Wrinkling Prediction and Optimization of Sheet Metal Forming Process by Numerical Simulation

Abstract:

The paper deals with optimization of forming process for AISI 430 stainless steel with nominal thickness 0.4 mm. During forming of sidewall for washing machine drum, some wrinkles remain at the end of forming process in some places. This problem was solved by optimization the geometry of the drawpiece using numerical simulation. During optimization a series of modifications of the part geometry to absolute elimination of wrinkling was performed. On the basis of mechanical tests, the material model was created and imported into the material database of Autoform simulation software.
