The effect of a multistep deep-drawing process with circular and rectangular shapes on the deformation of AZ31 magnesium sheets

This study has mostly focused on the forming limit, microstructural change, and anisotropy that arise from rectangular and circular deep drawing of magnesium sheets. Moreover, this study predicts the change in the material thickness and the forming depth at the first forming process that produces the rectangular cup by the deep drawing of the rectangular blank. Further, by using the rectangular cup that is formed by the first forming process, when the circular and square cups in the rectangular cup are simultaneously manufactured in the so-called second forming process, the effect of the clearance between the die and punch on the change in the product thickness according to forming depth associated with microstructural analysis is investigated. The forming temperature is optimized to maximize formability. The results obtained in this study are utilized as data for predicting the die clearance and the change in the thickness.     

Experimental Investigation on Micro Deep Drawing of Stainless Steel Foils with Different Microstructural Characteristics

In the present work, austenitic stainless steel(ASS) 304 foils with a thickness of 50 μm were first annealed at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1100℃ for 1 h to obtain different microstructural characteristics.Then the effects of microstructural characteristics on the formability of ASS 304 foils and the quality of drawn cups using micro deep drawing(MDD) were studied, and the mechanism involved was discussed. The results show that the as-received ASS304 foil has a poor formability and cannot be used to form a cup using MDD. Serious wrinkling problem occurs on the drawn cup, and the height profile distribution on the mouth and the symmetry of the drawn cup is quite nonuniform when the annealing temperature is 700 ℃. At annealing temperatures of 900 and 950 ℃, the drawn cups are both characterized with very few wrinkles, and the distribution of height profile, symmetry and mouth thickness are uniform on the mouths of the drawn cups. The wrinkling becomes increasingly significant with a further increase of annealing temperature from 950 to 1100 ℃. The optimal annealing temperatures obtained in this study are 900 and 950 ℃ for reducing the generation of wrinkling, and therefore improving the quality of drawn cups. With nonoptimized microstructure, the distribution of the compressive stress in the circumferential direction of the drawn foils becomes inhomogeneous, which is thought to be the cause of the occurrence of localized deformation till wrinkling during MDD.     

An experimental study of contact pressure distribution in panel stamping operations

This paper presents an analysis of the dynamic contact pressure distribution at the sheet metal-tooling interface in normal and defective panel stamping operations. Specifically, the stamping of a 1.27?×?20?×?15?cm rectangular aluminum alloy panel has been simulated using finite-element modeling methods. The modeling results are leveraged to determine the forces acting on sensors embedded in the die structure. Based on these results, a customized stamping test bed has been designed, which incorporates an array of force sensors embedded into the stamping die to enable online measurement of the forces in the die. The force measurements are processed by the thin plate spline numeric surface interpolation method to evaluate a continuous contact pressure distribution map of the die cavity. The pressure distribution in the die cavity in normal and defective scenarios has been presented along with a suggested volume thresholding method for automated defect detection. By leveraging the numeric surface generation method to analyze experimental data, the present study establishes the basis for intelligent tooling and in-process monitoring for improved observability in sheet metal stamping.     

Optimization of the design parameters of modified die in hydro-mechanical deep drawing using LS-DYNA

The use of a modified die enhances the limiting draw ratio compared to that obtainable in a conventional deep drawing operation. Application of these dies, in conventional deep drawing, eliminated the use of blank holder but enhances the tendency of wrinkling in drawn products. In hydro-mechanical deep drawing process, the punch deforms the blank to its final shape by moving against a controlled pressurized fluid. In this paper, a new concept of the application of modified dies in hydro-mechanical deep drawing is presented. The finite element (FE) simulations of a deep-drawing process using modified dies are performed using the 2-D explicit finite element code LS-DYNA, with the aim of optimization of design parameters and the results are compared with the experimental values. The initial design steps in the design of modified die in finite element simulation were taken from the concept of Tractrix die. The use of Tractrix die enhances the draw ratio but simultaneously increases the tendency of wrinkling. In this paper the design parameters of modified Tractrix die for hydro-mechanical deep drawing are optimized for the successful drawing of cups. It is also experimentally verified that by using such modified dies in hydro-mechanical deep drawing, deeper cups are drawn without wrinkling.     

Investigation of sheet metal forming by bending—Part IV: Bending and wrinkling of circular sheets pressed by a hemispherical punch

This paper reports on an investigation of the bending forming processes in circular sheets pressed by a hemispherical punch into a conical die. Both theoretical and experimental considerations are provided. It is pointed out that the deformation mechanism of such a circular plate is different from that of the workpiece in the conical die cup test studied previously in part III of this series [Int. J. Mech. Sci.31, 327–333 (1989)]. The theoretical analysis shows that a central gap appears between the plate and the hemispherical punch at small deflections and disappears when the punch force increases beyond a certain magnitude. It is then shown that the previous approximate analytical treatment of the distribution of punch force is no longer appropriate to the wrinkling of the plate. It is shown that, as in the case of the conical die cup test, the circumferential wave number for the wrinkling mode corresponding to the critical wrinkling load of the present workpiece is four. In addition, the paper reveals that a doubling of the wrinkling wave may occur in the first stage of the forming process.

Study on process parameters and its analytic application for nonaxisymmetric rectangular cup of multistage deep drawing process using low carbon thin steel sheet

Multistage deep drawing process is widely used to obtain various nonaxisymmetric rectangular cups. This deep drawing scheme including drawing and ironing processes consists of several tool sets to carry out a continuous production within one progressive press. To achieve the successive production, design and fabrication of the necessary tools such as punch, die, and other auxiliary devices are critical, therefore, a series of process parameters play an important role in performing the process design. This study focuses on the tool design and modification for developing the rectangular cup with an aspect ratio of 5.7, using cold-rolled low carbon thin steel sheet with the initial thickness of 0.4 mm. Based on the design results for the process and the tools, finite element analysis for the multistage deep drawing process is performed with thickness control of the side wall in intermediate blanks as the first approach. From the results of the first approach, it is shown that the intermediate blanks could experience failures such as tearing, wrinkling, and earing by excessive thinning and thickening. To solve these failures, the modifications for the deep drawing punches are carried out, and the modified punches are applied to the same process. The simulation results for the multistage rectangular deep drawing process are compared with the thickness distributions before and after the punch shape modifications, and with the deformed shape in each intermediate blank, respectively. The results of finite element reanalysis using the modified punches show significant improvement compared with those by using the original designed punch shapes.

Numerical and experimental investigation of pulsating blankholder effect on drawing of cylindrical part of aluminum alloy in deep drawing process

In this study, the effect of a new pulsating blankholder system has been investigated on improving the formability of aluminum 1050 alloy. By using this system, during each pulsating cycle, first, the metal was easily flowed into the die through removing the blankholder force, and then the blankholder force applied by springs was employed to prevent excessive metal flow and wrinkling. Deep drawing of cylindrical cup was simulated by ABAQUS6.7 software. Cup depth, tearing, and thickness distribution of the experimental and numerical analyses were then compared. The results indicated that by using the pulsating blankholder system coupled with proper frequency and gap, the cup depth can be increased and thickness distribution can be improved. Further, good agreement was observed between simulation and experimental results.

WRINKLE LIMIT BLANK HOLDER FORCE MODELS IN SQUARE-BOX DEEP DRAWING WITH VARIABLE SEGMENT BLANK-HOLDERS

Constituting the reasonable control models of the wrinkle limit blank holder forces is the sticking point of the processes of the deep drawing with variable blank-holder forces, especially in the square-box forming. To begin with, a mode of segmenting flange of the square-box into eight zones is put forward according to the fact that the uniformity of flange deforming can be improved by controlling segment blank-holders. Considering the integral influence of shear stress, a new concept, strain relaxation factor is defined. Hereby, the law of distribution of stress and stain in the deforming flange of square-box is achieved. Then based on these mechanical analysis models and the energy principle, the wrinkling flexivity functions of the straight flange and the circle flange are given, and the corresponding formulae of wrinkling limit blank-holder force in these two situations are also educed. In these processes, ply-anisotropy, strain hardening, thickness and friction are considered. In the end, a calculating example is designed to validate the rationality of the formulae of wrinkling limit blank-holder force, at the same time, the influences of the ply-anisotropy exponent and the strain hardening exponent on the wrinkle limit blank holder forces are also analyzed.     

Increasing the drawing height of conical square cups using anti-lock braking system (ABS)

This paper deals with increasing the drawing height of metal conical square cups with anti-lock braking system (ABS). A novel technique enabling higher drawing height than that achieved in the conventional deep drawing process is introduced, and the principle of the process is explained in this paper. Results of experiments conducted using aluminum alloyed Al-1050 blanks of thickness of 1 mm to draw conical square cups are reported here. Measured drawing load, drawing height and thickness distributions were compared with those obtained from the conventional method. The experimental results showed that higher drawing height of the cup can be achieved by the use of ABS.     

Experimental study on multi-stage deep drawing for rectangular cup with high aspect ratio

Multi-stage deep drawing process for rectangular cup using finite element method has been analyzed to understand the main process parameters, to modify the tool configurations for achieving sound intermediate blanks, and to obtain the rectangular deep-drawn cup in the prior study. As shown in the results of the numerical analysis, it has been ensured that the rectangular deep-drawn cup could be obtained. In this study, the tool fabrication and development considering the effects of the intake angle and the ironing operation are performed. The developed tool sets are applied to the multi-stage deep drawing process of this study, and a systematic experiment for the rectangular deep drawing process is carried out. From the first trial in the experiment, several failures are predicted. To solve these failures, the contact surface on the lower die is modified. As shown in the experimental results for the second trial by applying the modified lower die, it is investigated that the failures such as wrinkling and tearing phenomena are not observed, and the excessive deformation behavior due to thinning and thickening effects is decreased. Furthermore, the thickness distributions on the major axis and the minor axis of the intermediate blanks are investigated to be already satisfied by the target (ironing) thickness, respectively. By this systematic approach, it is confirmed that the experimental results show a good agreement with the designed and required configuration of the final product.     

Effects of forming media on hydrodynamic deep drawing

Apart from the punch and the die, a pressurized fluid (water or oil) is used in hydroforming. The presence of such pressure media is the main difference between hydroforming and conventional deep drawing. No comprehensive study has yet been conducted on the effect of forming media on the formation of cylindrical cups via hydrodynamic deep drawing assisted by radial pressure. This study investigated the formation of such cups through Finite element (FE) simulation and experiments. First, the process was modeled numerically using ABAQUS FE software. After simulation, copper and St14 sheets were formed with water and oil as the forming media. The effect of these forming media on thickness distribution and maximum punch force was investigated. By examining the thickness distribution curve of the hydroformed cup, a close agreement was found between experimental and numerical results. Using oil as the forming media reduced thinning at the corner radius zone of the punch and increased the maximum punch force. Changing the forming media does not significantly influence the maximum thickening at the cup wall region.
