Abstract

Nowadays, the efficient manufacturing of functional components in short process chains is important due to the goal of a further reduction of greenhouse gases. Additionally, there are also technical demands like functional integration combined with an improvement of the component’s properties. Previous investigations have shown that the application of tailored blanksTailored blank with a defined thickness profile can lead to an improvement of the geometrical and mechanical properties of functional components. However, common forming processes reach their limits. A promising approach to enlarge these process limits is the application of bulk forming operations to sheet metals, the so-called sheet–bulk metal forming (SBMF). Within this process class, one possibility for manufacturing such blanks is a flexible rollingFlexible rolling process. As a result of movement of two rolling tools in combination with a die cavity in the lower tool, a defined geometry can be manufactured perpendicular to the sheet plane. In order to raise the complexity combined with a shorter process chain and thus to fulfil the requirements defined by the subsequent forming operations, a new design that contains a preform of involute gearings is introduced. In order to acquire process knowledge, the mild deep drawing steel DC04 with an initial sheet thickness of t0 = 2.0 mm is used. Furthermore, the subsequent application of the tailored blanks in a combined deep drawing and upsetting process is shown, with a characterization of the geometrical and mechanical properties.
