According the test results, the reasonable alteration scope of initial variable blank holder force (VBHF) was as 1.9-2.3 T. Then, based on the test productions of blank holder force, 12 typical VBHF curves were applied to perform the simulation tests by the simulation software of DYNAFORM. The simulation test results showed that VBHF had great effects on drawing formability of hot-galvanized sheet steel during the rectangular box drawing. However, the different VBHF curves were applied to control the whole drawing and it would get great different effects. At the same tine, the VBHF had great effects on the maximum thick thinning ratio, but had little effect on the maximum thick incrassation ratio. So, reasonable application of the VBHF would greatly decrease the fractures. When the VBHF profile is taken as curve L, the best effect of drawing formability could be obtained. When curve I is used, contrary effect could be gotten. The other types of curves would cause effects between above two types of VBHF curves. Finally, the actual tests were applied to check the validity of the FEM simulation tests. The results show that the FEM simulation tests are good ways for predicting and optimizing the VBHF.展开更多

At the same time a self-developed measurement apparatus to realize the probe test method was also presented. Based on the analysis of force, a correlative friction model was also given. With the self-developed measurement apparatus,the effects of three kinds of lubricating oils which were in common use during the process of sheet steel drawing were studied. By probing the friction coefficient values of different lubricating oils during the drawing process of the hot-galvanized sheet steel (steel brand: ST07Zn), we can see that the friction caused by PK oil was the lowest, so the effect of PK oil was the best. Then PK oil was used as the base lubricating oil and some solid additive powers was added into it to make a new type lubrication (named as L oil).The result of test proved that the new lubricating oil had remarkable effect on the drawing process of hot-galvanized sheet steel.展开更多

It can be used to classify and register information including geometric features of the drawings, and to search appropriate reference drawings matching the given conditions of a new design. The thumbnails of the drawings can be displayed in an order of preference and can be used to zoom and access the PDF file or CAD data of a selected drawing. The thumbnails and the data structure are two key elements of the software.展开更多

Formability of these sheets was tested using a warm forming setup at three diferent temperatures and four diferent die corner radii. Forming limit diagrams(FLD) were generated by measuring the grids of the sheet formed. The results show that the forming limit of AA7075-T6 can be significantly improved when the blank was heated to 140–250℃. It was also observed that as the temperature increases above 140℃, dome height began to decrease. Also the results indicated that both the die corner radius and temperature have a significant efect on the stress-strain curve and warm forming of AA7075-T6 sheets. Thus, with the temperature increased from room temperature(RT) to 140℃, the flow stress decreased and the strain increased, hence, the formability is enhanced. However, further increase in temperature causes decreases the flow stress and strain. Similar changes of the flow curve were seen in die corner radius. Decreasing the die corner radius decreases the flow stress and increase the strain. Moreover, an equation was obtained by establishing correlations between the experimental parameters and their results. In this way, it became possible to make predictions.展开更多
