COMPUTER-AIDED SELECTION OF STEELS FOR THE REALISING OF BIMETALLIC DEEP-DRAWN PARTS
Melania TERA, Cristian DEAC
Abstract: The current paper presents a method for the global assessment of a material's formability and weldability, in order to allow the realizing of deep-drawn parts made of two or more steel sheets, the one made of plain carbon steel and the other of high-quality alloyed steel joined together by welding. The paper analyses the various parameters that contribute to a material's formability and weldability and proposes a unique parameter that can be used to describe a given material's behaviour when subjected to the indicated assembling and processing technology. Furthermore, a computer-aided material selection approach for this application is described. This will allow a producer to select the right materials for such procedures in a more rational manner.
Key words: deep-drawing, steel, formability, weldability, computer-aided selection.
