The production of high strength steel components with desired properties by hot stamping (also called press hardening) requires a profound knowledge and control of the forming procedures. In this way, the final part properties become predictable and adjustable on the basis of the different process parameters and their interaction. In addition to parameters of conventional cold forming, thermal ...

The automotive industry has undergone significant advancements and changes over time, resulting in the use of more complex parts modern vehicles. As a consequence, used manufacturing process are subject to higher stress levels, which reduce their service life. To mitigate this issue, surface treatments can be applied improve mechanical properties tools. In study, we examined impact on reducing ...

This research describes the performance data of the aluminum automobile wheel manufactured by wheel flow forming machine. The performance is examined after designing and operating the CNC controller which is customized for the wheel flow-forming machine. In general, the existing wheel flowforming machine simultaneously controls the 3 rollers and axis, which results in the degradation of the qua...

The current paper aims to review tooling life span, failure modes and models in cold microforming processes. As there is nearly no information available on tool-life for microforming the starting point was conventional cold forming. In cold forming common failures are (1) over stressing of the tool; (2) abrasive wear; (3) galling or adhesive wear, and (4) fatigue failure. The large variation in...
