As elucidated by StampingSimulation.com in their article “What is Springback in Forming Simulations and How to Identify It,” springback is a phenomenon that emerges during the metal forming process. Once a sheet of metal is plastically deformed by a forming tool to attain a desired shape, the sheet’s final form can alter once the forming… Continue reading Dynamic Die: Unveiling Springback in Metal Forming Simulations

When trying to determine the source of splits and wrinkles in their formed components, metal stampers often forget about anisotropy. Also known as directionality, anisotropy is a change in the crystalline structure of metals during the rolling process. Both cold- and hot-formed coils are subject to anisotropy from the intense force of the rolling operation.… Continue reading The problem of anisotropy in metal forming
