Publication Access status: Open Access , Beeinflussung der Umformzone durch segmentierte Niederhalter beim inkrementellen ProfilbiegenDie Industrie befindet sich im Wandel. Sinkende Losgrößen bei gleichzeitig steigender Variantenvielfalt erfordern Produktionstechnologien, die eine wirtschaftliche Fertigung niedriger bis mittlerer Stückzahlen ermöglichen. Parallel dazu stellt die Transformation der Mobilität, insbesondere der Übergang vom Verbrennungs- zum Elektroantrieb, die Automobilindustrie vor zusätzliche Herausforderungen bei der Entwicklung und Fertigung neuer Crashstrukturen und Lastpfade. Konventionelle Werkzeugtechnologien mit starren, produktspezifischen Funktionsflächen stoßen hierbei zunehmend an ihre Grenzen. Zukünftige Produktionssysteme erfordern daher flexible Fertigungsprozesse und Werkzeuge, die eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung vom Einzelteil bis hin zu mittleren Losgrößen ermöglichen und gleichzeitig eine lastorientierte Bauteilauslegung unterstützen. Das inkrementelle Schwenkbiegen (ISB) stellt in diesem Kontext ein vielversprechendes Biegeumformverfahren dar. Das Biegemoment wird hierbei reibschlüssig über die Klemmflächen des Niederhalters in das Halbzeug eingeleitet, wodurch eine hohe Flexibilität hinsichtlich der umformbaren Halbzeuggeometrien erreicht wird. Der inkrementelle Charakter des Prozesses eröffnet zudem Freiheitsgrade zur Herstellung variabler Biegeradien und -winkel. Darüber hinaus wird in diesem Beitrag anhand etablierter Analysemethoden ein Werkzeugkonzept vorgestellt, das es ermöglicht, die Verteilung der Klemmkraft durch einstellbare, segmentierte Niederhalteflächen mit vertikalem Freiheitsgrad gezielt anzupassen und dadurch die Größe und Form der Umformzone zu beeinflussen. Anschließend wird das Potenzial zur Erweiterung der Grenzen der Umformtechnik im Hinblick auf die numerisch ermittelte lokale Dehnungsverteilung durch die dynamische Be- und Entlastung der Klemmflächensegmente während der inkrementellen Umformung untersucht. Das übergeordnete Ziel der Arbeit ist die Realisierung eines prozessintegriert steuerbaren Materialflusses in der Blechumformung. Die aktive Beeinflussung der Umformzone im ISB eröffnet damit neue Möglichkeiten zur flexiblen und lastorientierten Herstellung von Strukturbauteilen, beispielsweise von Längsträgern im Fahrzeugbau, und stellt einen vielversprechenden Ansatz für die wirtschaftliche Produktion zukünftiger lasttragender Strukturelemente dar.Source Type:InProceedings6 9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Access status: Open Access , Topology optimization of die geometry through identification of high pressure areas on die surface(2025); ; In profile bending of tubes, FE-simulations have shown that the contact between tool (die) and metal tube manifests a unique contact pressure pattern at the tool surface. In this study, practical sensors are employed to determine the pressure transmission from tube onto tool surface. The physical measurements provided by sensors showed high agreement with the FE-simulation. It is demonstrated that the pressure exerted by the tube is not transmitted uniformly throughout the tool surface rather it is localized towards centre and fringes. This investigation opens up the possibility to design tools (forming dies) using topology optimization. The topology optimized geometry of a tool results in substantial material savings within the tool geometry. This research paper demonstrates that the identification of pressure pattern on the tool surface provides the basis to design tools with bare essential material within the tool geometry, hence stepping forward towards cost effective manufacturing of tools.Source Type:Article6 14 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Metadata only , Fracture behavior of double edge notch AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusionIn the present study, the fracture behavior of additively manufactured (AM) metal parts has been investigated. To this aim, double edge notch tension (DENT) specimens have been printed using AlSi10Mg alloy based on the laser powder bed fusion (PBF) technique. Particularly, DENT specimens have been fabricated with three different ligament lengths and three different printing directions for each ligament length. In this study, we used the concept of essential work of fracture to describe the fracture behavior AMed parts. According to a series of tests under static loading conditions, influences of the ligament length and printing direction on the structural integrity of the DENT specimens have been determined. According to the experimental practices, levels of ductility and size of plastic zone in the ligament region have been documented. Here, we utilized digital image correlation technique to measure strain fields on the surface of the examined samples. Moreover, numerical simulations have been conducted to simulate the stress distribution from DENT specimens. In addition, visual inspection of the fracture surfaces has been conducted using a free-angle observation system. The outcome of this study can be used for future designs of PBF printed parts with a better structural performance.Source Type:Article3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Metadata only , Surface roughness and coefficients of friction of 3D-printed clamp tools made from selective laser meltingThe practical use of 3D-printed metal tools in production industries requires accurate characterization of tool behaviour. In metal forming industries, the efficacy of clamp tools largely depends on surface roughness and friction behaviour of tool surfaces. This research is aimed to investigate surface roughness and friction behaviour of 3D-printed clamp tools made from selective laser melting process. Gas atomized powdered tool steel-X3NiCoTi1895 (EN 1.2709) is used to 3D print clamp tools. A mechanical setup determines the friction coefficients of 3D-printed samples under practical loading conditions. The effect of raster angle on surface roughness of 3D-printed clamp tools is determined. These findings serve as the basis of a broader project in which metal-3D-printed forming tools are developed and tested in actual production setups.Source Type:Article1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Metadata only , Additive manufacturing of polymeric pressure die for rotary draw bending process3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) possesses enormous potential to benefit the manufacturing industry. Presently, rotary draw bending (RDB) is one of the most commonly used cold-forming industrial process for bending metal tubes. Pressure die is a fundamental forming tool in RDB processes, and it is conventionally made by various grades of comparatively expensive alloy steels. This research presents a novel design of a pressure die which can be 3D printed by using inexpensive polymeric filaments. In this research paper, the 3D-printed pressure die is named as “FFF-pressure die.” The material used to fabricate the FFF-pressure die is a thermoplastic polymer known as “ecoPLA.” The mechanical properties of ecoPLA are studied in relation to the process conditions of a RDB process. Firstly, an initial feasibility of using the FFF-pressure die in a RDB process is obtained by conducting a quick static stress analysis with actual process conditions. After initial feasibility, a complete RDB process is developed and simulated with actual process conditions and material properties. The FFF-pressure die is then practically fabricated by FFF 3D printer and experimentally tested on an industrial RDB machine. The results of practical experiments are compared with the simulation results. In order to make a comparison of the FFF-pressure die with the conventional metal pressure die, the simulation and practical process is also conducted with the conventional metal pressure die. A performance and cost comparison is made between the polymeric FFF-pressure die and the conventional metal pressure die. Von Mises stresses, contact forces, failure risk, and elastic deformations are analyzed. The advantages and limitations of using the FFF-pressure die in a RDB process are discussed in the end. This research intends to widen the avenue of using cost-effective and lightweight forming tools in metal forming industries.Source Type:Article5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Brittle fracture of notched components fabricated by stereolithographySince additive manufacturing (AM, i.e., 3D printing) has been widely used for production of end-used products, the mechanical strength of parts fabricated by this technology have gained considerable significance. The current study presents fracture load assessment of 3D-printed components fabricated by the stereolithography (SLA) technique using UV sensitive resin material. In this context, dumbbell-shaped specimens were printed and tested to determine basic mechanical properties. Moreover, V-notched semi-circular bending test coupons with various notch opening angles (i.e., 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°) were printed and examined. Parallel to the experimental tests, we developed a finite element model to simulate the load carrying performance of 3D-printed parts. Moreover, we used the digital image correlation technique to determine displacement and strain field on the surface of the examined specimens. Since the mechanical strength and fracture behavior of 3D-printed parts are investigated in the current study, the presented outcomes can be utilized for innovative designs of parts fabricated by SLA with a higher mechanical strength, and improved load-carrying capacity.Source Type:Article7 11 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Mixed mode brittle fracture of stereolithographic 3D-printed partsTechnical advances in additive manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, have led to applications of this technology in creation of end-use items. Consequently, performance and the mechanical strength of AMed parts have become of significant importance. In this research, fracture behavior and crack propagation of AMed cracked plates are investigated. To this aim, the stereolithography (SLA) technique is used to fabricate square plate specimens with a hole in the center and radial cracks that started at the perimeter of the central hole. Here, full range of mixed-mode fracture (from pure mode I to pure mode II) are obtained by altering the angle between the crack and the applied load. We used the finite element method to determine stress intensity factors. This study deals with a series of experiments on 3D-printed cracked plates to study mixed-mode fracture and crack propagation in brittle fracture of SLA 3D-printed components. Additionally, the digital image correlation technique was used to determine strain field on the surface of the specimens. As SLA is one of the most commonly used concepts in polymer 3D printing and has garnered significant attention for fabrication of complex structural elements, the outcomes of this study are useful for next developments and innovative designs of 3D-printed polymeric components.Source Type:Article326 174
