Investigation of the Influence of a Superimposed Oscillated Forming Process on Forming Characteristics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The increasing demand for resource-efficient production methods is driving the development of new technologies. Sheet bulk metal forming (SBMF) offers the possibility to combine sheet metal and bulk forming operations. This allows the production of complex functional components with secondary forming elements from sheet metal. Compared to other production techniques such as machining, a more efficient use of material can be achieved. Further advantages are a near net shape production and increased strain hardening. SBMF processes are limited by forming technology boundaries. These include high forming forces, incomplete mould fillings and limited surface qualities. In this research, the possibility of enhancing the material flow, improving surface quality and reducing the tool loads in SBMF-processes is investigated by using a superimposed oscillation. The focus here is on achieving a high surface quality of components produced by forming technology and an enhanced material flow during forming. For this purpose, a forming process for ironing an axial gear geometry is superimposed with an oscillation in the main force flow.
