Abstract

Sheet-bulk metal forming is a manufacturing technology, which allows to produce a solid metal component out of a flat sheet. This paper focuses on numerical and experimental investigations of a new multistage forming process with compound press tools. The complete process sequence for the production of this solid metal component consists of three forming stages, which include a total of six production techniques. The first forming stage includes deep drawing, simultaneous cutting and following wall upsetting. In the second forming stage, flange forming combined with cup bottom ironing takes place. In the last stage of the process sequence, the component is sized. To investigate and to improve process parameters such as plastic strain distribution, resulting dimensions and process forces, FEA is performed. Based on these results the developed process is designed.
