A thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model for warm forming of dual-phase steel (DP) laser tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) was established based on ABAQUS software. The isothermal deep drawing of rectangular cups at elevated temperatures and the non-isothermal deep drawing at the temperature of 400°C were simulated. The distributions of temperature and differences between the isothermal and non-isothermal conditions were discussed. The results show that the temperature has great effect on the warm forming of DP-TWBs, and it achieves the best formability at the forming temperature of 400°C, and the non-isothermal deep drawing can further improve the warm formability.

In this paper we consider the problem of automatically determining optimal drawbead sizes and blankholder forces when designing draw dies for stamped parts. A network of software agents, each implementing a different numerical optimization technique, was used in combination with metal forming simulation software to optimize process variables. Three test cases were used of varying complexity from a rectangular cup to the NUMISHEET’99 automobile front door panel simulation benchmark. It was found that the performance of each agent (and optimization technique) depended strongly on the complexity of the problem. More interestingly, for a given amount of computational effort, a network of collaborating agents using different optimization techniques always outperformed agents using a single technique in terms of both the best solution found and in the variance of the collection of best solutions.
