Abstract

A new sheet metal forming process, called flexibly reconfigurable roll forming (FRRF), is expected to resolve the economical limitation of the existing 3D curved sheet metal forming processes. The height-controllable guides and a couple of flexible rollers are utilized as the forming tool. Recently, as the 3D curved sheet metal is increasingly demanded in various fields, the application of FRRF to diverse materials is necessary. In addition, the formability comparison of several materials is needed. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the applicability of FRRF for different materials such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys, and also the formability of these materials was compared using FRRF. The numerical simulation was conducted using ABAQUS, the commercial software, and the experiments were carried out using an FRRF apparatus to validate the simulation results. Finally, the applicability of FRRF for the chosen materials and the formability of these materials on FRRF process were confirmed by comparing the simulation and experimental results.
