    Analysis of Non-Isothermal Warm Deep Drawing of Dual-Phase Dp600 Steel
    (Springer France, 2019) Pepelnjak, T.; Kayhan, E.; Kaftanoglu, B.
    Improving the formability of the material is a key issue in the deep drawing process. Heating the material above its recrystallization temperature drastically increases formability, but in the case of dual phase (DP) steels, it results in a loss of their mechanical properties. To improve the drawing ratio, only the heating of the flange region in the warm temperature range up to 573K was studied on DP600 sheet steel by numerical simulation. A thermo-elastic-plastic finite element method (FEM) analysis of deep drawing at several drawing ratios was performed and compared with experimental results. During the experiments, the flange area of the blank was heated by induction heating, and the central part over the punch was cooled with spray water. Experimental results showed that limiting drawing ratio could be increased by 25.58%. The microstructure of the DP 600 steel was analyzed before and after the warm forming process. No significant changes were observed, and the high strength properties of the DP 600 steel remained intact. There was good agreement between numerical and experimental results.

    Effect of Hardening Models on Different Ductile Fracture Criteria in Sheet Metal Forming
    (Springer France, 2016) Dizaji, Shahram Abbasnejad; Darendeliler, Haluk; Kaftanoglu, Bilgin
    Prediction of the fracture is one of the challenging issues which gains attention in sheet metal forming as numerical analyses are being extensively used to simulate the process. To have better results in predicting the sheet metal fracture, appropriate ductile fracture criterion (DFC), yield criterion and hardening rule should be chosen. In this study, the effects of different hardening models namely isotropic, kinematic and combined hardening rules on the various uncoupled ductile fracture criteria are investigated using experimental and numerical methods. Five different ductile fracture criteria are implemented to a finite element code by the user subroutines. The criterion constants of DFCs are obtained by the related experimental tests. The in-plane principle strains obtained by the finite element analyses for different DFCs are compared with the experimental results. Also, the experimental results are used to evaluate the principle strain values calculated by the finite element analysis for different combinations of DFCs and hardening rules. It is shown that some DFCs give better predictions if the appropriate hardening model is employed.
