© 2015 G. F. Miori et al.The aim of this study is to determine the sheet metal formability of AA-5083-O sheets processed by the Friction Stir Processing (FSP). The FSP process was studied and a FSP tool was built. Processing ...

The formability of sheet metals is frequently characterized by the forming limit curve (FLC), which is determined by applying proportional loading paths until the onset of necking. However, metal forming processes usually ...

The objective of this work is to experimentally and numerically determine the influence of plastic anisotropy on the forming limit curve (FLC) for a heat-treated (300 C-1 h) AA1100 aluminum alloy sheet. The FLCs were ...

Los Diagramas Límite de Conformado (DLC), frecuentemente utilizados para caracterizar la formabilidad de chapas metálicas, se determinan asumiendo trayectorias de carga proporcionales hasta la ocurrencia de la inestabilidad ...

Research on zinc sheet formability, relevant for its technological applications, requires deeper understanding of the microstructural features that govern the plastic response of the material. In this work, a microstructural ...

A laboratory-scale device to obtain forming-limit diagram data was designed to utilize the Marciniak and Kuczynski (MK) sample geometry. The design uses a high-resolution photographic camera, automatic trigger, and ...
