Fukui’s conical cup test is the one of the formability characteristics evaluation for various sheet metals. The formability characteristics such as diametrical ratio, maximum drawing load, depth of cup up to fracture are to be evaluated. This test is related to drawing test. This test can be performed by using parameters such as friction, process parameters and without blank holder. In fukui’s ...

Three types of self-piercing riveting (SPR) joints, i.e., steel/aluminum, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)/ aluminum, and aluminum/aluminum, were constructed using three different top sheet materials with the same aluminum alloy as bottom sheet. The effects material on joint quality mechanical behavior evaluated. materials’ characteristics dominate rivet piercing process consequent interl...

Abstract This paper presents research into the creation of refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) single-lap joints 6082-T6 aluminum alloy and roll-bonded AlCu bimetallic sheet. The latter sheet comprises EN AW-1050A electrolytic copper M1E in Z6 temper condition (after rolling) with a 1:1 ratio Cu:Al layers. parameters involved variable plunge depth time. mechanical properties were determin...

in this paper, welding feasibility between aa1100, aa5050 and aa6082 aluminum alloys and a441 aisi steel by friction stir welding has been studied. mathematical analysis of the heat generation during process showed that the maximum temperature produced in aa6082 aluminum alloy and a441 aisi joint but heat distribution in aa1100 aluminum alloy was higher than the other alloys. the investigation ...

A uniaxial high-temperature tensile test of an AA7075 aluminum alloy sheet was conducted using established induction heating system. Five different types specimens were designed to obtain the stress–strain curves at forming temperatures and strain rates so as construct modify Johnson–Cook constitutive model. The stress states numerically simulated ABAQUS finite element software, triaxiality equ...
