New Process Strategies to Manufacture Tailored Blanks out of DP600 by Orbital Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

The application of bulk forming operations on sheet metal enables the manufacture of functional components with local wall thickness variations. Using process adapted semi-finished parts with a local material pre-distribution and strain hardening in these processes leads to an increased forming of the functional components. In addition material efficiency is improved. Transferring the positive results acquired with mild deep-drawing steel to high-strength steel tailored blanks enables new possibilities for lightweight design. Given challenges in the manufacture of tailored blanks out of DP600 that reach the same geometry as the ones made of mild deep-drawing steel will be presented in this paper. Furthermore possible ways to overcome them by means of adjusted orbital forming will be presented.
