Recently, due to the harsh demands for automobile lightweight and safety, more and more attention is focused on the warm forming process of various high strength steel sheet. In the present work, aiming to the formed parts safety problems caused by elevating temperature, take B340/590DP steel as the research object, the dent resistance of the warm-forming parts with free-form surface is studied. Firstly, combing the warm tensile tests under various conditions with the secondary room temperature tensile tests, a secondary yield constitutive model is established for the researched material by the regression analysis method, which reveals the influences of temperature, strain rate and pre-deformation on the secondary yield behaviors. Secondly, based on the plastic deformation theory and the free-form curves and surfaces theory, a dent resistance evaluation system is proposed for the warm-forming high-strength steel parts with free-form surface. Finally, design a dent resistance model experiment, validate the dent resistance of the warm-forming B340/590DP steel specimens, and determine the relevant coefficient value in the proposed dent resistance evaluation system by means of the obtained experiment data. The research results can be used directly to select the reasonable warm-forming process conditions, control and improve the warm-forming parts quality and performances.

A series of warm tensile tests for B349/590DP steel are performed at the stain rates of 0.0004/s, 0.001/s, 0.01/s and 0.08/s in this paper. From the test data, it is found that the effect of temperature and strain rate on material’s deformation behaviors is opposite to that of other temperature ranges. And with the change of strain rate and temperature, the relations between the material parameters such as the work-hardening exponent n, the stress hardening coefficient K and forming process conditions becomes uncertain. Moreover, authors investigated the reasons for above phenomena. Research results demonstrate that it is very necessary to appropriately optimize the warm forming process scheme and strictly control the warm forming process parameters so that both the formability and safety performance are considered simultaneously.

The tensile behaviors of corroded steel bars are important in the capacity evaluation of corroded reinforced concrete structures. The present paper studies the mechanical behavior of the corroded high strength reinforcing steel bars under static and dynamic loading. High strength reinforcing steel bars were corroded by using accelerated corrosion methods and the tensile tests were carried out under different strain rates. The results showed that the mechanical properties of corroded high strength steel bars were strain rate dependent, and the strain rate effect decreased with the increase of corrosion degree. The decreased nominal yield and ultimate strengths were mainly caused by the reduction of cross-sectional areas, and the decreased ultimate deformation and the shortened yield plateau resulted from the intensified stress concentration at the nonuniform reduction. Based on the test results, reduction factors were proposed to relate the tensile behaviors with the corrosion degree and strain rate for corroded bars. A modified Johnson-Cook strength model of corroded high strength steel bars under dynamic loading was proposed by taking into account the influence of corrosion degree. Comparison between the model and test results showed that proposed model properly describes the dynamic response of the corroded high strength rebars.

Ultra High Strength Steel

A hot spline forming process of die-quenched gear drums using resistance heating of a side wall of a cup formed by cold deep drawing and ironing was developed. The side wall having uniform cross-sectional area is resistance-heated by passage of the current in the axial direction, the heated side wall of the drawn cup is ironed and is finally die-quenched. The gear drum was successfully formed and the hardness was between 400 and 500 HV. Not only the formability was improved but also the formed dram was hardly oxidised because of rapid resistance heating.

Roll Forming Process

The roll forming is one of the simplest manufacturing processes for meeting the continued needs of various industries. The roll forming is increasingly used in the automotive industry to form High Strength Steel (HSS) and Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) for making structural components. In order to reduce the thinning of the sheet product, traditionally the roll forming has been suggested instead of the stamping process. The increased product performance, higher quality, and the lowest cost with other advantages have made roll forming processes suitable to form any shapes in the sheets. In this numerical study, a Finite Element Method is applied to estimate the stress, strain and the thickness distribution in the metal sheet with quadrilateral shape, ribs formed by the 11 steps roll forming processes using a validated model. The metal sheet of size 1,000 × 662 × 1.6 mm taken from SGHS steel was used to form the quadrilateral shape ribs on it by the roll forming process. The simulation results of the 11 step roll forming show that the stress distribution was almost uniform and the strain distribution was concentrated on the ribs. The maximum thinning strain was observed in the order of 15.5 % in the middle rib region possibly due to the least degree of freedom of the material.

Springback of a high strength steel (HSS) sheet of 980 MPa grade was investigated at elevated temperatures ranging from room temperature to 973 K. From U-and V-bending experiments it was found that springback was decreased with increasing temperature at temperatures of above 573 K. Furthermore, springback was decreased with punch-holding time because of stress relaxation. In this work, the stress relaxation behavior of the steel was experimentally measured. By using an elasto-vicoplasticity model, the stress relaxation was described, and its effect on the springback of sheet metals in warm forming was discussed theoretically.

Flow Stress Data

Warm forming is a manufacturing process in which a workpiece is formed into a desired shape at a temperature range between room temperature and material recrystallization temperature. Flow stress is expressed as a function of the strain, strain rate, and temperature. Based on such information, engineers can predict deformation behavior of material in the process. The majority of existing studies on flow stress mainly focus on the deformation and microstructure of alloys at temperature higher than their recrystallization temperatures or at room temperature. Not much works have been presented on flow stress at warm-forming temperatures. This study aimed to determine the flow stress of stainless steel AISI 316L and titanium TA2 using specially modified equipment. Comparing with the conventional method, the equipment developed for uniaxial compression tests has be verified to be an economical and feasible solution to accurately obtain flow stress data at warm-forming temperatures. With average strain rates of 0.01, 0.1, and 1 /s, the stainless steel was tested at degree 600, 650, 700, 750, and 800 °C and the titanium was tested at 500, 550, 600, 650, and 700 °C. Both materials softened at increasing temperatures. The overall flow stress of stainless steel was approximately 40 % more sensitive to the temperature compared to that of titanium. In order to increase the efficiency of forming process, it was suggested that the stainless steel should be formed at a higher warm-forming temperature, i.e. 800 °C. These findings are a practical reference that enables the industry to evaluate various process conditions in warm-forming without going through expensive and time consuming tests.
