Abstract

In this paper, the forming limits of AA7075 demonstrators with different initial blank shape under hot stamping conditions were predicted using the developed model, named the viscoplastic-Hosford-MK model. The developed model enables the representation of non-isothermal conditions, changes in strain rate and loading path for AA7075 material. Additionally, the developed model was calibrated using the fundamental experiments including uniaxial and formability tests. To assess the capability of the proposed model, the forming limit of AA7075 with different initial blank shape designs were predicted, and the optimal initial blank shape was verified by applying it to the practical forming of a demonstrator AA7075 component.
