Simulation-Based Parametric Study for the Hybrid Superplastic Forming of AZ31 by Al-Abtaha, Fatima Ghassan

“…Investigation for the impact of different forming process parameters achieved by comparing forming time and the distribution of final thickness that were obtained from the simulation analysis. Maximum thinning decreased from over 67% to less than 55% and forming time significantly decreased by more than 6 minutes, and the required gas pressure profile was predicted for optimum forming process parameters based on the 0.001/sec target constant strain rate within the sheet.…”
