Abstract
Abstract For the final quality of the part, metal forming trends are depending on improvements of friction and tribology. As a consequence, there is a trend in which tribology and friction are becoming increasingly important for correctly replicating the forming simulation of those parts. The objective of this work was to improve the forming simulation of an automotive shell part on AutoForm. The part was provided by a vehicle industry supplier. Enhanced Coulomb models consider a change on friction coefficient due to different factors, better approximating the description of friction to reality. For the current study, pressure and velocity dependent friction models were chosen as long as the combination of both. The virtual tribology was simulated using the software TriboForm. Velocity dependent friction model and the virtual tribology have shown similar results with expected lower coefficients of friction.
