High Speed Forming

Electromagnetic forming is a high speed forming process, wherein the forming pressure is created by high energy density electromagnetic pulse. Besides direct shaping there are other application areas as well, so electromagnetic plastic forming is a potential field of creating joints between tube and rod-like components. Connecting components of dissimilar materials is an increasing demand in the manufacturing process of structures in the automotive industry. The application of new technologies, such as electrodynamic, especially electromagnetic forming, is a possible method to satisfy these demands. The article summarizes the most important fundamentals of electromagnetic forming; in particular, tube-rod joints, the main types of such joints; interference-fit and form-fit joints are described. Experiments, which were carried out producing tube-rod joints with electromagnetic forming, are also introduced. A new type of form-fit joints for tube-rod connections has been developed, which can withstand not only tensile loads but also torsion. Experiments and mechanical tests have proved the applicability of this kind of joints.

Forming Process

In the field of sheet metal forming traditional forming processes are used. However, a quasi-static forming process combined with a high speed forming process can enhance the forming limits of a single one. In this paper, the investigation of the process chain quasi-static deep drawing – electromagnetic forming by means of a new coupled damage-viscoplasticity model for large deformations is performed. The finite strain constitutive model, used in the finite element simulation combines nonlinear kinematic and isotropic hardening and is derived in a thermodynamically consistent setting. The anisotropic viscoplastic model is based on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient in the context of hyperelasticity. The kinematic hardening component represents a continuum extension of the classical rheological model of Armstrong–Frederick kinematic hardening. Hill-type plastic anisotropy is modelled by expressing the yield surface as a function of second-order structure tensors as additional tensor-valued arguments. The coupling of damage and plasticity is carried out in a constitutive manner according to the effective stress concept. The constitutive equations of the material model are integrated in an explicit manner and implemented as a user material subroutine in the commercial finite element package of LS-Dyna with the electromagnetical modul. Aim of the work is to show the increasing formability of the sheet by combining quasi-static deep drawing processes with high speed electromagnetic forming process.

High Repeatability

Electromagnetic forming is a non-conventional forming process and is classified as a high-speed forming process. It provides certain advantages as compared to conventional forming processes: improved formability, high repeatability and productivity, reduction in tooling cost and reduction of springback and of wrinkling. However, various process parameters affect the performance of the electromagnetic forming system. Finite element simulations are very useful to optimize a process because they can reduce time and costs. With the aim of investigating the effects of the process parameters on the deformed blank geometry, finite element simulations of an electromagnetic sheet bulging test have been performed in this work. Furthermore the role of first impulse of discharged current is also investigated.

Forming Methods

Forming processes are defined as to modify the shape of a work piece by deforming it, without the removal of material. To overcome a number of longstanding problems in conventional forming methods such as low production rates, difficulty in forming light weight components etc., an alternate approach of electromagnetic forming process is introduced. Electromagnetic forming (EMF) is a high speed forming process used to form thinwalled work pieces (usually sheets and tubes) that have high electrical conductivity, such as aluminium, copper etc. Electromagnetic tube compression processes, the design of an experimental set up for electromagnetic tube compression process are discussed in detail in this paper

Explosive Forming

Electromagnetic forming (EMF) is a typical high speed forming process using the energy density of a pulsed magnetic field to form work sheets made of metals with high electrical conductivity like aluminium alloys, which have low formability at low strain rate. Under high velocity forming, metallic materials exhibit an increase of flow stress and ductility with increasing deformation rate. Therefore, materials of lower ductility can be deformed to higher strains using high strain rate deformation processes such as electromagnetic or explosive forming techniques. In this paper analysis of an electromagnetic sheet metal forming process is carried out by using commercial finite element software LS-DYNA®, which incorporates a sequential coupling method involving electromagnetic field, structural and thermal solutions. Study of process parameters for forming aluminium ice tray (used in refrigerator) by Electromagnetic forming process has been carried out, simulation was done involving a die, Al worksheet and a spiral coil.

Electromagnetic Forming (EMF) is a high-speed forming process that can be applied for shaping, joining and cutting of workpieces made of electrically conductive material eg. aluminium. This paper proposes a dual electromagnetic forming method. Energy efficiency of the dual electromagnetic forming is compared with the single sided electromagnetic forming using FEM simulations. In uniform pressure rectangular coil, the top layer of the coil assists in the deformation of the workpiece while the bottom layer hinders the workpiece deformation.To make the bottom layer of the coil also to assist in the deformation of the workpiece, a uniform pressure rectangular coil is designed and placed between the two sheet metal workpiece. The efficiency of the two processes are compared by determing the maximum deformation obtained for each case.

Effective Manner

Cold forging is a high-speed forming technique used to shape metals at near room temperature. and it allows high-rate production of high strength metal-based products in a consistent and cost-effective manner. However, cold forming processes are characterized by complex material deformation dynamics which makes product quality control difficult to achieve. There is no well defined mathematical model that governs the interactions between a cold forming process, material properties, and final product quality. The goal of this work is to provide a review for the state of research in the field of using acoustic emission (AE) technology in monitoring cold forging process. The integration of AE with machine learning (ML) algorithms to monitor the quality is also reviewed and discussed. It is realized that this promising technology didn’t receive the deserving attention for its implementation in cold forging and that more work is needed.
