This study investigates the effect of preheat temperature, blank holder force and feed rate on the formability of polypropylene based Fibre-Metal Laminates. Finite element method combined with Design of Experiments was used to determine the influence of the forming process parameters. The design of experiments was used to identify the relative influence of each process parameter considered in this study. A reduced set of coupled structural-thermal simulations using Ls-Dyna were carried out using a L9 orthogonal array. Simulations were carried out on the forming of domes. It was found that the blank holder force has the greatest influence to increase the minor/major ratios followed by feed rate and pre heat temperature. A more thorough investigation of preheat temperature illustrated an optimum preheat temperature at 130 °C.

Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are widely used in the automotive industry due to their appropriate strength to weight ratio. This alloy has unique hardening behavior and variable unloading elastic modulus; however, the unavoidable obstacle of AHSS sheet metal forming is springback. The springback is a result of elastic recovery and residual stress. The aim of this study is to determine the proper process parameters enabling the reduction of the springback defects in AHSS forming process. This work was divided into two parts, regarding to the effects of numerical parameters and process parameter on forming AHSS. In this paper, a U-shape forming was used to examine the springback behaviors, such as springback angle, sidewall curl, and thickness, through an experiment. To achieve this purpose, 2k factorial statistical experimental design has been employed to investigate the parameters affecting the springback of forming in AHSS to find out the main effect in the springback reduction focusing on using as a guideline for die design. It showed that the blank holder force is the most influential parameter. The second is the punch radius. However, the blank holder force and punch radius is not simple to adjust in die design, the die radius becomes the important parameter to be used to reduce the springback angle.

Thermoplastic composites are broadly utilized for structural and automotive applications due to their higher specific strength and modulus, higher strain to failure, recyclability, and unlimited shelf life. This study investigates the effects of fabric structure on the forming behaviour of glass fabric reinforced polypropylene composites during the sheet forming of a doubly curved shape. Stamp forming, a novel thermoforming technique, is mostly used for hemispherical forming of thermoplastic composites. The study also investigates the influence of process parameters such as die temperature, blank temperature, and blank holder force on sheet formability. Forming ratio, thickness distribution, material draw-in, and punch force were used for the evaluation of the formability of composites. Conventional and novel plain weave glass fabric reinforced polypropylene composite laminates were fabricated using the film stacking technique. Thermo-stamp forming experiments were conducted on the basis of the Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. Experimental results revealed better forming characteristics by the novel glass fabric reinforced composite than for the conventional glass fabric reinforced composite. Production of defect-free components under high die temperature, low blank holder force, and medium blank temperature process condition was observed.

Friction Performance

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.
