Abstract:Warm forming of aluminum is a recent process and its developments have been mainly focused on drawing. This study takes a look at bending, a process widely used in industry. After the 2017A T4 and 6061 T6 aluminum alloys are characterized at both room and warm temperatures, bending of these materials is carried out at different temperatures. Various bending strategies are studied. The findings point to the value for these materials in heating the bend during the forming operation to avoid cracking, in some cas… Show more
