Evaluation of Forming Property of AISI 1008 by Tensile Test

Abstract

In current engineering world, lead time for the development of new forming component is very crucial. Each and every industry uses sheet metal forming Simulation software for reducing Lead Time for the Development of new forming component. The accuracy of the simulations is to a large extent dependent on the quality of the material properties provided as input to simulations. Improving the quality of material properties is the key factor in order to further increase the accuracy of simulation. So Tensile Test is performed for AISI 1008 steel on universal tensile testing machine to determines the mechanical Properties. Forming limit Diagram (FLD) is the key factor for finding the formability of the material. FLD by tensile test enables fast and easy determination of forming limit and shows less scatter in results. This test procedure applied only to the negative side of the FLD.
