A temperature-related constitutive model specific to the temperature range from 350 °C to 500 °C was established and used for the numerical simulation. The trial and numerical simulation were conducted to clarify the quantitative characteristics of forming defects and to analyze the effects of process parameters on the forming defects. Results show that the rupture situation is ameliorated and the springback is eliminated in the aluminum alloy hot stamping. The wrinkling severity decreases with increasing blank holder force (BHF), but the BHF greater than 15 kN causes the rupture at the deepest drawing position of workpiece. The forming defects are avoided with lubricant in the feasible ranges of process parameters: the BHF of 3 to 5 kN and the stamping speed of 50 to 200 mm/s.展开更多

The influence of four important process parameters, namely,punch velocity, blank holder force(BHF), friction coefficient and initial forming temperature of blank on drawing characteristics(i.e.minimum thickness and thickness deviation) was investigated with the help of design of experiments(DOE), analysis of variance(ANOVA) and analysis of mean(ANOM). Based on the results of ANOVA, it is shown that the blank holder force has the greatest influence on minimum thickness. The importance of punch velocity for thickness deviation is 44.35% followed by BHF of 24.88%,friction coefficient of 15.77% and initial forming temperature of blank of 14.995%. After determining the significance of each factor on forming characteristics, how the individual parameter affects characteristics was further analyzed by ANOM.展开更多

The effect of the process parameters, including forming temperature, punching velocity, friction coefficient, and blank holder force(BHF) on formability was quantified using Taguchi design, analysis of variance(ANOVA) and mathematical statistics. The finite element(FE) model has been established in software Pamstamp for simulation and analysis of their effects on the minimum thickness and thickness variation of the hot-stamped component. The major factors influencing the minimum thickness of the hot-stamped part has been found to be BHF and friction coefficient with influence significance of 35.3% and 34.88%, respectively. Additionally, punch velocity and BHF affect the thickness deviation significantly with influence significance of 40.43% and 35.42%, respectively. Furthermore, a serious thinning occurs on the punch corner region of the hot-stamped cup when the BHF is larger than 2.4 kN. The thickness deviation of the hotformed cup has been found to be firstly decreased and then increased with the increase of punch velocity. Low friction coefficient between punch and blank led to crack at bottom centre of the cup. Moreover, different type, phenomenon and mechanism of defects occurring during hot stamping process, such as crack and wrinkling, were discussed. The crack mode was dimple-dominated ductile fracture, which was induced by micro-void nucleation, growth and coalescence.展开更多
