An environment-friendly pre-film for carbon steel was obtained by using seawater with cerium salt. The influencing factors of cerium salt pre-film were discussed through orthogonal experiments, and the optimum processing parameters were confirmed. Then morphology, composition, the forming process and corrosion resistance of the pre-film were investigated. Analysis by digital microscope showed that the cerium salt pre-film was a blue uniform coating. EDS images displayed that the pre-film consisted of Ce, O and Fe, the major component of the protective layer was a mixture of Ce oxide, Ce hydroxide and Fe hydroxide. The results of electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization and gravimetric measurements indicated that the cerium salt pre-film provided effective protection to the substrate of carbon steel.

The low carbon steel has good ductility that is favorable for forming process, but its low strength leads to limiting their application for forced structures. This paper studied improving strength of low-carbon steel via rolling deformation and dual-phase treatment. The results showed that the dual-phase treated steel had a combination of high strength and good ductility; its tensile ultimate strength reached 740 MPa with elongation at fracture of over 15%, while that of the cold-rolled steel only reached 700 MPa with elongation at fracture of under 3%. Based on the obtained results, relationships between mechanical properties and dual-phase processing parameters were established to help users choose suitable-processing parameters according to requirements of products.

Low carbon steel (usually in sheet form) has found a wide range of applications in industry due to its high formability. The inner and outer panels of a car body are good examples of such an implementation. While low carbon steel has been used in this application for many decades, a reliable predictive capability of the forming process and “springback” has still not been achieved. NIST has been involved in addressing this and other formability problems for several years. In this paper, texture produced by the in-plane straining and its relationship to springback is reported. Low carbon steel sheet was examined in the as-received condition and after balanced biaxial straining to 25%. This was performed using the Marciniak in-plane stretching test. Both experimental measurements and numerical calculations have been utilized to evaluate anisotropy and evolution of the elastic properties during forming. We employ several techniques for elastic property measurements (dynamic mechanical analysis, static four point bending, mechanical resonance frequency measurements), and several calculation schemes (orientation distribution function averaging, finite element analysis) which are based on texture measurements (neutron diffraction, electron back scattering diffraction). The following objectives are pursued: a) To test a range of different experimental techniques for elastic property measurements in sheet metals; b) To validate numerical calculation methods of the elastic properties by experiments; c) To evaluate elastic property changes (and texture development) during biaxial straining. On the basis of the investigation, recommendations are made for the evaluation of elastic properties in textured sheet metal.

In this paper, the effect of strain rate has been considered in the simulation of forming process with a simple form combined into the material law. Quite a few researchers have proposed various hardening laws and strain rate functions to describe the material tensile curve. In this study, the strain rate model Cowper-Symonds is used with anisotropic elasto-plastic material law in the simulation process. The strain path evolution of certain elements, when the strain rate is considered and not, is compared. Two sheet materials, Cold-reduced Carbon Steel (SPCC) JIS G3141 and Aluminum alloy 6112 are used in this study. Two yield criteria, Hill 48 and Hill 90, are applied respectively to improve the accuracy of simulation result. They show different performance when strain rate effect is considered. Strain path of the elements in the fracture risk area of SPCC (JIS G3141) varies much when the strain rate material law is used. There is only little difference of the strain distribution of Al 6112 when the strain rate effect is included and excluded in the material law. The simulation results of material SPCC under two conditions indicate that the strain rate should be considered if the material is the rate-sensitive material, which provides more accurate simulation results.

Riveted joints are a common way to connect elements and subassemblies in the automotive industry. In the assembly process, tubular rivets are loaded axially with ca. 3 kN forces, and these loads can cause cracks and delamination in the rivet material. Such effects at the quality control stage disqualify the product in further assembly process. The article presents an analysis of the fracture mechanism of E215 low-carbon steel tubular rivets used to join modules of driver and passenger safety systems (airbags) in vehicles. Finite element method (FEM) simulation and material testing were used to verify the stresses and analysis of the rivet fracture. Numerical tests determined the state of stress during rivet forming using the FEM-EA method based on the explicit integration of central differences. Light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical composition analysis (SEM-EDS) were performed to investigate the microstructure of the rivet material and to analyze the cracks. Results showed that the cause of rivet cracking is the accumulation and exceeding of critical tensile stresses in the rivet flange during the tube processing and the final riveting (forming) process. Moreover, it was discovered that rivet fracture is largely caused by structural defects (tertiary cementite Fe,Mn3CIII along the boundaries of prior austenite grains) in the material resulting from the incorrectly selected parameters of the final heat treatment of the prefabricate (tube) from which the rivet was produced. The FEM simulation of the riveting and structural characterization results correlated well, so the rivet forming process and fracture mechanism could be fully investigated.

Bimetal composites have wide applications due to their excellent overall performance and relatively low comprehensive cost. The aim of this study is to investigate the forming behaviour of stainless/carbon steel bimetal composite during stamping by finite element method (FEM). In this work, the bonding interface of bimetal composite sheet was assumed to be perfect without delamination during the plastic forming process for simplicity. Uniaxial tensile tests on base metal (carbon steel) and compositing metal (stainless steel) were first carried out, respectively, in order to obtain the tensile properties of each of the component materials required in the forming simulation. Processing variables, including the layer stacking sequence, relative thickness ratios of two layers and friction were considered, and their effects on the distributions of circumferential stress and thickness strain were analysed. The bimetal composite sheet was set as the eight-node solid elements in the developed FEM model, which is effective for evaluating the distributions of circumferential stress and thickness strain, and predicting the high-risk region of necking during the stamping of bimetal composites. The simulation results can be used as an evaluation indicator of the capability of forming machine to ensure the bimetal composite can be safely formed.

Boss forming, which is sometimes called hub forming, has attracted its attention as an environment-friendly rotary forming process to form a circular plate with a hole into a boss shape. An experimental study was conducted to survey the technological possibility of boss forming. Boss forming of A1050-O commercially pure aluminum plate of 10 mm thickness was carried out at room temperature under various working conditions. The effects of the working conditions on the metal flow in boss forming were clarified experimentally.
