ABSTRACT
Ultra-High Strength Steel (UHSS) sheets have been widely used for lightweight structure design because of their high specific strength characteristic in the automobile industry. However, the final stages of the manufacturing process, such as trimming and hole piercing of formed parts, lead to tool damage issues due to a subsequent increase in high yield stress. Conventional mechanical trimming techniques have some problems with UHSS because punch and die wear out and work hardened parts often cannot be trimmed. High-Speed Impact Trimming (HSIT) can be an alternative in this case. The basic principle of the HSIT process is that the high-speed trimming punch can cut off the scrap within a few microseconds leading to adiabatic conditions within the narrow shear band. In this study, the sheared edge quality using the HSIT under large clearance is investigated for CP1180-1.2t steel sheet with numerical and experimental methods. In order to consider the physical effects in numerical condition, Johnson-Cook hardening and damage models were employed so that the strain hardening, rate hardening, and thermal softening is reflected in simulation results. The experimental results show that high punch speed makes straight trimmed edge compared to conventional trimming under the same large clearance. The numerical simulation results also show that the faster punch speed of HSIT causes a deformation mode close to pure shear in the shear band, enabling more effective trimming with a good sheared edge quality.
