- a diameter of the punched hole of 20 mm, which is significantly larger compared to the test according to DIN ISO 16630, the influence of the sheet thickness in the typical sheet thickness range of 1.0 to 2.0 mm is comparatively low.
- the achieved hole expansion values of the different punches are more easily compared by a geometric conversion to the center plane of the metal sheet. Assuming “single-axis tensile force” on the edge and using the measured hole expansion, the sheet thickness reduction can be found according to the relationships depicted in Table 4:
- the effects which occur in the hole expansion experiments carried out in the manner explained above can be detected by means of FE analysis.
- the moment of failure and/or the maximum possible expansion is determined by means of video analysis.
- the process is observed centrally from above by means of a camera.
- the hole expansion and/or the diameter of the inner edge delimiting the given hole can be measured before the moment of failure and calculated as a percentage hole expansion with respect to the exit diameter.
- the image frequency of the video film is at least 10 images per mm of punch path, for a punch speed of 1 mm/s.
- the drawing depth was analyzed in a limiting dome height test (LDH test).
- LDH test limiting dome height test
- the material flow from the flange region is completely prevented during formation, and the material is formed with a 0100 mm hemispherical punch (Nakazima tool) up to material failure (see FIG. 1 ).
- the hold-down force was set to 400 kN, and the drawing speed to 1.0 mm/sec (+/— 0 . 2 ).
- FIG. 3 shows a diagram in which the hole expansion achieved is shown in each case as a function of the opening angle of the forming punch used relative to the center plane, according to the conversion explained above.
- the metal sheets being tested were each 1.5 mm thick.
- One group consisted of a steel composed according to the invention in accordance with the melt analysis A in Table 1 (the associated values are reproduced in FIG. 2 by circles connected to one another by a dotted line).
- the other group consisted of a conventional steel available under the name “DP800-DH”, which consists, in % by mass, of 0.157% C, 1.98% Mn, 0.114% Si, 0.324% Al, 0.106% Cr, 0.004% Ti, 0.0002% B, 0.012% P, 0.001% S, 0.0038% N, 0.02% Mo, 0.022% Nb, 0.01% Cu, 0.001% V, 0.02% Ni, and iron and unavoidable impurities as the remainder.
- the hole expansions achieved in the sheet metal samples consisting of the material according to the invention were clearly better than in the case of the sheet-metal samples consisting of the conventional steel.
