Description
Summary:The present paper aims to analyse the forming capacity of stainless steel materials with hydroforming forming process. For this research, 1.4301 (X5CrNi18-10) austenitic stainless steel has been in focus for numerical and experimental analysis. The main advertised advantages of this material are ease of formability, good corrosion resistance and excellent aesthetic appearance for the end product. For proper forming evaluation tensile test, forming limit curves - Nakajima test have been carried out. The main material mechanical characteristics were processed in order to determine an accurate finite element model. The hydroforming drawn part was formed by a newly developed hydroforming press concept, developed by the authors. The numerical results were compared to the measured experimental results with the help of optical strain measurement software.
