Sheetmetal Forming of Steel, Aluminum, and Stainless Steels Seminar
Tuesday, June 26, 2018 - Wednesday, June 27, 2018
Cleveland, OH
EVENT DETAILS
Learn to properly identify and specify metals. Discover science-based tools for solving problems and gain an understanding of how higher-strength materials impact the press shop. Use basic mechanical properties as the key to forming capability, why sheetmetals today have greatly improved capability and consistency, and create a win-win partnership with your metal supplier.
Topics:
- Properties and characteristics of common sheet alloys used in metal stampings
- Language of sheetmetal forming
- Determining forming severity with forming-limit diagrams
- Smooth transition from tryout to production parts
- Approaches to problem solving
Program Highlights
Sheetmetal Types and Tests – Day 1
- How sheetmetal production influences stamping performance
- Differences between common sheet alloys used in metal stampings
- Sheetmetal formability characterization: hardness and tensile testing
- How sheetmetal selection impacts joining method: welding, riveting and adhesive bonding
Forming Sheetmetal – Day 2
- Dimensional challenges
- Lubrication and friction
- Determining forming severity with forming limit diagrams
- Practices for smooth production launch and throughout part life
- Problem solving to improve stamping performance
