“…First, many efforts have been undertaken to develop different types of tailored sheet metal products, including tailored welded blanks, tailored strips, patchworks and tailored tubes. Here, different types of sheet metal are typically combined in a single semi-finished product through welding operations [35]. Another possibility is the tailored tempering process.…”

“…The key areas for lightweight part production include material development (high strength steel, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, compound materials, and new alloys), part design (complex shapes and simulations), and production processes (hot forming, incremental forming, superplastic forming, and thixoforming) [1]. Generally, lightweight part manufacturing involves more sophisticated processes, materials, and product design in order to provide safety, compatibility, and durability to part structures while lowering costs [2]. Recently, low density and high strength materials have been introduced in metal forming.…”

Abstract:The tribo-characteristics of metal forming at high temperatures have not yet been well understood due to the complex nature of thermal, microstructural, interaction, and process parameters. This is a review paper on the effects of temperature, coating, and lubrication to the tribological characteristics in hot forming as well as the tribometers for different metal forming processes at elevated temperatures mainly based on the experimental work. The tribological behaviors of oxides in hot forming, such as rolling and stamping, were reviewed and presented. Some commonly used surface coatings and lubricants in hot forming were given. Many types of tribometer were selected and presented and some of them provided a great potential to characterize friction and wear at elevated temperatures. Nevertheless, more testing conditions should be further investigated by developing new tribometers. Eventually, experimental results obtained from reliable tribometers could be used in theory and model developments for different forming processes and materials at high temperatures. The review also showed the great potential in further investigations and innovation in tribology.

Abstract.To reduce weight of a component and improve its performance, the part properties have to be adapted to the requirements, the load profile, and the function of the product. This leads to a continuously increasing complexity of the components necessitating innovative manufacturing strategies for producing the desired shapes from materials that are difficult to handle. Hydroforming offers high potential for fulfilling this demand, especially, if it is applied in deliberate process integrations, combinations, and chains that allow exploiting complementary advantages of all technologies involved. The paper presents four examples of such manufacturing strategies: magnetic pulse welding followed by tube hydroforming, deep drawing combined with injection moulding and hydroforming using the molten plastic, free bending or roll forming followed by hydroforming, and deep drawing with integrated media forming.
