6th EUROSPF Conference APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY OF ALUMINUM BLOW FORMING FOR AUTOMOTIVE CLOSURE PANEL
نویسندگان
چکیده
Replacement by aluminum for the closure panels is one of the common methods for lightening car body. However the application used to be limited into shallow drawing parts like hood because of its low stamping formability. As a solution to cover the low stamping formability of aluminum, Blow forming technology of aluminum which is one of the superplastic forming technologies has been researched in Honda for closure panel application. High cycle blow forming technology has been realized for shortening the forming time, which used to be a problem for mass production and the mass production line could be build. This technology has been used for the fender and trunk of 05M LEGEND(05M ACURA RL), which is luxury sports sedan of Honda, and achieved enlightenment with high design performance. In this report, high cycle blow forming technology which is comprised of die technology, forming technology and material technology will be introduced.

FINITE ELEMENT PREDICTION OF DUCTILE FRACTURE IN AUTOMOTIVE PANEL FORMING: COMPARISON BETWEEN FLD AND LEMAITRE DAMAGE MODELS
In sheet metal forming processes with complex strain paths, a part is subjected to large plastic deformation. This severe plastic deformation leads to high plastic strain localization zones and subsequent accumulation of those strains. Then internal and superficial micro-defects and in other words ductile damage is created. This damage causes quality problems such as fracture. Therefore, design...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Investigation of Warm Deep Drawing Process of AA5052 Aluminum Alloy
Aluminum alloys have a high strength-to-weight ratio and proper anti-corrosion properties that are used in the automotive, shipbuilding and aerospace industries. The major problem with forming aluminum sheets is the low formability of aluminum sheets at room temperature. Therefore, in the present study, warm deep drawing (WDD) of AA5052-O aluminum alloy sheets with a thickness of 1mm was invest...
