Sheet-bulk metal forming is a new production process capable of performing deep-drawing and massive forming steps in a single operation. However, due to the high forming forces of the forming process, continuous process ...

Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of its mechanical, chemical and physical properties. Metallic materials are comparatively ductile and easy to process. Fibre reinforced plastics are very stiff ...

Due to the increasing demand for vehicles with a low fuel consumption and consequently low emissions, lightweight construction is an important task in the automotive industry. High-strength profile parts reduce the total ...

The paper presents application of fracture behaviour characterisation results of a dual-phase sheet steel DP600 to an FEA of its deep-drawing for shear fracture prediction. The characterisation results were obtained with ...

For the realization of liquid lubricant free forming processes different approaches are conceivable. The priority program 1676 "Dry forming - Sustainable production through dry machining in metal forming" addresses this ...
