In the last decades, numerical simulation has gradually extended its applicability in the field of sheet metal forming. Constitutive modeling and formability are two domains closely related to the development of numerical simulation tools. This paper is focused, on the one hand, on the presentation of new phenomenological yield criteria developed in the last decade, which are able to describe the anisotropic response of sheet metals, and, on the other hand, on new models and experiments to predict/determine the forming limit curves.

Abstract The article presents a properly planned and designed tests of the abrasive wear resistance 2024 aluminum alloy strips under friction conditions involving various lubricants. Test were focused on the selection of the best lubricant for use in industrial environment, especially for sheet metal forming. Three lubricants of the Orlen Oil Company and one used in the sheet metal forming industry, were selected for tests. Tests without the use of lubricant were performed for a comparison. The tester T-05 was used for testing resistance to wear. As the counter samples were used tool steel - NC6 and steel for hot working - WCL, which are typical materials used for tools for pressing. The results are presented in the form of the force friction, abrasion depth, weight loss and coefficient of friction depending on the lubricant used and the type of counter samples. The results allowed for predicting set lubricant-material for tools which can be applied to sheet metal made of aluminum alloy 2024.

The Finite Element Analysis

In order to solve the problem existed in the numerical simulation of sheet metal forming for its use the strain-based forming limit diagram as criterion, which has the flaw of dependence on the strain paths, this paper develops the finite element analysis program based on the stress forming limit criterion applicable to the blank plastic forming technique, which follows the stress-strain transformation relationship when the sheet metal is undergoing plastic deformation, chooses Hill’s quadratic normal anisotropic criterion as computational model and selects the commercial finite element code Dynaform as its development environment. Also it be analyzed the finite element numerical simulation results of two deep drawing parts by the developed program module and realizes the prediction of sheet metal forming limit adopting the FLSD as criterion. The stress-based forming limit criterion for the developed program provides a new means to analyze the forming limit for the multistage sheet metal forming.

Explosive Forming

In recent years, aluminum alloy is being used to fabricate car bodies. #5000’s or 6000’s aluminum alloy series is widely employed. However, the sheet metal forming of these materials by the static method, such as the hydro bulge forming and general punching, is very difficult, because the formability characteristics are limited when compared to majority of automobile steels. Hence, the choice of explosive forming is considered for forming these aluminum alloys. Te elongation of aluminum alloy by explosive forming is compared with that obtained by punching. The amount of deformation of aluminum alloy by the explosive forming is found to be larger. In addition, a theoretical elucidation is also done. FDM scheme was employed to solve the numerical simulation. In this simulation the detonation process of the explosive, propagation process and deformation process of aluminum alloy were conducted.

Maximum Thickness

Maximum thickness reduction ratio is used to predict sheet metal forming limit in the numerical simulation of forming process. The maximum thickness reduction ratio under different stain path is not a constant for the same material. The effect of strain path and strain hardening exponent on forming limit is considered. The relationship between the maximum thickness reduction ratio that the material can obtained and the strain path between tensile to equi-biaxial is established. The parameter in the criterion can be determined by tensile experiment combined with numerical simulation of the same forming process. Then the limit strains under other linear strain paths between tensile to equi-biaxial can be determined by the criterion combined with numerical simulation of corresponding forming process. Forming limits of three kinds of sheet metals are predicted with the modified maximum thickness reduction ratio criterion. Good agreement is achieved between the predicted data and the experimental data.

Sheet metal forming technology is the keyword for many industries such as aerospace, aeronautics and automobile industries. Customer expectations, quality and safety requirements and market competitions require sheet metal forming operations to be well analyzed before the process to fulfill all these requirements. In this study, combination of FEA (finite element analysis) and mechanical material characterization were used in order to improve sheet metal forming operations while considering cost and quality. On the material characterization side of the studies, simple uniaxial tensile tests were conducted to obtain anisotropy parameters and yield points along different directions and hydraulic bulge test (HBT) was performed to obtain plastic behavior of the material up to 0.7 strains. Deformation measurements were conducted using optical measurement system GOM-ARAMIS while a 60-ton hydraulic press; Zwick/Roell BUP600 was used to deform the sheet part AA2024-0 aluminum alloy. Effects of process parameters, which are initial material thickness, lubrication and punch speed, on sheet metal formability and forming limit diagrams (FLDs) were investigated. On the study of thickness effects, sheet metals those having 0.81mm, 1.27mm and 1.60mm thickness were tested. Punch velocities of 250mm/min, 500mm/min and 750mm/min were used to investigate effect of punch speed on formability of sheet metals. Finally, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), paraffin lubricated and dry conditions were presented to obtain friction effects. FE analyses were performed to simulate experiments and to obtain friction coefficients of different lubricants. Good correlations were observed between numerical simulations and experimental results.

The multi-step forward finite element method is presented for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming. The traditional constitutive relationship is modified according to the multi-step forming processes, and double spreading plane based mapping method is used to obtain the initial solutions of the intermediate configurations. To verify the multi-step forward FEM, the two-step simulation of a stepped box deep-drawing part is carried out as it is in the experiment. The comparison with the results of the incremental FEM and test shows that the multi-step forward FEM is efficient for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming processes.
