Three main types of challenges arise when transitioning from the macro-scale to micro-deep drawing. These can be summarised as: (1) tribological effects, which mainly stem from the relative difference in surface characteristics between the two size scales, (2) material behaviour effects which arise from the increasing heterogeneity of materials that have a decreasing number of grains that are deformed in forming, and (3) dimensional effects which relate to difficulties in handling and inspection of small components at high rates and challenges in manufacturing and monitoring of tool components for use in micro-deep drawing. Various methods or effects can be applied to micro-deep drawing processes to tackle these challenges. This paper reviews research on methods and effects that can be used to improve the robustness in micro-deep drawing processes. Small changes, such as the choice of lubricant and slight changes to the punch geometry are considered, but so are larger changes such as the use of ultrasonic vibration to improve formability and adjustable tooling. The influence of process monitoring and simulation on process robustness is also considered. A summary of methods and effects is drawn at the end to highlight potential space for innovation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Material Forming","volume":"17 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140928681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A simple formal model of equivalent strain distribution within the ball in the direction of the rolling axis is also proposed. The proposed solutions predict that in the working ranges of the rolling parameters the value of the volume-averaged strain can vary from about 0.6 to 5, meanwhile in the jumper area the equivalent strain is two orders of magnitude higher than in the axial zone. It is shown that the principal influence on the magnitude of strain is caused by ovalization of the workpiece during rolling, which leads to multiple repeated deformation of the same volumes of metal when the workpiece rotates. As an example, the use of obtained estimates to calculate the strain, strain rate, flow stress, force and rolling torque under the conditions of the real experiment performed by other authors is shown. The proposed models allow solving engineering problems of certain classes (for example, calculation of energy-force parameters) without using FEM software packages and are recommended for optimization and real-time control of the helical rolling of balls.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Material Forming","volume":"17 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140887336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we consider the isotropic yield criterion of Drucker, which involves a unique parameter <i>c</i> expressible solely in terms of the ratio between the yield stresses in shear and uniaxial tension, <span>({tau }_{Y}/{sigma }_{T})</span>. In the case when <span>({tau }_{Y}/{sigma }_{T}=sqrt{3})</span>, the parameter <i>c</i> = 0 and the von Mises yield criterion is recovered, otherwise Drucker’s criterion accounts for dependence on both <span>({J}_{2})</span> and <span>({J}_{3})</span>. First, an analytical estimate of the ratio of the principal stresses at the apex of the dome is deduced. It is demonstrated that the stress ratio depends on the parameter <i>c,</i> the deviation from an equibiaxial stress state induced by changing the die aspect ratio is more pronounced for materials with higher <span>({tau }_{Y}/{sigma }_{Y})</span> ratio. Finite element predictions using the yield criterion and isotropic hardening confirm the trends put into evidence theoretically. Moreover, the F.E. simulations show that there is a correlation between the value of the parameter <i>c</i> that describes the dependence on <span>({J}_{3})</span> in the model and the strain paths that can be achieved in any given test, the level of plastic strains that develop in the dome, and the thickness reduction. Specifically, for a material characterized by <i>c</i> > 0 (<span>({tau }_{Y}/{sigma }_{T}<1/sqrt{3})</span>) under elliptical bulging, at the apex the plastic strain ratio is greater than in the case of a von Mises material, while the stress ratio is less. On the other hand, for a material characterized by <i>c</i> < 0 (<span>({tau }_{Y}/{sigma }_{T}>1/sqrt{3})</span>), the reverse holds true.

Considering the forming stage to manufacture plug-in type connectors made of CuSn6P thin sheets, a crack may appear in the components, in the bent area subject to high strains, when changing the material batch. The aim of this study is to take account of these variations of the mechanical behavior through a probabilistic approach, to predict the formability limit. The mechanical properties of the materials from the two batches were characterized in tension, to highlight the differences. The initial yield stress and the tensile strength are higher for one material, while the maximum equivalent plastic strain at rupture, determined through a hybrid experimental-numerical approach, is lower. And a significant difference in the transverse anisotropy coefficient is evidenced. A 3D parametric finite element model of the forming stage is developed to investigate the role of some mechanical properties and process parameters on the formability limit in bending. The range of the parameter values comes from the experimental data.

In order to determine the values needed to describe the cracking criterion, it was necessary to perform laboratory tests and numerical simulations of the process of compression in the channel of discs made of EA1T steel under hot forming conditions. Experimental tests were carried out for forming processes at 950 °C, 1050 °C and 1150 °C.
