Warm stamping techniques have been employed to solve the formability problem in forming aluminium alloy panels. The formability of sheet metal is a crucial measure of its ability for forming complex-shaped panel components and is often evaluated by forming limit diagram (FLD). Although the forming limit is a simple tool to predict the formability of material, determining FLD experimentally at warm/hot forming condition is quite difficult. This paper presents the artificial neural network (ANN) modelling of the process based on experimental results (different temperature, 20°C-300°C and different forming rates, 5-300 mm.s-1) is introduced to predict FLDs. It is shown that the ANN can predict the FLDs at extreme conditions, which are out of the defined boundaries for training the ANN. According to comparisons, there is a good agreement between experimental and neural network results

Forming limit diagram (FLD) is the most appropriate tool used to obtain the safe strain region in sheet metal forming industries. This FLD is based on limiting values of major and minor strains. This Limiting strain is the strain at the onset of fracture / necking in a sheet metal. It is influenced by the material / condition of the material, strain condition in geometrical features of a sheet metal. In this paper, square pattern – square holed, perforated commercial aluminium sheets are considered for the study. The limiting strain for the above perforated sheet metals is predicted using finite element analysis. It is found that the limiting strain is controlled by percentage of open area, ligament ratio and hole size.
