Hot Forming Simulation Algorithms of High-Strength Steels

Sheet metal stamping is based on the large plastic deformation of metal, with high nonlinear mechanical characteristics of geometry, physics, and boundary friction. In the traditional stamping process, it is necessary to design and manufacture prototypes, with many trial-productions and commissionings, for the design and manufacture of stamping tools, the determination of the blank’s shape and size, and the planning of stamping processes and parameters. It is a process of trial and error, resulting in large consumption of manpower, material and financial resources, high production costs, and long cycle.
