Review Industry 4.0 in Metal Forming Industry Towards Automotive Applications: A Review Heli Liu 1,2, Saksham Dhawan 1,2, Merrill Shen 1, Kangan Chen 1, Vincent Wu 3, and Liliang Wang 1,2,* 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College London, London, SW7 2AZ, UK 2 SmartForming Research Base, Imperial College London, London, SW7 2AZ, UK 3 School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, EH8 9LE, UK * Correspondence: liliang.wang@imperial.ac.uk Received: 23 September 2022 Accepted: 18 November 2022 Published: 18 December 2022 Abstract: Industry 4.0 is shaping the metal forming industry. The ongoing key Industry 4.0 technologies, including the industrial cyber-physical system (I-CPS), industrial internet of things (I-IoT), digital twin (DT), big data (BD) and cloud computing (CC), are expected to improve every stage during the metal forming processes, including the supply chains, raw material provision, tool design and manufacture, forming operations, energy consumption, cost, quality control and customer services. Here, we review the development and implementations of these key Industry 4.0 technologies in the metal forming industry. Based on the discussion of the opportunities and challenges of Industry 4.0 technologies in metal forming, this review provides some perspectives of future metal forming research directions towards automotive applications.

The wear behaviour of copper material processed by ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing) and orbital forging (OF) is presented in this study. Dry sliding wear tests were carried out for the wear behaviour of the investigated system. Oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper was used for testing. The new combination of metal forming processes was used because of ease of fabrication. Additionally, wear rate, friction coefficient and wears mechanisms were observed. The friction resistance is caused by the destruction of the adhesion between surface asperities in metal friction. Moreover, increased asperity interactions connected with wear particle entrapment gradually increase the friction coefficient. These results show the metal forming process's positive influence in reducing interfacial adhesion and asperity deformation. Finally, the combinations of newly used advanced processing demonstrated excellent wear characteristics of copper.

“…An advancement of energy-efficient systems and focused attention towards alternative renewable energy resources are needed to address the imminent threat. Design, modeling, and fabrication of energy storage systems for efficient use of waste heat emitted from thermal systems and solar energy storage trapped by working fluid has been widely ongoing research (Saxena and Lal 2012;Yadav et al 2021;Awasthi et al 2021). Phase-changing materials (PCM) are extensively used for energy storage systems (Eslami et al 2021;Kalbasi 2022;Chen et al 2022a;Wu et al 2022).…”

Phase-changing materials are nowadays getting global attention on account of their ability to store excess energy. Solar thermal energy can be stored in phase changing material (PCM) in the forms of latent and sensible heat. The stored energy can be suitably utilized for other applications such as space heating and cooling, water heating, and further industrial processing where low-temperature heat energy is required. The presented work attempts to evaluate past, present, and future trends in the development of energy storage materials and their encapsulation techniques for efficient utilization of the available energy. Hybrid PCM with nanoparticles has excellent potential to tailor thermo-physical properties and uplift the efficiency of energy storage systems. Synergistic use of PCM with nano-micro material can further improve the capacity of energy storage system along with the charging and discharging efficiencies of the system. Impacts of the size of particle, concentration ratio, and shape of particle have been studied to assess their effectiveness in enhancing storage efficiency of the systems. Waste heat recovered and stored in energy storage materials can undoubtedly improve the total energy availability of the source; thus, enhancing the exergy efficiency with simultaneous reduction in the entropy generation rate. Core-shell nanoparticles can further improve the optical absorptance spectra towards an infrared region of thermal energy. Encapsulation techniques, hybrid non-enhanced PCM and contentment designs can further augment the energy storage and discharging efficiency which in turn can diversify their applications in various systems.
