The Effect of Zinc Coatings on the Formability of Automotive Sheet Steels

Influence of the Forming Processes on the Rate of Corrosion of Galvanized High Strength Low Alloy Steel Sheets

“…Figure (8). The loss of weight versus the time of exposure to the corrosive medium, for three different stain paths…”

“…Stevenson [7] studied the effect of the thickness of the intermetalic layer on the limiting punch height in punch stretching. Meuleman et al [8] studied the effect of changing the strain path on the formability of Galvanized sheet steels. Nanayakkara et al [9] studied the interaction between the coating characterstics of galvanized steel and forming parameters.…”

Forming characteristics and mechanical parameter sensitivity study on pre-phosphated electro-galvanized sheet steel

“…This substitution presents many challenges in characterizing, and understanding the behavior of coated products in terms of joining, painting, finishing, and forming. The increasing application of galvanized steels highlights the urgent need for work in these areas [4][5][6].…”

Friction in sheet forming with soft and hard tooling

“…It has been repeatedly observed that, depending on sheet material and lubricant, friction on soft tools may be higher or lower than on hard ones. Thus, Meuleman et al [2] and Brazier and Thomson [3] found significantly higher friction with a galvannealed steel on soft tooling, as did Meuleman and Zoldak [4] who extended the work to different coatings and lubricants. A three-way interaction between tool material, lubricant, and steel made transfer of results from soft to hard tooling impossible.…”
