Abstract Hemispherical aluminum alloy parts are extensively used in modern aerospace and other manufacturing fields. However, wrinkling and cracking easily occur due to the large deformation of the parts, which leads to a complicated forming process. This research proposes a viscous backpressure forming method for hemispherical aluminum alloy parts. The forming limit diagram of LF2 sheet is established through the forming limit experiments. By the combination of finite element analysis and experimental verification, the forming process of the parts under different viscous backpressure and loading path conditions as well as the distribution law of stress-strain and wall thickness of the parts, are obtained. By comparing with the forming limit diagrams, technical feasibility of this forming process is discussed. The research results show that qualified parts can be formed using the viscous backpressure forming method under the conditions of viscous backpressure loading throughout the process with the backpressure at or above 12MPa. This provides a reference for the backpressure forming of hemispherical aluminum alloy parts.

Sheet Metal Parts

Determining tearing concerns in numerical simulations of sheet metal components is difficult since the traditional failure criterion is strain-based and exhibits strain path dependence. Recently, a stress-based, as opposed to a strain-based, failure criterion has been proposed and demonstrated both analytically for sheet materials (Arrieux, 1987 and Stoughton, 2001) and experimentally for tube hydroforming (Kuwabara et al., 2003). The next steps in this progression to acceptance of a stress-based forming limit diagram is to demonstrate how this failure criterion can be used to predict failure of sheet metal parts in numerical simulations. In this paper, numerical simulation results for dome height testing specimens are presented and compared to experimental data from Graf and Hosford (1993). Reasonable agreement was obtained comparing the failure predicted from numerical simulations and those found experimentally.

Simulation Results

Determining tearing concerns in numerical simulations of sheet metal components is difficult since the traditional failure criterion, which is strain-based, exhibits a strain path dependence. A stress-based, as opposed to a strain-based, failure criterion has been proposed and demonstrated analytically, experimentally in tube forming, and through numerical simulations. The next step in this progression to the acceptance of a stress-based forming limit diagram is to demonstrate how this failure criterion can be used to predict failure of sheet metal parts in numerical simulations. In this paper, numerical simulation results for dome height specimens are presented and compared to experimental data. This procedure was repeated for various yield criteria to examine the effect of this parameter on the ability to predict failure in the numerical simulations. Reasonable agreement was obtained comparing the failure predicted from numerical simulations and those found experimentally, in particular for the yield criterion which has been shown to best characterize the material used in this study.

Hydroforming Process

In metal forming processes, different parameters (Material constants, geometric dimensions, loads …) exhibits unavoidable scatter that lead the process unreliable and unstable. In this paper, we interest particularly in tube hydroforming process (THP). This process consists to apply an inner pressure combined to an axial displacement to manufacture the part. During the manufacturing phase, inappropriate choice of the loading paths can lead to failure. Deterministic approaches are unable to optimize the process with taking into account to the uncertainty. In this work, we introduce the Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) to optimize the process under probabilistic considerations to ensure a high reliability level and stability during the manufacturing phase and avoid the occurrence of such plastic instability. Taking account of the uncertainty offer to the process a high stability associated with a low probability of failure. The definition of the objective function and the probabilistic constraints takes advantages from the Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) and the Forming Limit Stress Diagram (FLSD) used as a failure criterion to detect the occurrence of wrinkling, severe thinning, and necking. A THP is then introduced as an example to illustrate the proposed approach. The results show the robustness and efficiency of RBDO to improve thickness distribution and minimize the risk of potential failure modes.

Alloy 6061

Formability of a material is defined as its ability to deform into desired shape without being fracture. There will always be a need for formability tests, a larger number of tests have been used in an effort to measure the formability of sheet materials. Aluminium Alloy 6061 is a magnesium and silicon alloy of aluminium. It is also called as marine material as it has high corrosion resistance to seawater. In this paper Formability test of AA6061 sheet is done by Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) Analysis. FLD or Forming Limit Curve (FLC) for the forming processes of AA6061 sheets is obtained by Experimental method and FEM. Experimental method involves Deep drawing test of the sheet and ANSYS software is used for FEM.
