Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming sheet metal articles, such as automotive body panels, having significant curvatures in front-to-back and side-to-side directions. Opposing, complementary, preforming and final shape forming tools are used in a single press. A sheet of superplastically or quick plastically formable sheet metal alloy, heated to a forming temperature, is first stretched against the preform tool by the final shape tool to form a preform that has experienced most of the metal stretching required for the final part shape. The preform is removed from the preform tool and formed against the opposing, final shape tool with pressurized gas to obtain the final sheet metal part shape.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming complex structures from aluminum alloys, particularly from naturally hard AlMg alloys, naturally hard AlMgSc alloys and/or age-hardenable AlMgLi alloys. It is an object of the invention to provide such a method by means of which, in a simple manner, that is, by means of as few process steps as possible, complex structures can be formed from the alloys according to the invention such that they almost assume their final shape without any significant spring-back. Simultaneously, the loss of material is to be kept as low as possible. According to the invention, this is achieved by means of the following steps: Elastic forming of a component (1) to be formed into a defined contour (2a) under the effect of external force (F,P, p); and heating-up of the elastically formed component (1) to a temperature (T1) higher than the temperature required for a creep formation and relaxation of tensions of the alloy, so that the component (1) is formed while retaining the contour (2a).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing components from a blank (P1-P4) made of a deep-drawable material, particularly steel using a free-flowing action medium. In the course of this method, the blank (P1-P4) is clamped in a forming device (U1, U2) and an action medium is applied to it. The blank (P1-P4) is then preformed by elevating the pressure (P) exercised by the action medium in a region of the blank (P1-P4) which is restricted to a section (V1, V2) of the blank surface and which partially covers the surface section (B1, B2) of the blank (P1-P4) from which the final form of the component is generated. Subsequently, the preformed blank (P1-P4) is finish formed using a forming tool (F1, F2). In this way, components having complex shapes may be produced with optimum exploitation of the properties of the material used.

Abstract: A sheet hydroforming method is disclosed wherein two stacked metallic sheets are clamped between a pair of upper and lower dies 10, 11 and a fluid is introduced and pressurized between mating surfaces of the metallic sheets, causing the metallic sheets to bulge into a space defined by die cavities 10b and 11b. A thru-hole 11d for introducing the fluid is formed in one of the dies so as to lead to a holding surface of the die, while a pierced hole for introducing the fluid is formed in one of the metallic sheets in a portion of the one metallic sheet which portion is in contact with a holding surface 10a (10b) of one of the dies, the pierced hole being positioned with the thru-hole 11d, then the fluid is introduced in a pressurized state between mating surfaces of the metallic sheets from the thru-hole through the pierced hole, thereby causing the metallic sheets to bulge. According to this method, a pressurized fluid can be introduced between the mating surfaces of blanks easily without leakage of the fluid. Not only the efficiency of the sheet hydroforming method but also the dent resistance of a formed part can be improved.

Abstract: Capitalizing on the unique feature of our induction heating workcell that permits rapid and controlled heating and cooling of a workpiece within a wide temperature range permits combining several manufacturing operations into a single heating cycle to save time, energy, capital, touch labor, and factory space. For example, we can combine superplastic forming (SPF) with annealing; two operations that occur at temperatures that differ by about 150-200.degree. F. (85-105.degree. C.) or more, to produce quality parts. We mill parts flat to simplify their machining, form them to complex curvature, and anneal them.
