Warm/hot stamping is a promising technology for manufacturing high-strength, lightweight, complex shaped components from high strength aluminum alloys. It is well known that the formability and high post-form strength of aluminum alloys are highly temperature sensitive, i.e. manufacturing operations conducted at elevated temperatures could affect their microstructures, leading to variations in the strength of final products. Therefore, the processing routes including forming operations, secondary fabrications, room temperature storage and high temperature curing cycles must be planned strategically to ensure the quality of final products. In the present research, a novel processing route planning system has been finalized and integrated to an online multi-objective platform SMARTFORMING, enabling processing route optimization on a cloud computing environment. The system consists of two major functional modules: 'Tailor' (processing route optimization) and 'UniForm' (a pilot production line controlled on a cloud based platform for verifying the effectiveness and efficiency of the processing routes).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
