Item THE DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD TO IMPROVE THE LIMIT DRAWING RATIO OF BLANKS USING PREFERENTIAL HEATING(2015-01-30) KAYHAN, Erdem; KAFTANOĞLU, Bilgin; KONCA, ErkanThe method developed in the current thesis can shortly be described as the application of nonisothermal local heating in the flange region of the blank to improve the formability of sheet metals in deep drawing. The use of elevated temperature gives the possibility of significantly increasing the ductility of the material and the associated forming capability. It also drastically reduces the yield point and hence the forming forces and required pressures. One of the advanced high strength sheet steels (AHSS), DP600, widely used in the automotive industry due to enabling the reduction in car weigth and increasing the crash safety is chosen as a work material in this reasearch. Using AHSS steels also reduce the material thickness and lower fuel consumption. The three different types of steels, two HSLA and one IF steels, are additionally examined to observe the validity of the developed method. As a result of the experiments conducted within the temperature limits 180oC to 275oC in flange region, the Limiting Drawing Ratio in deep drawing (LDR) is increased up to 25.58 %. Since the temperature range stays in the warm region, material properties are not influenced; but the strength remains the same while the required forming forces are reduced.
