Experimental Investigations on Electromagnetically Assisted Corner-Fill Performance of AA5052 Sheets

Article Preview

Abstract:

To establish the efficacy of electromagnetically assisted sheet metal stamping (EMAS), the corner-fill ability of AA5052 sheets specified in conventional deep drawing was experimentally demonstrated and evaluated within a two-step EMAS process. First, conventional axisymmetric deep drawing was conducted to make a cylindrical cup with a rough-shaped bottom corner. The second step utilized a shaped coil to force the pre-formed cup into the die cavity, and the related electromagnetically assisted corner-fill performance was investigated. Experimental results show that the ideal of hybrid stamping-EMF sequence can successfully solve the formability problem involved in conventional stamping. During electromagnetically assisted corner-fill process, the deformation dispersion effect of dynamic phenomenon works remarkably on the fully deformed sheets, which will inhibit local instability of deformation and thus enhance materials formability.
