Abstract In this work it is assessed the potential of combining conventional and incremental sheet forming processes in a same metal. This so-called hybrid approach performed through manufacture pre-forming by forming, followed forming. The main objective analyzing strain evolution. induced stage will determine paths, directly influencing strains produced process. To conduct study, processes, w...

The size and length effects of an inclusion on multi-pass copper shaped-wire drawing were investigated. For this purpose, an experimental investigation on optimal die half-angle was conducted. Based on experimental data of optimal die half-angle, wire and inclusion deformations, drawing and hydrostatic stress of copper shaped-wires that contain an inclusion were calculated by two-dimensional fi...

A proximity drawing of a graph is a straight-line drawing where adjacent vertices are represented by points that are deemed to be close according to some proximity measure. A rectangle of innuence drawing is a proximity drawing where the measure is based on the concept of rectangle of innuence. Given two points u and v, the rectangle of innuence of u and v is the axis-aligned rectangle having u...

During the last few years, several sheet hydroforming processes have been introduced. Despite the advantages of these methods, they have some limitations. Of the processes, the two main ones are the standard hydroforming and hydromechanical deep drawing. A new sheet hydroforming die set was proposed that has the advantages of both processes and eliminates their limitations. In this method, a po...

In many industrials field, especially in the automotive sector, there is a trend toward lightweight constructions in order to reduce the weight and thereby the CO₂ and NOx emissions of the products. An auspicious approach within this context is the substitution of conventional deep drawing steel by precipitation hardenable aluminum alloys. However, based on the low formability, the application ...

Much of the attention on simulation software in recent years has been focused on the modelling of bulk metal forming processes such as forging, rolling and extrusion. However, there are numerous applications for the simulation of sheet forming processes and indeed many pressings suppliers in the automotive industry are more advanced in the use of simulation than their forging counterparts. The ...

• Direct comparison of property profiles depending on the manufacturing process and alloy. One-step direct extrusion wires up to a diameter 0.2 mm. DRX is dominant mechanism for texture development in SRX wire drawing, resulting different profiles. Improvement properties significantly by especially after first two passes. This paper deals with impact mechanical magnesium alloys, AZ31 ZX10. For ...
