properties of Al alloy sheet. The EMF process of 1050 Al alloy sheet was analyzed and discussed by numerical analysis software LS-DYNA. The combined strategy of boundary element method and finite element method was adopted to realize the coupling calculation of electromagnetic field and structural field. Based on the GTN material model, the evolution of void volume fraction of 1050 Al sheet were calculated and analyzed. Comparing the free form model results and the die form model results, showed that the collision behavior could reduce the void volume fraction of sheet, but excessively high collision speed lead to the sheet rebound, which aggravated the damage of material and reduce the accuracy of the product. Therefore, the appropriate discharge voltage in this work was found to improve mechanical property of sheet on the premise of forming precision.

Forming limits of stainless steel tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) are investigated through both testing and numerical simulation. Limit dome height (LDH) tests were performed for 1.2/1.0 mm TWBs with 0°, 90°, 45° weldment orientations and various blank widths. Numerical simulation of the LDH test was conducted with LSDYNA. Since TWB is, in reality, a structure, the forming limits of TWBs in terms of the LDH and failure location should be characterized rather than the conventional forming limit diagrams (FLDs). A localized necking criterion based on the vertex theory was employed to identify the failure sites of TWBs. The localized necking criterion was compiled into a computer program, which processed the output data from LSDYNA. The LDHs and failure locations were computed for various combinations of blank thickness and weldment orientation. The predicted LDH and failure locations were compared with the test results and found to be satisfactory.
