Characterization of Roping on AA6xxx Alloy Sheet by Numerical Analysis for Surface Topography

Abstract:

AA6xxx alloys are known to suffer from a phenomenon called roping, which is a ridge and valley pattern appearing after stamping is treated as a fatal surface defect for the automotive skin panels. Although the roping is the important factor to determine the exterior quality, it is commonly evaluated by visual check done by inspecting staff, which is very subjective and difficult to measure quantitatively. In this study, to quantify the roping level in detail and easily, a new calculation method based on Fourier transform and using simple device to measure topography is proposed. As a result of analyses for several different AA6022 alloy sheets, it is found that the strong roping surface has the intensive directional pattern along the rolling direction with a specific wavelength. The roping level can be expressed numerically as the ratio between the amplitude of the rolling directional pattern and the average amplitude of each directional pattern. This value shows good agreement with the roping level determined by human observation. Moreover, it is found that the proposed method can be applied to the surface appearance obtained by digital camera without a 3D profiler.
