Abstract. Material properties can vary both along a sheet-metal coil and from coil to coil despite tight tolerances influencing the process stability of sheet-metal processes and the part quality, which leads to rejects and machine downtime [1]. This significantly affect the economic efficiency of the process. Monitoring fluctuations in material characteristics at regular intervals along sheet-metal coils is enabled directly by non-destructive testing (NDT) before the process offering conclusions on the material properties. Another material monitoring technique arises from monitoring process conditions of the upstream processes, e.g., cold rolling, leading indirectly to insights on material properties. In this work, a systematic literature review (SLR) [2] is conducted to investigate recent approaches for material monitoring and for the utilization of resulting material data for optimizing different sheet-metal forming processes. Existing approaches for different sheet-metal forming processes are critically appraised. Based on the SLR research gaps are revealed and research opportunities, e.g., arising from a potential transfer of existing solutions between different forming processes and recent advances in data-driven methods, are identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
