Abstract

The effects of temperature distribution and friction on warm forming performance were investigated for 5083-O (Al-Mg) sheet metal blanks. Combined isothermal/non-isothermal FEA with the DOE tool was used to predict appropriate warm forming temperature conditions for the deep drawing case. In the ranges investigated (temperature: 25-250°C; friction coefficient: 0.06-0.2), the formability of AA-5083 alloy is found to be greatly dependent on the temperature of the die and punch. To achieve increased depths of forming, different temperature levels should be assigned to the corner and body of the die and punch in conjunction with a combination of low friction between die-blank, and high friction between punch-blank.
