An Al/Stainless Steel/Al lamellar composite was produced by roll bonding of the starting sheets at 400 °C. Afterward, the roll bonded sheet was cut in half and the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process at room temperature was applied seven times. As a result, the central steel layer fractured and distributed in the Al matrix among different layers introduced by the repetition of roll bonding ...

the incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. this paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of aa1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...

Deep drawing process is one of the most applicable methods in producing industrial parts. In this process, the initial blank deforms to final product using a rigid punch and die. In this investigation, the effect of deep drawing process parameters of brass/steel laminated sheet composites on required forming force has been investigated. The process simulated using finite element method (FEM) an...

because of production process and constrains conditions, circular graphene sheet may be opposed to structural defect and pin hole, respectively. some of the defects and pin hole on a circular graphene sheet can be considered as an eccentric hole on the sheet. hence, analyzing behavior of circular graphene sheet with an eccentric hole is important. free vibration of an eccentric annular graphene...

resistance spot welding is an important manufacturing process in the automotive industry for assembling bodies. the quality and strength of the welds and, by extension, the body is mainly defined by the quality of the weld nuggets. the most effective parameters in this process are sheet material, geometry of electrodes, electrode force, current intensity, welding time and sheet thickness. the p...

rupture and wrinkling are two prevalent phenomena that happen in hydro-forming process. many efforts have been made to achieve the upper and lower bounds for the pressure related to rupture and wrinkling of sheet, respectively. the aim of this investigation is to improve the upper bound of fluid pressure in hydro-forming process by hemispherical punch. in this article, analytical study of the u...

cold rolling process of a major transformation in the form of sheet metal and a wide range of steel products are produced in this way. elastic deformation during cold rolling working rollers and the inevitable increase in the rolling force. in this study, the effect of elastic deformation during cold rolling mill rollers working on the reciprocating back and forth in tandem with the presence of...

The most prominent feature of sheet material forming process is an elastic recovery phenomenon during unloading which leads to springback and side wall curl. Therefore evaluation of springback and side wall curl is mandatory for production of precise products. In this paper, the effects of some parameters such as friction coefficient, sheet thickness, yield strength of sheet and blank-holder fo...
