The Effects of Grain Size and Lubrication on Micro Curl Forming Process of Metallic Thin Sheet

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article aims at the discussion of deformation behavior considering size effect on curl forming process of sheet metal. In this study, the test specimens were made by phosphor bronze sheets for curl forming test. The specimens with different thickness were firstly heated at different temperatures for obtaining the objective grain sizes. And the mechanical properties of specimen were acquired by using tensile test. Through the curl forming test with a curl forming machine, the curled angles, springback and curling load were measured and analyzed for investigating the grain size effect of the chamfer and carbon lubricant during the curl forming process.
