Abstract:This article presents an experimental investigation aimed to obtain the optimum formability of light-weight alloys under the multi-stage forming process. Titanium alloy sheets (Ti-6Al-4V) and aluminium alloy sheets (AA5052) of thickness 1 mm with different widths (i.e. 20, 90, and 110 mm) are selected as forming specimens. In order to carry out the multi-stage forming process, a special fixture with a heating system for the pre-straining process is designed and manufactured. The limit dome heights of both tita… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
