The efficient process of
orbital forming can be used to manufacture functional components with a varying
sheet thickness profile. It is characterized by a tumbling movement of the die
and counterpunch, thus reducing the contact area between work piece and tool as
well as the maximum forming force significantly. Within the project A1 of the Transregional
Collaborative Research Centre (TCRC 73), the process of orbital forming has
been investigated fundamentally. The control of the material flow to increase
the maximum form filling could be identified as major challenge. The objective
of this transfer project is the enlargement of the forming limits in comparison
to conventional orbital forming by developing and applying tailor-made process and
heat treatment strategies for industrial relevant steel and aluminum alloys.
For the purpose of a transfer to industrial application, a demonstrator
geometry with a varying sheet thickness profile is defined. Main aspects of the
investigation are the resulting geometric and mechanic properties and the
possibility to enlarge the forming limits. The final geometric shape is
realized by applying different cutting operations. An industrial application is
evaluated by assembling the demonstrator to a near-series clutch disc and analyzing
the functional behavior.
