オートフォームジャパン Company Profile

The "Mold Technology Conference 2024" will be held over two days from June 20 (Thursday) to June 21 (Friday) at the Ota City Industrial Plaza PiO. The theme for this event is "Let's Create! Mold Technology to Open Up the Future." AutoForm Japan Co., Ltd. will participate in both exhibitions and presentations! Press 1 (Analysis) Small Exhibition Hall 2nd Floor 403 - High-Precision Sheet Metal Forming Analysis Using a Moving Hardening Material Model Considering SD Effects In line with the trend of vehicle lightweighting, the use of aluminum and high-strength steel sheets is increasing. Forming analysis for evaluating the formability of such sheets is actively conducted, utilizing various material models. This research developed a material model that considers the Strength Differential Effect (SD Effect) and moving hardening, and introduced the developed material model into the AutoForm R&D Plugin. The existing material models and the developed model were incorporated into the forming analysis, and the results were compared and evaluated.
