Feature-based metal stamping part and process design. Part II: stamping process planning

In metal stamping development, stamping process planning plays quite an important role for the related die design. As mentioned in Part-I [Feature-based metal stamping part and process design. Part 1: stampability evaluation, 2007, 45, 2673–2695], the feature can encapsulate comprehensive engineering information; this paper proposes to realize stamping process planning based on feature mapping. A feature mapping system, between a stamping design feature space and a stamping process feature space, has been presented. The inherent mechanism of such feature mapping has been investigated with formal representations. The substance of feature mapping is the processing of related knowledge and information. Mapping rules are established to generate the stamping operation and stamping direction. Four mapping manners (direct mapping, conjugate mapping, syncretic mapping, and sequential mapping) are presented for generating the form of process feature, through geometrical information transformation from design features. Meanwhile, considering a stamping process plan as an ordered tree, this paper has introduced how to build a stamping process plan through organizing the stamping operations mapped from design features, and an illustrative example is demonstrated.     

Feature-based metal stamping part and process design. Part I: stampability evaluation

It is essential to devise a representation scheme for the metal stamping part design which allows the designer to capture and reason the design information, and ultimately, to take various considerations into account and make evaluation decisions. In our research, the feature-based approach is used to represent the metal stamping part, and feature-based metal stamping part and process design has been studied and presented in a two-part paper. This is the first of a two-part paper focusing on stampability evaluation. In Part II a feature-based stamping process planning approach is investigated. This paper presents a feature- and knowledge-based stampability evaluation system. Tasks of this research include identification of the aims, criteria, and procedure of stampability evaluation, as well as the formalization of the stampability evaluation knowledge. Stampability evaluation is classified into stampability verification and stampability measurement. Stampability verification is used to determine whether a part design is stampable or not. Stampability measurement can be employed to select a best design from stampable candidate designs. Based on the stamping design feature definition, a stampability-coding scheme with incorporated knowledge has been developed to enable comprehensive stampability evaluation. Finally, a case study demonstrates the feasibility of such stampability evaluation system.     

Application of a feasible formability diagram for the effective design in stamping processes of automotive panels

The objective of this study is to propose a method of process design that uses a feasible formability diagram, which denotes the safe region without fracture and wrinkle, for the effective and rapid design of stamping processes. To determine the feasible formability diagram, FE-analyses have been performed for combinations of process variables that correspond to the orthogonal array of design of experiments. Subsequently, the characteristic values for fracture and wrinkle have been estimated from the results of FE-analyses on the basis of the forming limit diagram. The characteristic values for all combinations within a whole range of process variables have been predicted through the training of an artificial neural network. The feasible formability diagram has been finally determined for all combinations of process variables. The stamping processes of automotive panels to support suspension module, such as the turret suspension and the wheel house, have been taken as examples to verify the effectiveness of process design through feasible formability diagram. A comparison of the FE-simulation results with the experimental results reveals that the design of stamping processes through feasible formability diagram is efficient and suitable for actual processes.     

Influence of material properties and stamping conditions on the stiffness and static dent resistance of automotive panels

The use of thinner sheets and the introduction of new materials has meant that the stiffness and dent resistance of exterior panels has become more focused in the automotive industry during the last years. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of material choice and the effect of varying stamping process conditions on the stiffness and static dent resistance of automotive panels. The experiments were performed on a double-curved panel. Four different materials were included in the study: an aluminium grade, a mild steel, a high-strength steel and a stainless steel. For each material, two different stamping-process conditions were adopted to obtain different strain, stress and thinning distributions in the panels. The same stamping process conditions were applied to all four materials. It can be concluded that the material grade significantly influences the static dent properties. The high-strength steel showed considerably better dent resistance than the other materials. The aluminium panels had slightly better dent resistance than the mild steel panels, although having much lower stiffness. The stainless steel grade had the lowest dent resistance, despite its high yield stress. An effect of the stamping process conditions was also found. Increased blankholding, with consequent increased strain levels in the panels, was generally beneficial to the static dent resistance. The experiments show very little scatter, indicating that the testing methodology developed worked satisfactorily.     

Automotive applications of stampable reinforced thermoplastics development prospects

Reinforced thermoplastics sheet that can be used to produce components by stamping is of particular interest to the automotive industry since it offers a process akin to the conventional methods of forming metal sheet. These materials, presently based on polyolefins and nylons, are now being used to produce under-the-bonnet components such as rocker and timing-chain covers, battery trays and oil pans, and for truly structural assemblies including seat shells, spare wheel compartments, front panels and bumper inserts, at realistic production levels.

Improving the accuracy of contact-type drawbead elements in panel stamping analysis

A finite element modeling technique is proposed to improve the accuracy of contact-type drawbead elements in panel forming analyses, and a performance assessment in terms of part border and thickness predictions is presented in conjunction with panel stamping experiments of two automotive sheets. Inherent model limitations causing incorrect part geometry and thickness predictions are, firstly, evaluated considering blank deformations on a plain–strain section of a stamping die. The influence of omitted drawbead geometry and overestimated drawbead exit thickness are described analytically, and a closed form expression is obtained to correct draw-in model error. Then a sectional deformation model is used to calculate restraint force and drawbead exit thickness for a particular blank and drawbead design. The proposed technique is applied in process modeling of polygon shaped panels made of draw-quality and bake-hardenable steels. Three bead penetrations were investigated in process simulations as well as in stamping experiments. The same blankholder force was applied in all process conditions. Computed draw-in and thickness distributions were compared with on-part measurements using an experimental panel-draw die. It was determined that drawbead models based on force parameters only resulted in remarkably high thickness values at the die entry and mostly overestimated draw-in along panel border lines. An evaluation of thickness distributions computed with proposed technique showed an improved correlation with experiment results of both blank materials and confirmed the use of the drawbead exit thickness as a drawbead modeling parameter. Effects of bead penetration on panel border lines were also simulated in accord with stamping experiments.
