Researches on Control and Application of Wrinkles in the Thin-Walled Metal Plastic Forming Process

Abstract:

The thin metal plastic forming is an indispensable metal forming technology. Wrinkling is one of the common defects in plastic forming. If this kind of defects can be used properly, the formability of metal will be better. In this paper, the recent researches on the methods of identifying wrinkles, distinction of the useful wrinkles and harmful wrinkles, control and application of the wrinkles are summarized. The useful wrinkles are expected to improve the forming property.
