| Abstract Scope |
Traditionally, metal forming is shaping metals with the ultimate goal to manufacture complicated components without material failure such as necking, fracture and/or surface defects. The dependency of the component performance under service loads on the forming process is rarely considered. This leads to a design of formed components with no failure but with large safety margins and results too large mass of the parts. This presentation will reveal the close relationship of component performance and the parameters of the forming process creating the component giving the opportunity to reduce the mass of the product by simply controlling the forming process. This perception of metal forming process design will require new actuators and processes (such as incremental processes) to boost the component performance. Ductile damage, residual stresses and anisotropic hardening will be discussed as three basic properties of formed workpieces that affect significantly the performance of the component. |
