AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets are usually performed at high temperatures of 200 to 250°C due to their unusual hexagonal close-packed structure and low ductility at room temperature. In this study, to predict the spring-back of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets in a roll forming process subjected to high temperatures, so the spring-back phenomenon consider in various temperature using an explicit finite element code. Finally, the roll forming process for a magnesium alloy sheet at high temperatures was performed to verify the spring-back angle, which was then compared with the spring-back angle predictions of the FE simulation.

The products manufactured by the Sheet metal process are widely used in automobile and aircraft industries due to their high strength and superior surface characteristics. In this study, to improve the formability of the lamp-can, forming process was conducted using the Lancing engineering method. Lancing process is a press operation in which the work-piece is sheared and cut with one strike of the die to be a single-line cut or split, without removing any metal. Finite element method (FEM) was used to predict and investigate the improvement of formability of a lam-can with lancing process. As a result, it is believed that the Lancing process used in lamp-can forming would be helpful in the development of high-quality forming products because it can make material flow run well.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of the scatter in mechanical properties and stamping process parameters on an industrial sheet metal forming process. Based on a previously optimized forming process, a robustness analysis has been performed. The robustness analysis clearly showed production problems for the part not initially revealed by the analysis of the process that was trimmed for “optimality”. The sensitivity of the results on the variation of the parameters was evaluated. It was shown that all parts of the sheet do not react equally sensitively to the variation of the input. Zones of critical response could be identified in accordance with the zones on the actual part that showed failure in mass production. The results reveal that the common practice of performing evaluations with fixed safety margins is non-effective and hence very dangerous, or is extremely conservative and thus costly. The application of stochastic simulation methods reduces the need for wide safety margins while simultaneously increasing the reliability of the process by incorporating uncertainty into the simulation

Using a new method in this study, we were able to solve the problem with the existing method, which was panel manufacturing after selecting the most appropriate material from the possible manufacturing material. The possibility of application in the practical industry site and validity were verified. This study involves analyzing the stamping process problems by using AutoForm commercial software, which used the static-implicit method. According to this study, the results of the simulation will provide engineers good information to access the die design for optimization.

Cold roll-forming of metal sections is a significant field in advancing forming of strip metal, and the forming processes are influenced by many factors. The scientific design of passes is worked out by combining theoretical analysis with finite element analysis, in accordance with the principles of cold roll-forming; thus the desired high-quality bending sections are achieved through a combination of theory and practice. This study mainly addresses the velocity of the rolls for sheets that have angle sides, and the spring-back of SGARC 440 alloy sheets in the roll forming process, where we use DEFORM to simulate the sheet.
