| description | Sheet metal forming is one of the key processes for the automotive sector to be considered. Sheet metal formability is being tested as received, joining them with different welding/joining processes (i.e., tailored blanks) and making them as sandwich forms to reduce the total weight of the body. These sandwich formations of sheets are an advanced method by incorporating PVC/polymer sheets in between metal sheets with a suitable binder. The present work has investigated the formability of AA5052-PVC-AA5052 (Al-PVC-Al) sandwich sheets by considering the sheet rolling direction as a parameter. The mechanical properties of base metal and sandwich sheets were evaluated by conducting the uniaxial tensile tests. For forming behaviour of Al-PVC-Al sandwich sheets, in-plane plane stretching tests were performed on the universal tensile testing machine. From the results, it has been observed that 0-degree and 90-degree rolling direction of AA5052 sheets provided almost similar forming behaviour where the 45-degree rolling direction showed less formability. The limit strains (by which the forming limit curve has been developed and the safe and failure zones are separated) are 0.043, 0.038, and 0.043 of 0°, 45°, and 90°, respectively. Considering 0°-P-90°, 90°-P-90, 0°-P-45°, 0°-P-90°, and 45°-P-45° sandwich sheets with their corresponding limit strains of 0.060, 0.058,0.057, 0.052, and 0.050, a better formability is seen in 0°-P-90° sandwich, followed by 90°-P-90, 0°-P-45°, 0°-P-90°, and 45°-P-45°. The improvement in the formability is calculated as 28.33%, 25.86%, and 24.0% in comparison with the base metal in 0-degree, 90-degree, and 45-degree rolling directions and 0°-P-90°, 90°-P-90, and 45°-P-45° sandwich sheets. |
