In press forming of sheet metals, the material sheet is usually subjected to very large plastic strain under in-plane stressing. Moreover, the sheet also very often is subjected to out-of-plane compressive force between tools such as the upper and lower dies, the blank holder and the die, and so forth. In this paper, it is clearly demonstrated theoretically that out-of-plane stress may notably raise the forming limit strain and thus it can be effectively utilized to avoid earlier fracture of the sheet in press forming.

The characteristic of sheet metal process is the few loss of material during process, the short processing time and the excellent price and strength. Such press-forming process are the used machine ability and the characteristic, used material, the accuracy of the part which becomes processing and side condition of a process are considered and the designed. The purpose of this study is apply efficiently sheet metal forming processing by 3D formation-analyzed program simulations in the site. By a study, forming process was simulation to drawing and trimming and cam process using static-implicit method software. By making apply this to an industrial site the productivity improvement and cost reduction etc. effect able was predicted.

Hot tensile tests were conducted at different temperatures ranging from $20^{\circ}C$ to $550^{\circ}C$ to evaluate the mechanical properties of Al5052 seamless tubes. Such tubes can provide the technological foundation for complex forming using hot air bulging. Hot air bulging is one of the recently developed hydroforming techniques and it has some limitations in terms of cycle times. The benefits of hot air bulging are weight and cost savings through part consolidation and reduced post-forming processes such as welding and piercing. In order to extend the forming limits of Al lightweight material hot air bulging was investigated. A heated tube was placed in a heated die and sealed at the ends by sealing cylinders. The heated tube was subsequently expanded against the die cavity wall by internal pressure using air medium. The results of the current study show that axial feeding speed and air pressure have an effect on the formability of Al tubes during air bulging at elevated temperatures.

This paper presents an experimental study of deep-drawing and rubber-pad forming process using titanium alloy sheet. The process and results of the work carried out to investigate the capability of the process and to optimize th process parameters to ensure a sound forming. Room and high temperature tensile tests were carried out at various process conditions and microstructural evaluation was investigated. The experimental investigation was done using 150 ton hydraulic press to produce a deep-drawn part. Both graphite lubricant and polyethylene sheet were essential for defect-free product. Regarding the rubber-pad forming, reasonable formability was obtained only for pure-Ti not for Ti-6Al-4V.

The metal forming behavior and defect formation in Ti-6Al-4V tube during hot backward extrusion were investigated. Dynamic material model(DMM) including Ziegler's instability criterion was employed to predict the forming defects such as shear band, inner and/or surface cracks. This approach was coupled to the internal variables generated from FE analysis. The simulation results fur the backward extrusion were compared with the experimental observation. The chilling effect and friction indicated a great influence on the deformation mode of the tube and the formation of surface cracks. The formation of forming defects in the extruded tube was attributed to non-uniform distribution of strain, strain rate and temperatures in the extruded tubes for the given test conditions.

In order to find the effect of lubricant viscosity, tool geometry, forming speed, and sheet material properties on the friction in the sheet metal forming, friction tests were performed. Friction test results show that as the lubricant viscosity becomes lower, the friction coefficient is higher. When surface roughness is extremely low or high, the friction coefficient is high. The bigger die corner radii and punch speed are, the smaller is the friction coefficient. From the experimental observation, the friction model which is the mathematical expression of friction coefficient in terms of lubricant viscosity, roughness and hardness of sheet surface, punch corner radius, and punch speed is constructed. By comparing the punch load found by FEM using the proposed friction model with that obtained from the experiment in 2-D stretch forming, the validity and accuracy of the friction model are demonstrated.

This study describes a dynamic model of the hydroforming process which is used for precision forming of sheet metals. To help the controller design for the control of the forming pressure needed for this process as well as to investigate the effect of system parameters on the dynamic behavior, dynamic modeling is performed with emphasis on hydraulic servo system which actuates the forming machine. Since the model contains several unknown parameters, these were estimated via a least square parameter identification method. Based upon the identified model, a series of simulations were performed for various operating conditions. The results were compared with those of the experiments to verify the validity of the proposed model. The comparison study shows that the proposed dynamic model can describe dynamic behavior of the forming pressure of the hydroforming process to desirable accuracy.

The effect of dynamic recrystallization during hot forming process was implemented to a commercial FEM code by conditioned remeshing and remapping of sate variables. A datum strain for stress compensation was determined as a strain for maximum softening rate and was able to be formulated as a function of critical strain f($\varepsilon$). The validity of remapping criterion was examined by a series of mechanical tests and microstructural observation. The application of suggested datum resulted in better estimation of load-stroke during forging processes.

Assuring required dimensional tolerance after spingback becomes the main concern of sheet-forming die designers when formability is secured through previous tryout. As a part to build a guideline to control springback in automobile frame forming, experiments are carried out to show the effects of process parameters, such as holding force, blank size, and lubrication, on corner angles of channels formed by U-bending or by square-cup drawing and trimming. The results are resented in the viewpoint of evaluating parameters.
