Osu1143214139.Pdf (10.83 HIGH VELOCITY FORMABILITY AND FACTORS AFFECTING IT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mala Seth Dehra, B.E, M.S. ******* The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Glenn S. Daehn, Adviser Dr. Peter Anderson Adviser Dr. Kathy Flores Graduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering Copyright by Mala Seth Dehra 2006 ABSTRACT High velocity forming methods successfully address problems faced in conventional forming techniques. They can be effectively used for forming metals with low formability like aluminum alloys and high strength steel. They can be instrumental is manufacturing of lighter vehicles with higher fuel efficiency. Electromagnetic forming (EMF) is an HVF method that is gaining wide acceptance due to its advantages and scope for commercialization. A number of experimental studies were carried out with EMF with the main goal of exploring fundamentals about material formability at high velocities, which can be used to establish practical design guidelines and to make models of high velocity formability. Thus the main factors that influence high velocity formability – inertia / size effects; changes in constitutive behavior; impact; and dynamic failure modes, were studied mainly with experiments. The role of changes in constitutive behavior in improving formability was studied from existing studies and new theoretical studies involving High velocity Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) and through solving an inverse problem of ring expansion. ii Tube free-expansion experiments were carried out to demonstrate enhanced metal formability even in the absence of die impact. To further establish the significance of inertia, electromagnetic ring free-expansion experiments with rings of different aspect ratios were carried out. A higher aspect ratio sample had better formability in terms of uniform and total elongation and also had fewer necks than a low aspect ratio (more slender) ring at the same velocity. The results clearly demonstrated the influence of sample aspect ratio (dimensions) and hence inertia on high velocity formability. Die impact experiments were carried out with tubes and rings to show the beneficial influence of die arrest of a moving sample. It was revealed that die impact in an appropriate range of velocities can significantly suppress failure and reduce the number of tears and fractures in the samples. Further a new mode of failure in die impacted samples, spall-like dynamic rupture was observed, which had characteristics similar to classic spall failure. Thus through all these studies, the important factors influencing high velocity formability was studied and it was shown that it can be more complex than quasi-static formability. Boundary conditions for each forming operation can play a more significant role and hence simple tools like FLDs might not be practical tools for studying high velocity formability. iii Dedicated to the memory of my mother, Mrs. Komal Seth iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to my advisor, Dr. Glenn S.

  • Modification in Forming Die to Overcome Manufacturing Process
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 7, July-2020 ISSN 2229-5518 41 Modification in Forming Die to Overcome Manufacturing Process Limitation Prof.B.R.Chaudhari[1], PrathmeshKulkarni[2], Tejas Potdar[3], Omkar Pawar[4], Akhilesh Nikam[5] Abstract—Forming of sheet metal is common and vital process in manufacturing industry. Sheet metal forming is the plastic deformation of the work over an axis, creating a change in the parts geometry. Generally, there are two parts used in forming process; one of the part is punch which performs the stretching, bending and blanking operation and another is Die block which secularly clamps the workpiece and same operation as punch. Forming processes are particular manufacturing processes which make use of suitable stresses like compression, tension, shear, combined stresses which causes plastic deformation of the material to produce required shapes. During Forming process, no material is removed i.e. they are deformed and displaced. Some examples of forming processes are Forging, Sheet metal working, thread rolling, Electromagnetic forming, Explosive forming, rotary swaging, etc. Here the problem statement of the project is to combine these two parts design in one forming die which is now manufacturing separately on two different forming dies. Index Terms—Forming Die, Die Design, Blanking Process, Importance of Material Selection; ———————————————————— 1 INTRODUCTION heet metal is simply metal formed into thin and flat pieces. B.

  • 10Th Int'l LS-DYNA® Users Conf
    10th International LS-DYNA® Users Conference Metal Forming (3) Comparison Between Experimental and Numerical Results of Electromagnetic Forming Processes José Imbert*, Pierre L’eplattenier** and Michael Worswick* *Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada **LSTC, Livermore, California, USA Abstract Electromagnetic Forming (EMF) is a high speed metal forming process that is being studied with interest in both academia and industry as a way of improving existing sheet metal forming. The main thrust of the published research has been increasing the formability of aluminum alloys. Observing and measuring EMF process is made very difficult by the high speeds involved and the tooling used to obtain the final shapes. As with many other processes, numerical simulations can potentially be used to study the details of EMF; however, one limiting factor is the difficulty in modeling the process, since accurate models of both the structural and electromagnetic phenomena must be solved. Researchers have relied on simplifications that use analytical magnetic force distributions, on separate electromagnetic (EM) and structural codes or on in-house codes that can solve both problems simultaneously. In this paper, the predictive ability of the EM module of LS-DYNA® is assessed through a comparison between experimental and numerical results for samples formed by EMF. V-Channel and conical shaped samples were formed using two different EMF apparatuses. For the V-Channel samples a double rectangular coil was used and for the conical samples a spiral coil was used. Both processes were modeled using LS-DYNA®’s EM module. A comparison of the final experimental and numerical final shape and current profiles is presented.

    Advanced Manufacturing Processes Prof. Dr. Apurbba Kumar Sharma Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee Module - 5 Other Advanced Processes Lecture - 1 High Energy Rate Forming Processes Welcome to this new module on some new specialized material processing methods under the course advanced manufacturing processes. In the module 4, we have discussed about many advanced welding processes like solid state welding processes, laser welding processes, plasma arc welding processes etcetera. We have seen the working principles, advantages, limitations and applications of these processes. Moving on, let us see some new processes like high energy rate forming process, then rapid prototyping process and microwave material processing techniques. In the first of these techniques, let us consider high energy rate forming process. (Refer Slide Time: 01:50) The principle of these processes is like this. A number of methods have been developed to form metals through the application of large amounts of energy in a very short time interval. These processes are known as high energy rate forming processes. (Refer Slide Time: 02:13) Many metals tend to deform more rapidly under the ultra rapid load application rates used in these processes. Principle of high energy rate metal forming can be explained like this, if we have a ductile material, then this material can be deformed by working on it at a very faster speed and against a die of the shape required, the material can be shaped under the pressure of this applied energy. (Refer Slide Time: 02:57) Say for example, we have a sheet of metal which is of ductile in nature.

In the framework of many accelerator projects relying on RF superconducting technology, shape conformity and processing time are key aspects for the optimization of niobium cavity fabrication. An alternative technique to traditional shaping methods, such as deep-drawing and spinning, is Electro-Hydraulic Forming (EHF). In EHF, cavities are obtained through ultra-high-speed deformation of blank sheets, using shockwaves induced in water by a pulsed electrical discharge. With respect to traditional methods, such a highly dynamic process can yield valuable results in terms of effectiveness, Figure 1: SPL 704 MHz elliptical cavity. repeatability, final shape precision, higher formability and reduced spring-back. In this paper, the first results of EHF on copper prototypes and ongoing developments for niobium for the Superconducting Proton Linac studies at CERN are discussed. The simulations performed in order to master the embedded multi-physics phenomena and to steer process parameters are also presented. INTRODUCTION Several projects at CERN require developments of new or spare superconducting RF cavities, in particular for the LHC consolidation, the LHC High Luminosity upgrade (HL-LHC), the Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) and the Future Circular Collider (FCC) studies.

  • Factors Effecting Electromagnetic Flat Sheet Forming Using the Uniform Pressure Coil
    FACTORS EFFECTING ELECTROMAGNETIC FLAT SHEET FORMING USING THE UNIFORM PRESSURE COIL A THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristin E. Banik, B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Master’s Examination Committee: Approved by Professor Glenn S. Daehn, Adviser Professor Kathy Flores _______________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering ABSTRACT Electromagnetic forming is a possible alternative to sheet metal stamping. There are multiple limitations to the incumbent stamping methods including: complex alignment, changes to component shapes, and ductility issues, which often limits available formed geometry. Electromagnetic forming allows for the avoidance of some of these issues, but introduces a few other issues. In this thesis, the issues with electromagnetic forming will be discussed in conjunction with the application of the uniform pressure coil. Also, the effects on properties of the electromagnetically formed samples in comparison to the traditional samples will be presented. These properties include hardness, formability and interface issues. Lastly, discussed in this paper is the implementation of the Photon Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) system, a velocity measurement system used to determine the velocity of the workpiece and compare it to physics-based models of the process. ii Dedicated to my parents. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank my adviser, Dr. Glenn Daehn for his support and guidance throughout graduate school and in running experiments and writing my thesis. I would also like to thank John Bradley, Steve Hatkevich and Allen Jones for their support of the work in our group as well as electromagnetic forming.

  • Mechanical and Electrohydraulic Forming Processes
    Process reliability and reproducibility of pneumo- mechanical and electrohydraulic forming processes W. Homberg1, E. Djakow1, O. Damerow1 1 Chair of Manufacturing and Forming Technology (LUF), Paderborn University, Paderborn Germany Abstract A sufficiently high process reliability and reproducibility is mandatory if a high-speed forming process is to be used in industrial production. A great deal of basic research work into pneumo-mechanical and electrohydraulic forming has been successfully performed in different institutions in the past. There, the focus has been more on process related correlations, such as the influence and interaction of different parameters on the course and result of those processes. The aspects of reliability and reproducibility have not been examined to a sufficient extent. Hence, in the case of pneumo-mechanical forming, insufficient investigations have been conducted into the effect that key parameters like the kinetic energy level, the filling height of the working media or the conditions inside the acceleration tube have on the reproducibility and course of the process. For electrohydraulic forming, the repeatability has worsened on occasions up to now. To improve the forming results and, in particular, the reputability of the process, it is necessary to examine the tool parameters associated with the electrodes and the working media. That is why research of this type is currently ongoing at the LUF. One important issue here is examining the options that exist for visualising the way the spark takes hold in the discharge chamber. Keywords High Speed Forming, Pneumo-mechanical Forming, Electrohydraulic Forming 1 Introduction The global trend towards the sustainable use of rare resources and the increasing demands of consumers for security items for products, for example, are leading to more complex components that are subject to high quality requirements.

Gomes This Publication has to be referred as: Sunjic, D[arko]; Buljan, S[tipo] & Gomes, E[duarda] (2020). Technologies of High-Velocity Forming, Proceedings of the 31st DAAAM International Symposium, pp.0403-0407, B. Katalinic (Ed.), Published by DAAAM International, ISBN 978-3-902734-29-7, ISSN 1726-9679, Vienna, Austria DOI: 10.2507/31st.daaam.proceedings.055 Abstract Technologies of high-velocity forming are mostly used for forming workpieces in which conventional technologies do not have a good effect. It is not possible to form certain workpieces with conventional technologies due to the complexity of the surfaces and shapes, type of materials, dimensions of the workpiece or other technical parameters of the workpiece. Increased market demands, especially in the automotive, aerospace and military industries, have expedited the development of new technologies and thus high-velocity technologies. Some of the technologies which are included in this are explosive forming, electromagnetic forming, electrohydraulic forming, and others. The paper describes these technologies and gives their advantages and disadvantages. Keywords: unconventional technologies; explosive forming; electromagnetic forming; high-velocity forming; forming 1. Introduction The paper describes the technologies that are best known and the technologies that are most used in high-velocity forming. High-velocity forming or high energy rate forming include technologies that use a large amount of energy in a very short time interval. The reason for these needs as well as the division itself are explained in the paper.
