Abstract

The process class sheet-bulk metal forming (SBMF) provides the manufacturing of local functional features in the magnitude of the sheet thickness through a controlled material flow. This paper gives an overview on the technology and application of various bulk forming operations on sheet metals. Based on the variety on the processes a classification by the specific kinematics is developed. The tools movement can be divided in a linear and rotational tool motion. It has been shown that the intended geometry is nearly impossible to achieve using conventional tooling systems even applying extremely high forces. Therefore multi-stage forming operations and several combinations of the presented SBMF processes often are used. An overview of existing SBMF operations in literature will be given. In addition some numerical studies and physical experiments will be shown, that can be used for analysis of materials flow, the interaction of tooling systems and the material flow within SBMF processes. © 2011 IBF (RWTH Aachen) & IUL (TU Dortmund).
