Loading path is one of key factors that influence the formability of sheet metal forming processes. In this study, the effect of several kinds of loading paths on the thickness distribution of TRIP steel is investigated in a deep drawing process based on a constitutive model accompanying the strain-induced martensite transformation. A kinetic model of transformation, that describes the relationship between the thickness distribution of a deep drawing process and the martensite transformation, is used to calculate the martensite volume fraction. The influences of loading path on the martensite transformation are also evaluated through the change in the stress-strain state, the forming temperature, the transformation driving force, the nucleation site probability and the shear-band intersection controlled by the stress-strain state and forming temperature at the minimum thickness location in the formed part.

Incremental Sheet Metal Forming

Incremental sheet metal forming is an evolving process, which is suitable for the production of limited quantities of sheet metal components. The main advantages of this process over conventional forming processes are reduced setup cost and manufacturing lead time, as it eliminates the need of special purpose dies, improves formability, reduces forming forces, and provides process flexibility. The objective of this work is to investigate a new hybrid-forming process, which intends to combine incremental sheet metal forming with deep drawing process and has been named as “incremental stretch drawing.” A number of setups and fixtures were developed to carry out experiments to achieve incremental stretch drawing and understand the mechanism of the process. This process addresses some of the challenges of incremental sheet metal forming, that is, limited formability in terms of forming depth, especially at steeper wall angles and subsequent thinning of sheet. It is observed that the proposed process is able to reduce thinning as much as about 300%, considering same forming depth for incremental sheet metal forming and incremental stretch drawing processes. Improvement in formability, in terms of forming depths, also has been observed to be near about 100% in particular cases.

Design Variables

In sheet metal forming most of the problems are multi objective problems, generally characterized by conflicting objectives. The definition of proper parameters aimed to prevent both wrinkles and fracture is a typical example of an optimization problem in sheet metal forming characterized by conflicting goals. What is more, nowadays, a great interest would be focused on the availability of a cluster of possible optimal solutions instead of a single one, particularly in an industrial environment. Thus, the design parameters calibration, accomplishing all the objectives, is difficult and sometimes unsuccessful. In order to overcome this drawback a multi-objectives optimization procedure based on Pareto optimal solution search techniques seems a very attractive approach to deal with sheet metal forming processes design. In this paper, an integration between numerical simulations, response surface methodology and Pareto optimal solution search techniques was applied in order to design a rectangular deep drawing process. In particular, the initial blank shape and the blank holder force history were optimized as design variables in order to accomplish two different objectives: reduce excessive thinning and avoid wrinkling occurrence. The steps of the optimization procedure include: 1) application of Central Composite Design (CCD) for the identification of the necessary data over the domain of variation of the design variables; 2) numerical simulations of the samples identified by CCD; 3) development of a response surface model to interpret the final objectives as functions of the design variables; 4) Pareto optimal solution analysis to reach the most performing design variables. The final aim is to develop a predictive tool able to identify a sort of process window for the analyzed process also minimizing the computational effort in particular with respect to mono-objective optimization techniques or traditional trial and error methods. Many possible technological scenarios were investigated by the implemented procedure and a set of reliable solutions, i.e. able to satisfy different design requirements, were obtained.

Deep drawing process is one of the important processes in sheet metal forming. One of the challenge that faces the deep drawing process is selecting the optimal values of process parameters for the deep drawing process. In order to find the optimum values of these parameters, it is necessary to study their influence on the deformation behaviour of the sheet metal. This paper develops a simulation model for deep drawing process based on Simufact sheet metal forming module to study the effect process parameters on the deep-drawing characteristics. The study also obtained the distribution of strain on the drawn product. Three process parameters are considered in this study namely, punch radius, die radius and clearance, the effect of these process parameter on the required force as well as on the quality of the product are investigated.

Since conical parts have wide applications in the industry and forming these parts is one of the most complex and difficult fields in sheet metal forming processes, the study on different methods in forming these parts can be useful. Hydroforming and conventional multistage deep drawing are two deep drawing processes which have been used to form conical parts. Hydroforming deep drawing is one of the special deep drawing processes which have been introduced in order to overcome some inherent problems in the conventional deep drawing with rigid tools. In the present work, an experimental program has been carried out to compare the drawing load variation and maximum drawing load in forming pure copper conical-cylindrical cups with the thickness of 2.5 mm by hydroforming and conventional multistage deep drawing processes. The results of the study demonstrate that drawing load variation is more uniform in the forming of conical parts by hydroforming deep drawing process. The maximum drawing load for drawing copper blank occurs at a higher amount in hydroforming process.

Abstract A substantial increase in demand on the sheet metal part usage in aerospace and automotive industries is due to the increase in the sale of these products to ease the transportation. However, due to the increase in fuel prices and further environmental regulation had left no choice but to manufacture more fuel efficient and inexpensive vehicles. These heavy demands force researchers to think outside the box. Many innovative research projects came to replace the conventional sheet metal forming of which single point incremental forming is one of them. SPIF is the emerging die-less sheet metal forming process in which the single point tool incrementally forces any single point of sheet metal at any processing time to undergo plastic deformation. It has several advantages over the conventional process like high process flexibility, elimination of die, complex shape and better formability. Previous literature provides enormous research on formability of metal during this process, process with various metals and hybrid metals, the influence of various process parameter, but residual formability after this process is untouched. Thus, the aim of this paper is to investigate the residual formability of the formed parts using single point incremental forming and then restrike with a conventional tool. The common process parameters of single point incremental forming were varied, and residual formability was studied through the conventional process. The strain and thickness distribution were measured and analyzed. In addition, the forming limit of the part was plotted and compared.
