Abstract With the increasing application of the advanced high strength steel material in the automobile industry, the thickness reduction of the bending area has attracted more and more attention since the product strength is highly influenced by the quality of the bending region. In this paper, three major factors: the thickness reduction, the variation of the local bending radius within the bending zone and the tooling mark on the product's surface are investigated through three different loading patterns for a free U-bending profile numerically and experimentally. The results demonstrate a thinning pattern consists of three peaks over the bending region for large bending ratio (R/t=2.14) and only one peak for small bending ratio (R/t=0.5). Corresponding valleys for the local radius are found to match the thinning pattern. Further, use of finite element simulation can successfully predict the location and the severity of the wear on the product. From the experiment results, even if the metal blank only experienced one stroke, the tooling mark contains both adhesive and abrasive wear. A better understanding of the characteristics of the bending zone is achieved and the findings can help in improving the design process for forming strategies.

The Relationship

Increasing demands on vehicle safety and weight reduction in the automotive industry lead to an increased use of “advanced high strength steels” for car body manufacturing purposes. Mentioned material grades are having high levels of tensile strength and are often used in conventional sheet metal forming processes. One of the most significant factors on quality of stamped components as well as its manufacturing process robustness is the friction between tool and sheet material. During the deep drawing process, superposition of tensile stresses is causing enlargement of the sheet surface by a few percent. This effect can damage the zinc layer. Due to that fact, lubricant has to keep tool and work piece separated in order to prevent adhesion and abrasion. For that very reason, sufficient amount of lubricant has to be applied onto the surface texture reservoirs. Furthermore, the viscosity of lubricant is mainly influencing its ability of wetting the surface. The aim of this study is to define the relationship between friction coefficient, surface enlargement and lubrication having different viscosities. In this investigation the same amount of lubricant with viscosity of ϑ=65 mm2/s, ϑ=200 mm2/s and ϑ=400 mm2/s was applied on strips made out of DP1000 and DC04 steel. Then, the strips were stretched uniaxially, and restraining forces were measured by strip draw test considering constant surface pressure and drawing speed. In this paper, the correlation between friction coefficient, viscosity and surface enlargement for two different sheet material grades is shown.

For fuel savings as well as energy and resource requirement, high strength low alloy steels (HSLA) are of particular interest to automobile industry because of the potential weight reduction which can be achieved by using thinner section of these steels to carry the same load and thus to improve the fuel mileage. Dual phase treatment has been utilized to obtain superior strength and ductility combinations compared to the HSLA of identical composition. Recently, cooling rate following heat treatment was found to be important to the tensile properties of the dual phase steels. In this paper, we report the results of the investigation of cooling rate on the microstructures and mechanical properties of several vanadium HSLA steels.The steels with composition (in weight percent) listed below were supplied by China Steel Corporation: 1. low V steel (0.11C, 0.65Si, 1.63Mn, 0.015P, 0.008S, 0.084Aℓ, 0.004V), 2. 0.059V steel (0.13C, 0.62S1, 1.59Mn, 0.012P, 0.008S, 0.065Aℓ, 0.059V), 3. 0.10V steel (0.11C, 0.58Si, 1.58Mn, 0.017P, 0.008S, 0.068Aℓ, 0.10V).

The problem of springback is one of the most significant factors affecting the forming accuracy for aluminum 3D stretch-bending parts. In order to achieve high-efficiency and high-quality forming of such kind of structural components, the springback behaviors of the AA6082 aluminum profiles are investigated based on the flexible multi-points 3D stretch-bending process (3D FSB). Firstly, a finite element simulation model for the 3D FSB process was developed to analyze the forming procedure and the springback procedure. The forming experiments were carried out for the rectangle-section profile to verify the effectiveness of the simulation model. Secondly, the influence of tension on springback was studied, which include the pre-stretching and the post-stretching. Furthermore, the influences of the bending radius and bending sequence are revealed. The results show that: (1) The numerical model can be used to evaluate the effects of bending radius and process parameters on springback in the 3D FSB process effectively. (2) The pre-stretching has little effect on the horizontal springback reduction, but it plays a prominent role in reducing the springback in the vertical direction. (3) The increase of bending deformation in any direction will lead to an increase of springback in its direction and reduce the springback in the other direction. Besides, it reduces the relative error in both directions simultaneously. This research established a foundation to achieve the precise forming of the 3D stretch-bending parts with closed symmetrical cross-section.

The goal of this experimental study is to manufacture a bolted GFRP flange connection for composite pipes with high strength and performance. A mould was designed and manufactured, which ensures the quality of the composite materials and controls its surface grade. Based on the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section X, this GFRP flange was fabricated using biaxial glass fibre braid and polyester resin in a vacuum infusion process. In addition, many experiments were carried out using another mould made of glass to solve process-related issues. Moreover, an investigation was conducted to compare the drilling of the GFRP flange using two types of tools; an Erbauer diamond tile drill bit and a Brad & Spur K10 drill. Six GFRP flanges were manufactured to reach the final product with acceptable quality and performance. The flange was adhesively bonded to a composite pipe after chamfering the end of the pipe. Another type of commercially-available composite flange was used to close the other end of the pipe. Finally, blind flanges were used to close both ends, making the pressure vessel that will be tested under the range of the bolt load and internal pressure.
