Abstract:

Multi-point forming is a modern flexible manufacturing technology, which has been used in many industries successfully. In order to provide a flexible method for forming a metal, multi-point forming is used to form aluminum alloy 2024 with an initial size of 300 × 300 mm sheet. Finite elements were simulated through ABAQUS/EXPLICIT 6.14.1. Through, increasing of elastic layer hardness, the minimum required a thickness of elastic layer proliferates. Furthermore, blank holder force increment has a direct relation with the enhancement in polyurethane layer hardness. The multi-point forming experiments of aluminum sheet are done, and the comparisons of a forming process between experimental parts and simulation functions are conducted, which establish that the aluminum products have good surface accuracy and shape accuracy.
