Abstract
Forming limit curve (FLC) is a valuable tool for predicting the formability of materials. Considering the need to develop FLC for fiber metal laminates (FMLs), Glare in a 2/1 sequence was prepared for the development of FLC. The prepreg used was glass fiber stacked in between the aluminum sheets in a semi-cured state, which allows for enhanced strain percentage and helps predict the maximum forming limit of Glare. The experimental data was accumulated by comprehensively testing parameters like pressure rate, temperature, and blank holding pressure. The results show that at higher temperatures and reduced pressure rate and blank holding pressure, the formability of Glare can be enhanced. This study helps predict the safe zone when forming Glare and manufacturing small intricate parts of Glare material in engineering applications.
