Warm Forming Simulation of Dual-Phase Steel Tailor-Welded Blanks Based on Thermo-Mechanical Coupled Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model for warm forming of dual-phase steel (DP) laser tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) was established based on ABAQUS software. The isothermal deep drawing of rectangular cups at elevated temperatures and the non-isothermal deep drawing at the temperature of 400°C were simulated. The distributions of temperature and differences between the isothermal and non-isothermal conditions were discussed. The results show that the temperature has great effect on the warm forming of DP-TWBs, and it achieves the best formability at the forming temperature of 400°C, and the non-isothermal deep drawing can further improve the warm formability.
