Effect of Variable Blank Holder Force on Rectangular Box Drawing Process of Hot-galvanized Sheet Steel

At first, a series of finite element method （FEM） simulation tests were used to find the critical forming conditions of hot-galvanized sheet steel during the rectangular box drawing processing when constant blank holder forces were applied. 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.

Process window diagram of conical cups in hydrodynamic deep drawing assisted by radial pressure

Major defects in forming of conical cups are wrinkles and rupture.Hydrodynamic deep drawing assisted by radial pressure（HDDRP） is a sheet hydroforming process for production of shell cups in one step.In this work,process window diagrams（PWDs） for Al1050-O,pure copper and DIN 1623 St14 steel are obtained for HDDRP process.The PWD is determined to provide a quick assessment of part producibility for sheet hydroforming process.Finite element method is used for this purpose considering the process parameters including pressure path,and the blank material and its thickness.Numerical results are validated by experiments.It is shown that the sheets with less initial thickness and higher strength show better formability and uniformity of thickness distribution on final product.The results demonstrate that the obtained PWD can predict appropriate forming area and probability of rupture or wrinkling occurrence under different pressure loading paths.

Effect of Friction on the Drawing Process of Hot-Galvanized Sheet Steel

A probe test method was employed to detect the friction condition of the interfaces between tools and blank. 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.

Three-dimensional experimental study of loose top-coal drawing law for longwall top-coal caving mining technology

Based on the loose medium flow field theory, the loose top-coal drawing law of longwall top-coal caving（LTCC） mining technology is studied by using self-developed three-dimensional（3D） test device. The loose top-coal drawing test with shields and the controlled test without shields are performed in the condition without any boundary effect. Test results show that shields will cause reduction in drawing volume of coal in the LTCC mining. The deflection phenomenon of drawing body is also observed in the controlled test, which is verified that the deflection of drawing body is caused by shield. It is found that the deflection angle decreases with increasing caving height, with the maximum value of atailand the minimum value of 0. In addition, the formula to calculate the drawing volume is proposed subsequently.The deflection of drawing body is numerically simulated using particle flow code PFC3 Dand the proposed formula to calculate drawing volume in LTCC is also verified.

Influence of process parameters on deep drawing of AA6111 aluminum alloy at elevated temperatures

To gain a deep insight into the hot drawing process of aluminum alloy sheet, simulations of cylindrical cup drawing at elevated temperatures were carried out with experimental validation. 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.

Processing limit maps for the stable deformation of dieless drawing

Tin bronze wires were produced by dieless drawing. The effects of heating power, the distance between cooler and heater as well as feeding speed on the diameter, the temperature field, and the deformation region profile of the wires were investigated. The results indi-cated that each processing parameter exhibited both lower and upper limits of stable deformation based on the criterion of stable deformation with the diameter fluctuation of ±0.05 mm. Both the temperature and its gradient of the deformation region increased with increasing heating power under stable deformation, but decreased with an increase in feeding speed. As the distance between cooler and heater increased, the temperature of the deformation region increased and the slope of the deformation region profile decreased. The processing limit map of sta-ble deformation exhibited a closed curve and the unstable deformation consisted of wire breakage and diameter fluctuations.

Numerical and theoretical investigations of the effect of the gangue-coal density ratio on the drawing mechanism in longwall top-coal caving

Discrete element calculations of the top-coal drawing process for diferent gangue-coal density ratios were conducted to investigate the efect of the gangue-coal density ratio on the drawing mechanism in longwall top-coal caving.The efects were analyzed for the drawing body,the top-coal boundary,and the recovery of top coal.The results show that for increasing density ratio,the initial drawing body on the goaf side is farther away from the drawing support and its width and volume gradually increase.The upper part of the sickle-shaped drawing body extends near the initial drawing body with increasing density ratio in the normal cycling stage,and the distance from the drawing body to the initial drawing body is its maximum width.The larger the density ratio,the smaller the height of the top coal above the goaf at the end of the initial drawing process.The height of the top-coal boundary decreases with increasing density ratio,until it reaches a limit.In a normal cycle,due to hysteretic development,the top-coal boundary moves toward the goaf until the density ratio is approximately 2.0,which is consistent with the physical experiment results.Finally,increasing the advance length of the working face is benefcial for increasing the overall recovery of top coal.

Wear behaviors and lubrication medium of TiC/Al_2O_3 ceramic wire drawing dies

The suitable test equipment for wire-drawing was designed. Wire-drawing tests were carried on with this equipment for TiC/Al2O3 ceramic wire-drawing die. Effect of lubrication medium and drawing velocity on the drawing force was investigated. The wear mechanisms of the ceramic drawing dies were investigated. Worn bore surfaces of the ceramic drawing dies were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that lubricant media have great influence on the drawing force. The drawing force is the smallest when a grease lubricant is used. But alteration of drawing velocity has scarcely any influence on the drawing force. Detailed observations and analyses of the die wear surface reveal that the most common failure of the ceramic drawing die is the wear in the invariable zone and bearing zone owing to the greater press stresses. Abrasive and adhesive wear are found to be the predominant wear mechanisms for ceramic drawing die.
