The hydroforming process of the aluminum alloy panel was simulated by the software DYNAFORM. The effects of process parameters (blank holder force, depth of panel and height of draw bead) on springback of the aluminum alloy were investigated. The max springback of the panel was analyzed by weighted scoring method. Then the process parameters were synthetically optimized for the max positive and negative springback. The results showed that the height of draw bead affects obviously the comprehensive springback of the panel. The optimization of the process parameters obtained by the orthogonal experiment can effectively reduce the max springback of the panel.

Experimental research on stamping of wrought aluminum alloy has been an important issue at home and abroad. In this paper, taking stamping of aluminum alloy hemispherical components for example, the effects of blank holder force (BHF) on stamping forming process of aluminum alloy are explored by methods of experiments and numerical simulation. Through experiments, the forming laws of hemispherical components are found out. The research shows that the BHF has significant effects on the quality of stamping components and reasonable BHF can greatly improve the formability of hemispherical components. Additionally, by applying simulation software in stamping, the development circle of product and its moulds can be shortened, and product quality and its competitiveness in the market can be improved.

In recent years, several sheet hydroforming methods have been introduced by researchers. Despite the advantages of these methods, they have some limitations. The author [1] already proposed a novel sheet hydroforming method that is a combination of the standard and hydromechanical sheet hydroforming processes. The proposed method has the advantages of both processes and eliminates their limitations. In this method, a polyurethane diaphragm was used as a part of die-set to control the blank holder force. In this paper, the effect of polyurethane hardness on the effective parameters of the combined sheet hydroforming die-set such as forming pressure, thickness distribution of formed cup and maximum thinning zone of formed cup was investigated experimentally. It was shown that a softer polyurethane needs to a higher oil pressure to prevent wrinkling in the flange of the part. And tearing occurs at higher level of forming pressure. Also it was shown that by softer polyurethane, better thickness distribution was obtained.

The effects of stamping process parameters (blank thickness, blank holder force, friction coefficient, die clearance) on the formability of an automobile reinforced plate were investigated. The process parameters are optimized based on the results of orthogonal testing. The optimal process parameters were obtained by simulation result analysis of variance. The accuracy of numerical simulation is verified by the experiment, which provides guidance for the actual production.

This work focuses on the numerical simulation of warm deep drawing operation of car sump oil made with Al 6061-T6 aluminum alloy for the purpose of process optimization. The thermo visco-plastic behavior with damage effect of the material is described by the Johnson-Cook (JC) model. The JC model parameters for the Al 6061-T6 Aluminum alloy were exploited. Numerical simulation of the deep drawing operation was performed with the use of the ABAQUS FE software thanks to the dynamic Explicit Temperature-Displacement algorithm. The design of the different tools is obtained on the basis of the geometry of the finished product. Designing of punch, die and blank holder is performed using CATIA 3D CAD software. The warm forming method involves the heating of the blank holder and the die to a certain temperature, whereas, the punch is kept at room temperature. In this study, predefined temperatures of the die and blank holder and punch speed will be investigated among other stamping parameters. The computed damage evolution curves for a given set of the process parameters are retrieved at the end of the simulation to determine suitable forming conditions. It can be noted that the slower the damage evolution achieved within the blank, the more appropriate the process parameters. Thus, by increasing strain rate, main cracks change location.

In this paper, local-thickened plates are adopted for aluminum alloy square cups stamping with relatively low values of residual stresses and small radius at the bottom corner. By utilizing numerical and experimental methods, the effects of process parameters and plate local thickening on the residual stress distribution of hot stamped aluminum alloy square cups are studied. Furthermore, the influence of plate local thickening on the radius of bottom corner of square cups is also investigated. The results showed that with an increase in the forming temperature, blank holder force and die corner radius, residual stresses in hot stamped square cups can be reduced. The same effect can be achieved by decreasing the die entrance radius. As opposed to the flat plates, using local-thickened plates can not only reduce the residual stresses values in hot stamped square cups, but also decrease the radius at the bottom corner of square cups. When the optimized thickening scheme of plate is used, the smaller radius at the bottom corner, the lower residual stresses in the square cups are obtained.

A complicated auto panel forming is nonuniform plastic course and it is critical for dynamic reasonable the process parameters to avoid and decrease non-crackle, non-wrinkle, thickness uniformity forming defects. So, the forming of auto panel right beam is simulated by finite element software while the blank holder force and depth, die radius, punch radius of draw bead are independent variables, acquiring forming quality object (the data about the crack, winkle and the thinning)by orthogonal experiment. And the weight of multi-object is calculated by analytic hierarchy process, the grey relational generating and the grey rational grade of multi-objective are all calculated by the grey theory system while forming course is subdivision.Then, the dynamic optimization process parameters of blank holder force and draw bead restrain force are attained. Furthermore, employing the dynamic regulation-control optimization data to numerically simulate the auto panel forming. The conclusion demonstrates that the forming quality is obviously increased by the optimized process parameters.

In the internal thread extrusion forming, if the process parameters are not selected properly, the extrusion torque will increase, the extrusion temperature will be too high, or even the tap will break. In order to obtain effective process parameters under certain working conditions, this paper uses a combination of numerical simulation and process experiment to analyze the influence of the bottom hole diameter, extrusion speed, and friction factor on the extrusion torque and extrusion temperature. Through an orthogonal experiment, the significant influence law of different process parameters on the extrusion torque and extrusion temperature was studied, and the order of their influence was determined. Based on the optimal process parameters, numerical simulations and process tests were carried out, and the extrusion effect and related parameters were compared and analyzed. The results show that the extruded thread has clear contour, uniform tooth pitch, complete tooth shape, and good flatness. Compared with before optimization, the maximum extrusion torque has been reduced by 37.15%, the maximum temperature has been reduced by 29.72%, and the extrusion quality has been improved. It shows that the optimized method and optimized process parameters have good engineering practicability.

In this paper, the flow rule of metal during the deep drawing of the non-symmetry workpieces was investigated by means of the numerical simulation of deep-drawing processes of square cup under bilateral constrained conditions. The numerical simulation was carried out by advanced analysis software Dynaform5.5. SUS304 stainless steel was used as the deforming materials. The influence of different friction coefficient and blank holder force on the drawing forming quality was analyzed. The results showed that the material flow in different areas has different trends with increase of friction coefficient and blank holder force.
