Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are increasingly utilised in sheet metal stamping in the automotive manufacture. In comparison with conventional steels, AHSS stampings produce higher contact pressures at the interface between the tool-workpiece interface, leading to more severe wear conditions, particularly at the draw die radius. To minimise tool wear using this approach it would be necessary to optimise the shape for a particular combination of circular and high elliptical profiles. This paper presents a methodology to optimise a die radius profile. For this, a specialised software routine is developed and compiled for optimisation of die radius profiles to minimise or achieve uniform contact pressure (wear distribution) using Python computer programming language supported by Abaqus software. A detailed algorithm for the optimisation is explained. A case study based on the algorithm is also discussed.

Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are increasingly used in sheet metal stamping in the automotive industry. In comparison with conventional steels, advanced high strength steel (AHSS) stampings produce higher contact pressures at the interface between draw die and sheet metal blank, resulting in more severe wear conditions, particularly at the draw die radius. The prediction of tool wear patterns for sheet metal stamping die is a highly challenging task as there are many control parameters involved in the production. This paper presents a numerical simulation methodology to analyse the influences of various control parameters on tool wear patterns of a sheet metal stamping die with different die radius arc profiles. The results of tool wear patterns provide informative guidelines for on-site production.

The higher levels degrees of automation for industry 4.0 standards require optimization techniques in production activities including tool wear monitoring. The unmonitored tool may spoil the product if it is worn out more than the permitted levels or micro broken or cracked internally. A novel method suggested in this work utilizes neither extra ordinary calculation nor complex mathematical transformations in tool wear monitoring. This method follows no video capturing and image processing rather follows a simple sound wave monitoring captured at the time conversion process by a microphone. The SER a PCA variant technique with the purpose of used in selecting simply the higher velocity of principal components (PCs) in quantifying the feature extracted while separating noise from sound signals. A SER method is used for the selection of suitable PCs for consideration. The best methods of normalization suitable for the SER method is found and implemented the PCA-SER on signals after filter the signals by butter worth filter to remove noise. This proposed procedure resulted in wide differences and proper annotation in differentiating the degree of tool wear in fresh, slight and severely worn categories.
