Deep drawn shapes with orthogonal wall components are usually evaluated by shape accuracy and visual quality. There have been only a few investigations on the stability of such structures; however, the effect of the wrinkles on the stability of the wall is important for packaging applications and can support the shape accuracy. This paper focuses on the influences of process parameters on the stability of orthogonal walls of shapes produced by deep drawing with rigid tools and immediate compression. The wall stability was evaluated by tensile testing orthogonal to the direction of the wrinkles. The stability distribution was characterized with regard to the drawing height, and a comparison was made between the two different materials. The wall stability decreased with increases in the forming height. Furthermore, a blank holder force design and z-directional compression level improved the wall stability. Together with an elevated moisture content of the material and thermal energy supply that delivered two to three times higher resistance against wrinkle extension, these effects drastically improved the wall stability.

Dans l'industrie aéronautique, les alliages de titane sont utilisés pour leur excellent comportement mécanique associé à une faible masse volumique. Ils sont largement employés sous forme de tôles dont la mise en forme peut se faire par le biais de trois procédés : à température ambiante par opération d'emboutissage, à très hautes températures (T≈900°C) par formage superplastique (SPF) et à des températures intermédiaires (T=730°C, 880°C) par formage à chaud (HF). Le projet repose sur le développement du procédé d'emboutissage à chaud d'une tôle d'alliage de titane Ti-6Al-4V en conditions isothermes à des températures inférieures à 700°C. Par conséquent, la détermination des paramètres procédés et matériaux constitue une étape importante pour la mise en œuvre de simulations numériques et contribue à la réussite des opérations d'emboutissage de pièces industrielles. Ces paramètres procédés sont liés à la vitesse du poinçon, aux efforts de serre-flan et au frottement induit entre le flan et l'outillage. Leur analyse a permis de déterminer deux niveaux de températures (400°C et 500°C) offrant une chute drastique du coût énergétique, en comparaison des procédés HF ou SPF, tout en conservant des niveaux d'allongement suffisants. Les paramètres matériaux influençant le comportement de l'alliage sont analysés et quantifiés. Ils peuvent être influencés par plusieurs mécanismes : élasticité, viscosité, anisotropie (Hill48, Barlat91) et nature de l’écrouissage (isotrope, cinématique). Dans cette étude, un modèle de comportement élasto-viscoplastique anisotrope, capable de considérer les trajets de chargement subis par la tôle lors de sa mise en forme, a été formulé pour les deux niveaux de température. L’implantation du modèle de comportement a été réalisée dans le code de calcul éléments finis Abaqus/Standard 6.14® interfacé avec le logiciel ZMAT®. Elle a permis d’une part des simulations d’emboutissage de profil Omega pour lesquelles des comparaisons avec les expériences ont été réalisées et d’autre part, des calculs sur une pièce de forme complexe. / In the aerospace industry, titanium alloys are used for their excellent mechanical behavior associated with low density. They are widely available in sheet form and the final shape can be obtained through three processes: at room temperature by stamping operation, at very high temperatures (T≈900°C) by superplastic forming (SPF) and at intermediate temperature (T=730°C, 880°C) by hot forming (HF). The project is based on the development of the hot stamping process of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheet under isothermal conditions at temperatures below than 700°C. Therefore, the determination of the process and material parameters constitutes an important stage for implementing the numerical simulation while contributing to the success of the stamping operation at the scale of an industrial part. The process parameters are related to the punch speed, the blank holder forces and the friction induced between the sheet and the tool. Their analysis allowed to determine two temperature levels (400°C et 500°C) leading a drastic drop in energy cost, compared to HF or SPF processes, while maintaining enough elongation levels. The material parameters influencing the behavior of the alloy are analyzed and quantified. They can be influenced by several mechanisms: elasticity, viscosity, anisotropy (Hill48, Barlat91) and nature of hardening (isotropic, kinematic). In this study, an anisotropic elasto-viscoplastic behavior model, able to consider the loading path undergone by sheet during forming, has been formulated for both temperature levels. The implementation of the behavior model is achieved in Abaqus/Standard 6.14® Finite Element code with the material library plugin ZMAT®. It enables, on the one hand, stamping numerical simulations of a simple shape Omega profile for which experimental comparisons were done, on the other hand, calculations on an industrial part with a complex shape.

Simulations highlighted the necessary control parameters required to obtain good quality of the strip. These were: control alloy solidification interval, pouring temperature, roll speeds, ceramic nozzle temperature at the lower roll, quality of the roll surface finishing and tundish geometry. The Pb-30%Sn alloy, which has a much higher solidification interval in comparison with the other alloys tested, was difficult to thixoroll. This is because alloys with a high solidification interval tend to form hot tears at the end of solidification, and prevent a plastic metallic mush from forming. The probable solution to obtaining a semi-solid fused strip of good quality with this material, is to apply an inoculation that produces fine grains just before the pouring. In contrast, the parameter control for thixorolling of the Sn-37%Pb alloy, with lesser solidification interval and elevated fluidity, needed to be rigorous to obtain a continuous strip.

Deep drawing of paperboard with rigid tools and immediate compression has only a small presence in the market for secondary packaging solutions due to a lack of understanding of the physical relations that occur during the forming process. As with other processes that deal with interactions between two solids in contact, the control of the factors that affect friction is important due to friction’s impact on runnability and process reliability. A new friction measurement device was developed to evaluate the factors influencing the friction behavior of paperboard such as under the specific conditions of the deep drawing process, which differ from the standard friction testing methods. The tribocharging of the contacting surfaces, generated during sliding friction, was determined to be a major influence on the dynamic coefficient of friction between paperboard and metal. The same effect could be examined during the deep drawing process. With increased contact temperature due to the heating of the tools, the coefficient of friction decreased significantly, but it remained constant after reaching a certain charging state after several repetitions. Consequently, to avoid ruptures of the wall during the forming process, tools that are in contact with the paperboard should be heated.

Le procédé de mise en forme des tôles métalliques, généralement oxydées, par emboutissage est en pleine évolutionpour répondre à de nouveaux besoins : intervalles de tolérances dimensionnelles de plus en plus étroits, productionen grande série à faible coût, apparition de nouvelles nuances de matériaux, souci écologique. La réussite d’une telleopération est prédominée par le contrôle du frottement au niveau du contact entre tôle à former et outil enmouvement relatif. Pour ce faire, nous proposons dans cette thèse de fonctionnaliser la surface de la tôle en ygreffant des molécules organiques auto-assemblées, par simple immersion dans une solution contenant les moléculesréactives. Le couple métal/molécule retenu pour cette étude est un substrat massif de cuivre pur avec des moléculesd’acides alkylphosphoniques (CnH2n+1PO(OH)2) dans le but d’établir une corrélation entre les propriétésphysicochimiques des films ainsi formés et leur comportement tribologique. La réponse en frottement a été étudiéepar deux moyens de simulation expérimentale des conditions de contact (tribomètres bille/plan et étirage-plan). Nousavons considéré l’influence des trois facteurs de préparation de substrat suivant μ la nature de surface juste avant safonctionnalisation (présence d’une couche d’oxyde ou d’hydroxyde), le nettoyage de surface aux ultrasons après safonctionnalisation (élimination des espèces physisorbées) et la longueur de chaîne alkyle de la moléculeorganophosphonique (n=4, 12 et 16). Bien que la formulation de cette fonctionnalisation soit simple (élaborée àpartir d’une seule molécule), les techniques d’investigation de surface (PM-IRRAS, XPS, électrochimie, MEB,…)montrent que les films auto-assemblés sont constitués d’une bicouche de bonne qualité de greffage et de propriétésanticorrosion. Cette bicouche est composée d’une première monocouche de molécules chimisorbées à la surface (ouSAM) sur laquelle est déposée une deuxième couche d’amas physisorbés. D’autre part, notre étude a montréégalement que les amas physisorbés ont un rôle primordial dans le comportement tribologique du film auto-assemblé(abaissement et stabilité du coefficient de frottement et prévention contre le grippage). / Sheet metal forming processes are quickly evolving to meet new requirements of deep drawing such as: continuousminimization of dimensional tolerances intervals, cost efficiency at mass production, appearance of new materialstypes, environmental concern. The success of such operation is predominated by controlling friction at the contactbetween the metal sheet and forming tool in relative motion. In the present work, we propose to functionalize themetal sheet surface using grafting of self-assembled organic molecules by simple immersion in a solution containingthe reactive molecules. Consequently, thin film of alkylphosphonic acid (CnH2n+1PO(OH)2) was grafted on copperoxide substrate in order to establish a correlation between the physicochemical properties of the films andtribological behavior. Frictional response was studied by two experimental means of contact conditions (stripdrawing testing and ball-on-plane tribometer). The influence of three factors for the preparation of substrate wasconsidered. Firstly, the nature of its surface just before functionalization including the presence of an oxide orhydroxide layer was studied. Then, the ultrasonic surface cleaning after functionalization (removal physisorbedspecies) and finally, the alkyl chain length of the organophosphonic molecule (n = 4, 12 and 16). Although theformation of this functionalization is simple (made from a single molecule), the surface investigation techniques(PM- IRRAS , XPS, electrochemistry , SEM, .., etc.) show that self-assembled films consist of a bilayer with a goodgrafting quality and anticorrosion properties. The bilayer is composed of a first monolayer of molecules chemisorbedon the surface (or SAM) on which a second layer of physisorbed species is deposited. Furthermore, this study alsoshowed that the physisorbed species have a key role in the tribological behavior of self-assembled film (lower andstable friction coefficient and high resistance to galling).

Deep drawn shapes with orthogonal wall components are usually evaluated by shape accuracy and visual quality. There have been only a few investigations on the stability of such structures; however, the effect of the wrinkles on the stability of the wall is important for packaging applications and can support the shape accuracy. This paper focuses on the influences of process parameters on the stability of orthogonal walls of shapes produced by deep drawing with rigid tools and immediate compression. The wall stability was evaluated by tensile testing orthogonal to the direction of the wrinkles. The stability distribution was characterized with regard to the drawing height, and a comparison was made between the two different materials. The wall stability decreased with increases in the forming height. Furthermore, a blank holder force design and z-directional compression level improved the wall stability. Together with an elevated moisture content of the material and thermal energy supply that delivered two to three times higher resistance against wrinkle extension, these effects drastically improved the wall stability.

The application of the wrinkle measuring method described in Müller et al. (2017) and the subsequent evaluation algorithm of a range of deep-drawn samples were used to determine the influences and interdependencies of blankholder force, tool temperatures, and drawing height on the formation of wrinkles in paperboard. The main influences were identified and quantitatively evaluated. For the given experimental space, a regression function was derived and validated in further experiments. It was shown that a quadratic regression was superior to the previously used linear regression. The findings were discussed and compared with the results of similar experiments from past publications. Special attention was given to the wrinkles formed and the resulting quality of the formed paperboard cups. The restrictions of the data acquisition from the measuring method that was used and limitations of the model were presented to demonstrate the reliability of the results.
