Properties and application of high-manganese TWIP-steels in sheet metal forming

摘要

Within this work uniaxial tensile tests have been performed with high-manganese TWIP-steel and different dual-phase steels to determine mechanical properties. The transfer of the results form uniaxial tensile tests to multi-axial stresses has been made with deep drawing experiments to describe and assess deep and stretch formability of the analysed materials. Forming limits of materials are demonstrated by forming limit diagrams. FE-simulation systems have been applied to predict deep drawing and spring-back behaviour of high-manganese TWIP in comparison to dual-phase steels. The simulation results are discussed between the different materials.
