Finite Element Method (FEM) is one of the most useful techniques to analyze problems in metal forming process because of this technique can reduce cost and time in die design and trial step [1]. This research is aimed to predict the optimal parameters in order to eliminate cracks and wrinkles on automotive deep drawing product “Shell Bar RR Impact RH/LH”. The material was made from high strength steel JSC440W sheet with thickness 1.8 mm. The parameters that had been investigated were blank holder force (BHF) and drawbead restraining force (DBRF). In order to simplify the process, punch and die in the simulation were assumed to be a rigid body, which neglected the small effect of elastic deformation. The material properties assumed to be anisotropic, behaved according to the constitutive equation of power law and deformed elastic-viscoplastic, which followed Barlat 3 components yield function. Most of the defects such as cracks and wrinkles were found during the processes on the parts. In the past, the practical productions were performed by trial and error, which involved high production cost, long lead time and wasted materials. From the results, when decreased blank holder force to 30 tons, cracks on the part were removed but wrinkles had a tendency to increase in part area because of this part is the asymmetrical shape. Finally, applying about drawbead restraining force at 154.49 and 99.75 N/mm could improve product quality. In conclusion, by using the simulation technique, the production quality and performance had been improved.

Finite Element Method (FEM) becomes one of the most useful techniques to analyze problems in sheet metal forming processes because of this technique can reduce cost and time in die design and trial step [1]. This research was aimed to predict the optimal parameters in order to eliminate cracks and wrinkles on stainless steel sink product under deep drawing named “DLS50”. The material was made from Stainless Steel 304 with thickness 0.6 mm. The parameters that had been investigated were punch angle and velocity as well as pressure of the punch. In order to simplify the process, punch and die in the simulation were assumed to be a rigid body, which neglected the small effect of elastic deformation. The properties of stainless steel sheet was assumed to be anisotropic, behaved according to constitutive equation of power law and deformed elastic-viscoplastic, which followed Barlat 3 components yield function. The deformation for Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) was predicted by the Keeler equation. Most of the defects such as cracks and wrinkles were found during the process on the parts. In the past, practical productions were performed by trial and error, which involved high production cost, long lead time, and wasted materials. From the prediction results, decreasing punch velocity from 50 mm/s to 8.33 mm/s would reduce the blank shearing zone on the corner bottom of the part and remove cracks in the process. The performing of the stainless sink by decreasing pressure in the process from 2.3 bar to 2 bar, and adjusting the punch shape increasing 5 mm. each side would increase formability of sheet metal in all direction, the reduction of cracking tendency zone out of the part. In conclusion by using the simulation technique, the production quality and performance had been improved.

Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are widely used in the automotive industry due to their appropriate strength to weight ratio. This alloy has unique hardening behavior and variable unloading elastic modulus; however, the unavoidable obstacle of AHSS sheet metal forming is springback. The springback is a result of elastic recovery and residual stress. The aim of this study is to determine the proper process parameters enabling the reduction of the springback defects in AHSS forming process. This work was divided into two parts, regarding to the effects of numerical parameters and process parameter on forming AHSS. In this paper, a U-shape forming was used to examine the springback behaviors, such as springback angle, sidewall curl, and thickness, through an experiment. To achieve this purpose, 2k factorial statistical experimental design has been employed to investigate the parameters affecting the springback of forming in AHSS to find out the main effect in the springback reduction focusing on using as a guideline for die design. It showed that the blank holder force is the most influential parameter. The second is the punch radius. However, the blank holder force and punch radius is not simple to adjust in die design, the die radius becomes the important parameter to be used to reduce the springback angle.

Drawbead are often used to control the flow of material, stress and deep drawing force in the flange area. This paper discussed the drawbead (fully, not fully and without drawbead) that combined with variations in the blank holder force against restriction of material flow and drawbead restriction force of deep drawing with palm oil lubrication. In this paper, analytical and experiments are used to predict the drawbead restraining and deep drawing force. The tin steel sheet with a thickness of 0.2 mm is used as speciment. The results obtained, that the application fully drawbead be very effective in controlling the flow of materials in the flange, as compared to not fully and without drawbead. In the beginning of the process (punch stroke < 4 mm), the magnitude of restraining force and deep drawing force can be increased. And, the magnitude of Radial Stress increases, conversely the magnitude of tangential stress decreased. This can prevent the occurrence optimum blank holder force is recommended in range 4394-8788 N. Comparisons of results between the analysis and experiments show the phenomenon is similar.

Friction Performance

In the deep-drawing process, the application of low-frequency vibration to the blank material has recently been focused on with the aim of improving the friction performance between the die and the blank material. A servo-controlled press machine is suitable for applying low-frequency vibration to the blank during the deep-drawing process, because the punch speed and blank holder force (BHF) are easily controlled as process parameters by using the servo motors. In this study, a BHF with low-frequency vibration was proposed as a technique for improving deep-drawability, which is mainly affected by the friction performance and the lubricant condition. We found that the friction performance between the blank surface and the blank holder was decreased in the case of a BHF with low-frequency vibration since the lubricating oil rapidly flowed into the clearance during the forming process. Furthermore, for a BHF with low-frequency vibration, the punch force and the deformation resistance were lower than those in a deep-drawing test without low-frequency vibration.

This study investigates the effect of preheat temperature, blank holder force and feed rate on the formability of polypropylene based Fibre-Metal Laminates. Finite element method combined with Design of Experiments was used to determine the influence of the forming process parameters. The design of experiments was used to identify the relative influence of each process parameter considered in this study. A reduced set of coupled structural-thermal simulations using Ls-Dyna were carried out using a L9 orthogonal array. Simulations were carried out on the forming of domes. It was found that the blank holder force has the greatest influence to increase the minor/major ratios followed by feed rate and pre heat temperature. A more thorough investigation of preheat temperature illustrated an optimum preheat temperature at 130 °C.

The current work deals with numerical simulation connected to forming of a rectangular shaped part made from tailored blanks, having the welding line positioned symmetrical with respect to the part geometry. The objective was to study the relation between the blank holder force applied during forming and the thinning of the parents materials. All the parameters are fixed except the blank holder force, its variation will cause variation of the material thinning. The presented work is trying to demonstrate the important role of the blank holder force on the material thinning during the deep drawing process. It must be mentioned that both materials from the welded structure are having the same thickness (1mm). The Dynaform 5.8.1 software is used to simulate the forming process. The part obtained after each simulation is analyzed and measured to quantify the on the material thinning. All the parameters are maintained fixed except the blank holder force. The obtained results for five different binder forces (5, 10, 30, 50, 70 kN) were compared to realise the behaviour of the tailor welded blanks during deep drawing process. In the final part of this paper conclusions regarding the influence of the blank holder force on the material thinning are presented.

Automotive Panel

The control of blank-holder force (BHF), is one of the main parameters in deep drawing. Fracture, wrinkling and inappropriate draw-in of sheet edges on certain locations are the main defects that occur due to insufficient and not well distributed restraining force of sheet flow into die cavity by BHF. It was demonstrated that appropriate utilization of draw beads with appropriate geometry and location in die could reduce or even eliminate these defects. Achieving an optimum geometry and location of draw beads are main issues in tooling stage that would cause high cost due to trial and error. In this paper, 2D FE analyses to reach draw bead restraining Force (DBRF) for several usual draw beads geometries were performed. 3D FE analyses of deep drawing process of a rectangular automotive panel with complex and parametric geometry with the presence of draw beads were simulated by the use of ABAQUS6.9 commercial FEM package to reach an optimization of best location and also best geometry. Response surface method with full factorial case was employed for optimization. Simulation results were validated by experimental data of deep drawing.

Forming process of AZ31B magnesium alloy cup parts in pressure-lubricating deep drawing was simulated by Dynaform at room temperature. The technological parameters which influence the wall thickness difference of cup parts were investigated in this paper, including internal pressure, blank holder force and punch corner radius, etc. Compared with the deformation behaviors of magnesium alloy in mechanical deep drawing and pressure-lubricating deep drawing, the wall thickness distribution of cup parts was discussed. The result shows that preferable deformation behaviors can be obtained in pressure-lubricating deep drawing when adopted adaptive technological parameters.
