Drawing-bulging forming is a forming method both deep drawing forming and bulge forming, it has been studied in a centrifuge cover for instance. The forming processes of the centrifuge cover have been analyzed, and the convex hull forming of the forming processes is a typical drawing-bulging forming. The convex hull forming has been analyzed by the theoretical calculations and finite element numerical simulation. The results shows that the convex hull forming should be earlier than the box-shaped forming, in this case, material flow is more conducive to control. In order to avoid the rupture in the forming process of the convex hull, the convex hull forming can be divided into two steps to complete, it can reduce inward deformation resistance of the external metal, and increase the composition of the deep drawing in the drawing-bulging forming, and ease the thinning of the convex hull of the corresponding location. Finally, the reasonable process plan of the workpiece was determined.

A thermal-mechanical coupled analysis of superplastic differential temperature deep drawing (SDTDD) with the MARC finite element code is performed in this paper. Initial drawing blank of an AA5083 bracket was calculated and adjusted according to the simulation result. During the SDTDD simulation, the power-law constitutive model of AA5083 was established as function of temperature and implanted in software MARC through new complied subroutine. Under the guide of the numerical simulation, the die was fabricated and the AA5083 bracket was successfully manufactured via superplastic differential temperature deep drawing. In forming practice, the temperature of female die was kept at 525°C, i.e. the optimal superplastic temperature of AA5083, and the punch was cooled by the flowing water throughout the forming process. The drawing velocity of punch was 0.1mm/s. Results revealed that the formed bracket had a sound uniform thickness distribution. Good agreement was obtained between the formed thickness profiles and the predicted ones.

Finite Element Numerical Simulation

Numerical simulation took root in the last few decades in the superplastic forming field as one of the most dominant tools for process analysis and optimization. The big role of the simulation can be found in many areas concerning the study and the implementation of the forming process. The purpose of this paper is to outline some of the main applications of the numerical simulation in superplastic forming that can be found in the material characterization phase, in the simulation of forming tests and in the optimization of the process. A brief overview of results that can be found in literature is given with special regard to Finite Element numerical simulation of metal sheet Superplastic Forming.

The finite element numerical simulation for the formability of magnesium alloy AZ31B sheets with thickness of 0.8mm and diameter of 140mm has been proceeded to investigate the formability using the current finite element software. Under the condition with blank holder force of 8KN and deep drawing speed of 0.3mm/s at 200, the sytematic analysis and prediction of the thickness change and the forming rule for thesimulation process of the blank has been carried out. Under the same parameter, the drawing parts by deep drawing with a hydaulic machine were obtained and the thickness tested. It has been found that thickness change rules and the forming rules of the experimental results were in agreement with the numerical simulations.

The multi-step forward finite element method is presented for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming. The traditional constitutive relationship is modified according to the multi-step forming processes, and double spreading plane based mapping method is used to obtain the initial solutions of the intermediate configurations. To verify the multi-step forward FEM, the two-step simulation of a stepped box deep-drawing part is carried out as it is in the experiment. The comparison with the results of the incremental FEM and test shows that the multi-step forward FEM is efficient for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming processes.

The approach to total weight reduction has been a key issue for car manufacturers as they cope with more and more stringent requirements for fuel economy. In sheet metal forming, local increases in product-sheet thickness effectively contribute to reducing the total product weight. Products could be designed more efficiently if a designer could predict and control the thickness distribution of formed products. This paper describes a numerical simulation and evaluation of the material flow in local thickness increments of products formed by an ironing process. In order to clarify the mechanism of the local increase in sheet thickness, a 3-D numerical simulation of deep drawing and ironing was performed using finite-element simulation. The effects of various types of finite elements that primarily affect thickness changes in original materials and thickness prediction were investigated. It was found that the sheet-thickness distribution could be predicted if the original material was relatively thick and if an appropriate type of finite element is selected.
