Abstract

The formability of aluminum alloy sheet is usually improved during electromagnetic forming (EMF). Here, the ductility enhancement mechanism was investigated on the basis of Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model. The parameters of GTN models under quasi-static tension and EMF conditions were respectively determined by inverse identification. For AA2024-O aluminum alloy sheet under quasi-static tension, the initial void volume fraction is identified as 0.006, the critical void volume fraction where voids begin to aggregate is 0.075, the void volume fraction of nucleating particles is 0.131 and the mean nucleation strain is 0.44. With the similar initial void volume fraction, the other parameters under EMF condition are determined as 0.045, 0.055 and 0.58. The evolution curve of void volume fraction with strain were compared under EMF condition and quasi-static tension. The results show that the total growth of void volume fraction is less under EMF condition than that under quasi-static tension. A box part with inclined flange was preliminary achieved by electromagnetic forming process. The GTN model was finally verified by comparing the numerical and experimental results.
