Abstract

The intensifying regulations for CO2 emissions of passenger cars lead to increased efforts in the field of lightweight construction. In this context, the application of aluminium is a promising strategy. Another approach is the implementation of high strength materials to enable the reduction of the wall thickness of components and to ensure the crash performance. The manufacturing of multi-layered aluminium sheet metal with enhanced strength and nanocrystalline grain structure can be performed using the Accumulative Roll Bonding process (ARB). However, the formability of ARB processed aluminium is relatively poor. Therefore, within this paper an innovative approach to enhance the formability is presented. Key idea of the local short term intermediate heat treatment is the tailoring of the mechanical properties between two forming operations. In order to identify suitable process parameters for beneficial heat treatment, the interaction of pre-straining and heat treatment is evaluated.
