Introductory study of sheet metal forming simulations to evaluate process robustness
June 29, 2018
Reading Time: < 1 minute Abstract The ability to control quality of a part is gaining increased importance with desires to achieve zero-defect manufacturing. Two significant factors affecting process robustness in production of deep drawn automotive parts are variations in material properties of the blanks and the tribology conditions of the process. It is imperative to understand how these factors […]
