Investigation on the Crack and Thinning Behavior of Aluminum Alloy 5052 Sheet in Stretch Flanging Process
Tóm tắt
Stretch flanging is the important sheet metal-forming process which is widely used in automobile and aerospace sectors. The formability of sheet metal depends on various parameters such as material properties, geometry of the tool setup and process parameters. In the present work, effects of different die radius and sheet width on deformation behavior of sheet are studied by FEM simulation and experiments. The predicted FEM results are presented in the form of edge crack location and its propagation, crack length, forming load and strain distribution in sheet along the die profile radius. This study indicates that crack length increases with increase in the sheet width, while the crack length decreases with increase in the die radius. It is found that the crack propagation in stretch flanging process is affected by the strain distribution in sheet and this distribution of strain depends on many parameters. The crack initiates during deformation of the sheet at the die corner edge and propagates toward the center of the sheet along the die profile radius. Simulation results are compared with the experimental one in terms of crack length and variation in sheet thickness. FE simulation results are found in very good agreement with experimental results. Fractography study is also presented in terms of size, shape of the dimples along with their distribution on the fractured surface.
