Abstract
Deviations of the properties of semi-finished sheet metal parts affect the finished part’s geometry and its properties. With knowledge of the deviations, forming processes can be adjusted to a certain degree in order to maintain the part quality. Typically, in mass production, the sheets are blanked before deep drawing. Within the blanking processes, the necessary cutting force and cutting stroke are both influenced by the properties of the material. Thus, by the analysis of the process data, which is obtained in blanking processes, deviations of the properties of semi-finished parts could be determined. Within the scope of the work, it is analyzed to which degree process data, which is gained during blanking processes, can be used for the determination of the properties of semi-finished parts and their deviations. For this purpose, a blanking process is investigated for two different batches of the dual phase steel DP600 with a nominal sheet thickness of 2.0 mm and varying mechanical properties. In addition, the sheet thickness of the specimens is reduced by 5 and 10 % for one batch. The recorded process data from the blanking process is correlated with the properties of the sheet materials, which are determined with uniaxial tensile tests.
