Nowadays, due to importance of the lightweight materials in industries and reducing the consumed energy, obtaining a lightweight material with high strength and stiffness is required. A combination of fiber and metal materials can close us reach our goal. Fiber-metal composite tube structures can be one of these ultra-hybrid materials which have high strength and stiffness with flexible material properties like fiber tubes which provide a light structure with improved performance compared to singular tube parts. In this research, a combined tubular structure of AL-6063 and carbon fiber was used. The free bulge hydroforming, lateral 3-point bending test, and axial compression were numerically and experimentally conducted to evaluate the effect of the carbon fiber on the AL-6063 tube. Also, a bi-layer AL-6063 tube was used to compare the result between a bi-layer of metal tube and the fiber metal tube laminates (FMTLs). The results demonstrated that the bi-layer tube of carbon fiber-Al can show a considerable performance in a high pressure while it is not a proper structure where a radial load is applied.

“…By contrast, a cavity pressure lower than optimal causes fracture of the FML. FML parts manufactured by considering the optimal value of the blank holding gap (BHG) lead to a reduction in time and effort spent in mass production [401]. An appropriate setting of the BHF, BHG, and cavity pressure ensures the achievement of higher degrees of deformation and the forming of drawpieces with a more complex shape.…”

Fibre metal laminates, hybrid composite materials built up from interlaced layers of thin metals and fibre reinforced adhesives, are future-proof materials used in the production of passenger aircraft, yachts, sailplanes, racing cars, and sports equipment. The most commercially available fibre–metal laminates are carbon reinforced aluminium laminates, aramid reinforced aluminium laminates, and glass reinforced aluminium laminates. This review emphasises the developing technologies for forming hybrid metal–polymer composites (HMPC). New advances and future possibilities in the forming technology for this group of materials is discussed. A brief classification of the currently available types of FMLs and details of their methods of fabrication are also presented. Particular emphasis was placed on the methods of shaping FMLs using plastic working techniques, i.e., incremental sheet forming, shot peening forming, press brake bending, electro-magnetic forming, hydroforming, and stamping. Current progress and the future directions of research on HMPCs are summarised and presented.

“…[1][2][3] In sheet hydroforming, the use of a pressure medium facilitates the material flow during the process, leading to a better thickness distribution. [4,5] In other words, the pressurized fluid (usually water or oil) causes the sheet to adhere to the surface of the punch and deforms to its shape, [6,7] improving the geometrical accuracy of the formed part.…”

In this research, the improvement in sheet metal formability obtained through the utilization of a mineral grease in solid oil type (SMG) pressure medium in the hydrodynamic deep drawing process assisted by radial pressure (HDDRP) was investigated by experiments and finite element method (FEM) simulations on flat‐bottom cups realized with pure copper and DIN 1.0338 steel. To determine the process parameters ranges, a FEM model was developed in ABAQUS/Explicit and validated against experimental results. Afterward, experiments were carried out using two pressure mediums with different viscosities, id est water, and SMG. Considering the results relevant for both sheet materials, the SMG medium allowed an average reduction of the sheet metal thinning of 15% and 10% on the corner edges while also granting a negligible thickness variation on the cup walls. On the other hand, the higher viscosity of the SMG, in comparison to the water medium, also resulted in an average 16% increase in the forming force when compared to the water pressure medium.This article is protected by copyright.
