In this paper, failure limits of aluminum AA5052 sheet material were experimentally
investigated, and subsequently, these were predicted using various uncoupled ductile …

The role of friction in the forming of automotive parts composed of ultra-high-strength
lightweight metals has become increasingly important as industry attempts to overcome …

The formability of naturally-aged Al-Mg-Si alloy blanks (6xxx alloys) is considered as stable
within 6 months after the solution heat treatment (SHT). After this period of time the blanks …

Hotmelts are nowadays widely used as dry film lubricants (DFL) in aluminum sheet forming.
However, their chemical composition and the degradation of functional additives during the …

To investigate the coupling strengthening mechanism of precipitate and Cu solute atoms in
Al-Mg-Si alloy, the molecular dynamics model of edge dislocation motion interacted with …

The tensile properties of rolled 6082-T6 aluminum alloy were tested at a high temperature,
and the influences of tensile temperature on its flow stress and anisotropy were studied. The …

Simultaneously improving formability and strength of commercial alloys in industrial
production till a great challenge. In this paper, we have effectively fabricated a …

Self-piercing riveting (SPR) has established as key technology for cost-efficient mechanical
joining of components in the serial production of lightweight car bodies. The SPR process is …

In recent decades, deep drawing has been widely used in the automotive industry for
producing lightweight car body components of 5xxx and 6xxx aluminum alloys. Although …
