Abstract:Paint appearance is an important requirement for outer automobile panels. Since the last decade automotive manufacturers started reducing paint thickness to address environmental concerns. As a result, the surface roughening of steel substrate due to stamping becomes a critical factor for paint appearance. Although much research work has been conducted on surface roughening, limited research has been focused on waviness and stamping conditions in the pressing of highly formable sheet steels. In this work, the … Show more
