Roll forming is a 3D deformation complex process. Stiffness of stands and strength of shafts are the preconditions for the production of precision products. However, the existing roll forming equipment cannot meet the requirements of the production for high strength steel or ultra high strength steel. In order to solve the forming problem of high strength steel or ultra high strength steel, it needs to redesign a set of roll forming equipment. The redesign of roll forming equipment not only makes the production cycle too long, but also results in a high cost. So it is not suitable for the production of forming products. In this paper, based on the existing roll forming equipment a new method of roll forming operation is proposed to optimize the production of U shaped products. The influences of the new method on the roll forming products such as mechanical properties, microstructures and surface qualities, have also been discussed, Based on the new warm roll forming operation, numerical simulation has also been carried out. The simulation result of geometry is in good agreement with experimental result.

An experimental investigation is presented into the failure behaviors of the G50 ultra-high strength steel targets struck by tungsten alloy spherical fragments at high velocity. The depth of penetration and the crater volume of G50 steel targets at velocities ranging from 923 to 1,807 m/s are obtained by ballistic gun experiments. A conic-like crater is observed in the G50 steel target after impact by a tungsten alloy spherical fragment, which is different from that in the experiments of low strength steel targets. It is believed that the eroding and fragmentation of the tungsten fragment during the penetration process give rise to this phenomenon. In addition, several tensile cracks are found both at the crater surface and the crater bottom, which are considered to be caused by tensile stress induced by the superposition of rarefaction waves at some local areas of the impacted interface. Numerical simulations of the penetration of tungsten alloy fragments into G50 steel targets are performed to predict failure features of the targets. It is shown that the numerical results are in good agreement with available experimental results.

Springback is the main defect in ultra high strength steel roll forming. It can be reduced or eliminated by manipulating a suitable parameters, such as, roller corner radius and overbending angles. But it is difficult to attain the optimum parameters during roll forming. This paper deals with the optimization of roll forming parameters in order to compensate the springback, a new optimization algorithm integrating the finite element method (FEM) and adaptive response surface methodology (RSM) is presented. Finally, The springback benchmark of U-profiled section roll forming has been utilized to validate the method, and good results of springback elimination have been obtained.

Effect of the pulse electric current on mechanical properties of an ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) is experimentally investigated. A single pulse of electric current with a short duration of 0.36 sec is applied to the specimen under tensile plastic loading. The experimental result showed that flow stress of the UHSS nearly instantly drops at moment of electric current, following strain hardening until necking of the specimen. Uniform elongation completely depends on the pulsing strain, while ultimate tensile strength slightly changes after electric current.

In recent years, the number of automobiles has been steadily increasing, which has significantly impacted on the society and human life, and led to many social problems such as fuel crisis, environment pollution. Therefore, lightweight designing becomes a focused issue. Lightweight materials application, optimized structure design and advanced manufacturing process are the main ways to achieve the lightweight. However, low plasticity and ductility of high strength steel constrain the application of high strength steel. In this paper, the basic principle of roll forming for automotive parts is investigated, and it is innovatively applied in the hot roll forming process of the ultra high strength steel.
