Roll levelling semi-analytical model for process optimization
(IOP, 2016)
Roll levelling is a primary manufacturing process used to remove residual stresses and imperfections of metal strips in order to make them suitable for subsequent forming operations. In the last years the importance of ...
Sensitivity analysis on an AC600 aluminum skin component
(IOP, 2016)
New materials are been introduced on the car body in order to reduce weight and fulfil the international CO2 emission regulations. Among them, the application of aluminum alloys is increasing for skin panels. Even if these ...
The influence of the kinematic hardening on the FEM simulation of Tension Levelling Process
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
Tension levelling is used in the steel industry to remove shape defects present in cold rolled strip. This technology is increasingly being employed by steel makers to level AHSS steels, because conventional roll levelers ...
Towards the automation of the die spotting process: Contact blue pattern decryption
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
Automotive die spotting is one of the most complex and least standardized processes in the tool making process. A spotting expert identifies local contact areas through a blue-paste pattern and the die/sheet contact is ...
Comparison of the hardening behaviour of different steel families : from mild and stainless steel to advanced high strength steels
(Elsevier Ltd., 2015)
Although steel has been used in vehicles from the automotive industry's inception, different steel gradesare continually being developed in order to satisfy new fuel economy requirements. For example,advanced high strength ...
Influence of the pressure dependent coefficient of friction on deep drawing springback predictions
(Elsevier Ltd., 2016)
The aim of this work is to show the influence of defining a pressure dependent friction coefficient onnumerical springback predictions of a DX54D mild steel, a HSLA380 and a DP780 high strength steel. Thepressure dependent ...
Elastic behaviour characterisation of TRIP 700 steel by means of loading-unloading tests
(Elsevier Ltd., 2015)
The elastic behaviour of TRIP 700 steel under plastic deformation is analysed. The analysis is carried out by means of classical tensile test and loading–unloading cyclic tests. These tests have been performed using high ...
Hole expansion test of third generation steels
(AIP Publishing, 2017)
The trend towards the implementation of new materials in the chassis of the automobiles is considerably making more complex the manufacturing of the components that built it up. In this scenario materials with higher ...
Hardening prediction of diverse materials using the Digital Image Correlation technique
(Elsevier, 2018)
In recent years, due to the introduction of higher resistance materials in the automotive sector, sheet metal-forming tool-makers have been forced to deal with more challenging process designs. Therefore, the optimisation ...
Characterization of Ti64 forging friction factor using ceramic coatings and different contact conditions
(Elsevier, 2017)
Hot forging processes are highly influenced by the contact conditions between the billet and the dies. A wrong definition of the contact conditions may lead to wrong predictions of the final component geometry, the quantity ...
