Iterative methods based on finite element simulation are effective approaches to design mold shape to compensate springback in sheet metal forming.However,convergence rate of iterative methods is difficult to improve greatly.To increase the springback compensate speed of designing age forming mold,process of calculating springback for a certain mold with finite element method is analyzed.Springback compensation is abstracted as finding a solution for a set of nonlinear functions and a springback compensation algorithm is presented on the basis of quasi Newton method.The accuracy of algorithm is verified by developing an ABAQUS secondary development program with MATLAB.Three rectangular integrated panels of dimensions 710 mm′750 mm integrated panels with intersected ribs of 10 mm are selected to perform case studies.The algorithm is used to compute mold contours for the panels with cylinder,sphere and saddle contours respectively and it takes 57%,22%and 33%iterations as compared to that of displacement adjustment(DA)method.At the end of iterations,maximum deviations on the three panels are 0.618 4 mm,0.624 1 mm and 0.342 0 mm that are smaller than the deviations determined by DA method(0.740 8 mm,0.740 8 mm and 0.713 7 mm respectively).In following experimental verification,mold contour for another integrated panel with 400 mm*380 mm size is designed by the algorithm.Then the panel is age formed in an autoclave and measured by a three dimensional digital measurement devise.Deviation between measuring results and the panel's design contour is less than 1 mm.Finally,the iterations with different mesh sizes(40 mm,35mm,30 mm,25 mm,20 mm)in finite element models are compared and found no considerable difference.Another possible compensation method,Broyden-Fletcher-Shanmo method,is also presented based on the solving nonlinear functions idea.The Broyden-Fletcher-Shanmo method is employed to compute mold contour for the second panel.It only takes 50%iterations compared to that of DA.The proposed method can serve a faster mold contour compensation method for sheet metal forming.

Forming limit curves(FLCs) are commonly used for evaluating the formability of sheet metals. However, it is difficult to obtain the FLCs with desirable accuracy by experiments due to that the friction effects are non-negligible under warm/hot stamping conditions. To investigate the experimental errors, experiments for obtaining the FLCs of the AA5754 are conducted at 250℃. Then, FE models are created and validated on the basis of experimental results. A number of FE simulations are carried out for FLC test-pieces and punches with different geometry configurations and varying friction coefficients between the test-piece and the punch. The errors for all the test conditions are predicted and analyzed. Particular attention of error analysis is paid to two special cases, namely, the biaxial FLC test and the uniaxial FLC test. The failure location and the variation of the error with respect to the friction coefficient are studied as well. The results obtained from the FLC tests and the above analyses show that, for the biaxial tension state, the friction coefficient should be controlled within 0.15 to avoid significant shifting of the necking location away from the center of the punch; for the uniaxial tension state, the friction coefficient should be controlled within 0.1 to guarantee the validity of the data collected from FLC tests. The conclusions summarized are beneficial for obtaining accurate FLCs under warm/hot stamping conditions.

Bearing ring is the crucial component of bearing. With regard to such problems as material waste, low efficiency and high energy consumption in current process of producing large bearing ring, a new process named "casting-rolling compound forming technology" is researched by taking the typical 42CrMo slew bearing as object. Through theoretical analysis, the design criteria of the main casting-rolling forming parameters are put forward at first. Then the constitutive relationship model of as-cast 42CrMo steel and its mathematical model of dynamic recrystallization are obtained according to the results of the hot compression experiment. By a coupled thermal-mechanical finite element model for radial-axial rolling of bearing ring, the fraction of dynamic recrystallization is calculated and recrystallized grains size are predicated. Meanwhile, the effects of the initial rolling temperature and feed rate of idle roll on material microstructure evolution are analyzed. Finally, the industrial rolling experiment is designed and performed, based on the simulation results. In addition, mechanical and metallographic tests are conducted on rolled bearing ring to get the mechanical parameters and metallographic structure. The experimental data and results show that the mechanical properties of bearing ring produced by casting-rolling compound forming technology are up to industrial standard, and a qualified bearing ring can be successfully formed by employing this new technology. Through the study, a process of forming large bearing ring directly by using casting ring blank is obtained, which could provide an effective theoretical guidance for manufacturing large ring parts. It also has an edge in saving material, lowering energy and improving efficiency.
