Abstract |
Sheet metal parts involve cutting and non-cutting operations. This work shall focus on ‘forming’ as a non-cutting operation that accounts for a significant volume of parts processed using this operation. Forming, being a tricky operation to deal with, is best approached using CAE solvers. The behavior of the material during this operation depends upon the material properties and is manifested by the Forming Limit Diagram Curve. The feature like radius on the die-block, velocity of ram, use of lubricant, blank holding pressure, etc plays a key role in delivering a defect-free component. Hyper Form shall be deployed as a solver for the given problem case. Mathematical tools shall be used for preliminary investigation for finding tonnage. Validation shall be realized using physical experimentation during trials or testing. |
