Taking Al–Li–S4–T8 Al–Li alloy as the study object, based on the stretching and deforming characteristics of sheet metals, this paper proposes a new approach of critical orange peel state characterizations on the basis of the precise measurement of stretch-forming surface roughness and establishes the critical criterion for the occurrence of orange peel surface defects in the stretch-forming pr...

This paper proposes a method of evaluating the fatigue life of a refrigeration compressor reed valve, given the applied stresses as might be computed by a valve simulation. Mean and alternating values of equivalent stresses (e.g. Von Mises) are plotted in the Haigh diagram. Various choices of models are considered for the safe area of the diagram. This method takes into account surface finish, ...

In Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) strains can be obtained well above the Forming Limit Curve (FLC) that is applicable to common sheet forming operations like deep drawing and stretching. This paper presents an overview of mechanisms that have been suggested to explain the enhanced formability. The difference between fracture limit and necking limit in sheet metal forming is discussed. The neck...

In this article, the effect of different yield functions on prediction of forming limit curve (FLC) for aluminum sheet is studied. Due to importance of FLC in sheet metal forming, concentration on effective parameters must be considered exactly in order to have better theoretical prediction comparing experimental results. Yield function is one of the factors which are improved by adding new coe...

In this research, Forming Limit Diagrams for supertension sheet metals which are using in automobile industry have been obtained. The exerted strains to sheet metals have been measured with four different methods and the errors of each method have also been represented. These methods have been compared with together and the most efficient and economic way of extracting of the exerted strains to...

In the present work focus devoted to results obtained from uniaxial tensile test were utilized analyze flow stress behavior of brass under different orientation, temperature and strain rate conditions study forming limit diagrams for stretch sheet material at room various elevated temperatures have been estimated experimentally by performing operations using warm tooling setup (i.e., suitable p...

Forming limit curves (FLC) of deep drawing steel sheets have been determined experimentally and calculated on the base of the material tensile properties following the Hill, Swift, Marciniak-Kuczyński and Sing-Rao methods. Only the FLC modeled from a singly linear forming limit stress curve exhibits good consistence with experimental curve. It was established that a linearized limit stress locu...
