Abstract
Due to the current changes in mobility, lightweight design concepts continue to be of particular interest to the automotive industry. One form is the multi-material design, in which the advantageous properties of different materials are combined in one component. In this work, a component made of a steel sheet with stiffening structures of cast aluminum is considered. The joint is created by channel structures with undercuts on the surface of the steel sheet, into which the molten aluminum can flow. After solidification, an interlocking connection is created. The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of a bending operation on the surface structure before the die casting process. Numerical simulations and experimental validations were performed with different bending angles and radii as well as orientations between the channel structure and the punch. The results show that the undercuts on the outer radius are reduced by up to 75% by the bending operation, thus weakening the resulting joint. On the inner radius, the channel opening width narrows by up to 73% and can thus impede the filling with the melt.
期刊介绍：
The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.
The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.
All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.
