Investigation of the design process for the Chain-die forming technology based on the developed multi-stand numerical model

The Chain-die forming process is a novel sheet metal forming technology which can be considered as a continuous stamping process. The approach aims to reduce or even eliminate the redundant deformation when manufacturing advanced high strength steel (AHSS) products by utilizing a virtual roll with sufficiently large radius. In previous researches, single-stand finite element models were employed to investigate the characteristics of the...
