Investigations on Springback in High Manganese TWIP-Steels using U-Profile Draw Bending

Numerical and Experimental Investigations on Springback of U-bending of DP600 Steel Alloy Sheet

The most prominent feature of sheet material forming process is an elastic recovery phenomenon during unloading which leads to springback and side wall curl. Therefore evaluation of springback and side wall curl is mandatory for production of precise products. In this paper, the effects of some parameters such as friction coefficient, sheet thickness, yield strength of sheet and blank-holder fo...

Influence of draw restraining force on the springback in advanced high strength steels

Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are engineered to have both high strength and enhanced formability characteristics. Yet, the formed components undergo springback due to elastic recovery after removal of the forming tools. This severely affects the dimensional accuracy of the part. Many techniques have been evolved to deal with springback. A simple approach is to design forming tools that c...

Stacking Fault Energy and Microstructural Insight into the Dynamic Deformation of High-Manganese TRIP and TWIP Steels

The dynamic behavior of three high manganese steels with very different stacking faultenergy (SFE) values (4-30 mJ/m2) were studied using high strain rate torsional tests. The hotrolledmicrostructure of the steel with the lowest SFE of 4 mJ/m2 consisted of a duplex mixture ofaustenite and ε-martensite, but those of the other two steels were fully austenitic. The deformedmicrostructures were stu...

Influence of High Strain Rates on the Mechanical Behavior of High-Manganese Steels

In this work, dynamic mechanical properties of three high-manganese steels with TRIP/TWIP or fully TWIP characteristics are studied. High strain rate experiments in the range of true strain rates between ~500 and 1800 /s are conducted using a dynamic torsional testing setup. All the three steels show a positive strain rate sensitivity in the intermediate range of strain rates (up to 500 /s). Bu...
