Effect of Bending Strain in Forming Limit Strain and Stress of IN-718 Sheet Metal

Article Preview

Abstract:

The forming limit diagram (ε-FLD) was estimated by deforming IN-718 sheet metal in different strain paths using a sub-size limiting dome height test set-up. The bending strains induced due to the use of smaller punch were estimated in all the strain paths, and the corrected ε-FLD was evaluated. The mathematical models such as Hill localized necking, Swift diffuse necking and Storen-Rice bifurcation theories were implemented to predict the limiting strains. In-order to avoid the path dependency of the ε-FLD during multi-stage forming process, stress based forming limit diagram (σ-FLD) was estimated using von-Mises and Hill-48 anisotropy plasticity theory with incorporation of Hollomon power hardening law. It was found that the bending strain influenced the limiting strains and stresses in the forming limit diagram. However, IN-718 material has encouraging formability in stretch forming process. The plot of the equivalent strains versus triaxiality indicated increasing limiting strain of the material in tension-tension mode.
