Mechanical Properties of press-hardened components are significantly dependent on the cooling conditions. In this study the dependence of the mechanical parameters (Rm, Rp0,2, Ag, A 5-h10) on the cooling rate is determined ...

The paper presents the newly developed intuitive graphical user interface for industrial metal forming simulation, IndiForm. IndiForm is extremely easy to handle and can be used as pre- and post-processor independently of a particular ...

Für eine genaue Bestimmung von Fließortkurven, ist die Ermittlung der Fließspannung bei verschiedenen Spannungszuständen notwendig. Neben dem Zugversuch und der Messung von r-Werten finden dabei auch Druckversuche an kleinen ...

In the recent past hot stamping simulation has established itself more and more within the press hardening community. However the requirements on a simulation software are continuously increasing due to an increasing complexity of the ...

The identification of an appropriate design for engineering structures and processes is a development task over a long period of time. Finally, the developed design should be primarily reliable. Focusing on reliability purposes just ...

Due to environmental aspects in automotive industry weight reduction of body parts is one of the main challenges. Increase of safety and comfort requirements accompanied by decrease of weight leads to the necessity of complex ...

Roller hemming is an operation used in the construction of vehicle body parts and follows on from deep drawing, trimming and folding the flange to produce a metal-formed joint between the outer skin part and the inner part of vehicle ...

In sheet metal forming simulation, Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) has long been used to evaluate sheet metal formability. In conventional method, FLD is obtained by assuming linear strain path (Fig.1); while in real production ...

A disadvantage of aluminium is that it is less formable than steel. One method for overcoming this disadvantage is deep drawing at elevated temperatures. In this way the formability of aluminium sheet metal can be improved ...
