Numerical Investigation on the Hot Forming and Cold-Die Quenching of an Aluminium-Magnesium Alloy into a Complex Component

Abstract:

An FE model for the hot forming and cold-die quenching (HFQ) process was developed. This model was verified by HFQ experiments through a comparison of the thickness distribution between the simulated and experimental results; good correlation with a deviation of less than 5% was achieved. In addition, this FE model was used to study the effects of forming speed on the thickness distribution of a HFQ formed part, and it was found that a higher forming speed is beneficial for HFQ forming, as it led to improved thickness homogeneity and less thinning.
