The current work deals with numerical simulation connected to forming of a rectangular shaped part made from tailored blanks, having the welding line positioned symmetrical with respect to the part geometry. The objective was to study the relation between the blank holder force applied during forming and the thinning of the parents materials. All the parameters are fixed except the blank holder force, its variation will cause variation of the material thinning. The presented work is trying to demonstrate the important role of the blank holder force on the material thinning during the deep drawing process. It must be mentioned that both materials from the welded structure are having the same thickness (1mm). The Dynaform 5.8.1 software is used to simulate the forming process. The part obtained after each simulation is analyzed and measured to quantify the on the material thinning. All the parameters are maintained fixed except the blank holder force. The obtained results for five different binder forces (5, 10, 30, 50, 70 kN) were compared to realise the behaviour of the tailor welded blanks during deep drawing process. In the final part of this paper conclusions regarding the influence of the blank holder force on the material thinning are presented.

In the deep-drawing process, the application of low-frequency vibration to the blank material has recently been focused on with the aim of improving the friction performance between the die and the blank material. A servo-controlled press machine is suitable for applying low-frequency vibration to the blank during the deep-drawing process, because the punch speed and blank holder force (BHF) are easily controlled as process parameters by using the servo motors. In this study, a BHF with low-frequency vibration was proposed as a technique for improving deep-drawability, which is mainly affected by the friction performance and the lubricant condition. We found that the friction performance between the blank surface and the blank holder was decreased in the case of a BHF with low-frequency vibration since the lubricating oil rapidly flowed into the clearance during the forming process. Furthermore, for a BHF with low-frequency vibration, the punch force and the deformation resistance were lower than those in a deep-drawing test without low-frequency vibration.

A simulation of deep drawing process on the sheet metal was done by using Dynaform, the influence of blank holder force, deep drawing speed and friction coefficient on the forming speed of sheet metal in the deep drawing process were got. The forming speed of sheet metal determines the quality of deep drawing, in the deep drawing process the blank holder force and the deep drawing speed are controllable parameters, the friction coefficient can be intervened and controlled, and it’s a manifestation of the interaction of all parameters, the main factors which influence the friction coefficient just have blank holder force, deep drawing speed and lubrication except the material. The conclusion of this study provides the basic data for the analysis of the lubrication of mould, the study of lubricant and the prediction of the service life of deep drawing die.

Deep drawing process is very useful in industrial field because of its efficiency. The earing of deep drawing process is affected by many material and process parameters, such as the strain-hardening exponent, anisotropic property of blank, blank holder force, the profile radius of die, etc. In this paper, the material anisotropy and process parameters effect on the earing are investigated.

The work presented in this paper refers to numerical simulation related to deep drawing of three parts having different geometry, as follows: square shape, cylindrical shape and semispherical shape. The current paper is trying to prove out the important role of the punch speed on the welding line displacement during the forming process. The punch speed influence is testes for the fallowing values: 100, 300, 600, 800 and 1000 mm/s. The punch stroke is 25 mm, which is the safe drawing depth for all three selected shapes. The parts are made from tailor welded blanks, having the welding line positioned as axis of symmetry. It must be mentioned that both materials from the welded structure are having the same thickness (1mm). The Dynaform 5.8.1 software is used to simulate the forming process. The part obtained after each simulation is analyzed and measured to quantify the displacement of the welding line. The welding line behave differently for each tested punch speed and also for each part shape. All the parameters are maintained fixed except the punch speed. The obtained results for those three shapes were compared to realise the behaviour of the tailor welded blanks during deep drawing process. In the final part of this paper conclusions regarding the influence of the punch speed and of the part shape on the welding line movements are presented.
