Abstract: Tensile properties of 6061 aluminum alloy sheet were investigated by means of electric universal test machine, scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) etc．and compared with those parameters of 6010 aluminum alloy; By using machine performance parameters of 6061 aluminum alloy ,finite element software eta/DYNAFORM of Sheet Forming made the numerical simulation of Erichsen tester process of 6061 aluminum alloy sheet ,and the result of numerical simulation compared with actual Erichsen tester. The press forming performance of 6061 alloy sheet have been analyzed．The results show that compared with 6010 aluminum alloy, proof strength σ_s and tensile strength σ_b of 6061 aluminum alloy sheet exhibits worse,but even percentage elongation δ of 6061 alloy sheet exhibits similar; The value IE of numerical simulation exhibits similar with actual value IE. So 6061 aluminum alloy sheet have formability in a certain extent and apply in some fields of automobile instead of 6010 aluminum alloy.

Abstract: FEM simulations of squashing and bending process of large diameter elbow was applied to analyze the influence of squashing velocities, one of the key process parameters, on the deformation of the tube. In this study the squashing distance of first step is 300mm after several simulation attempts, corresponding to different squashing speeds and different bending velocities of second step. The simulation results of different velocities are compared and discussed. In the end the final velocities of the two steps are given.
