Forming & design of components
Objectives
Support ArcelorMittal's product development for the forming of new steel products by developing:
- Knowledge and technical expertise
- Simulation tools
- Part design and processing guidelines
- Technical support
Stamping, especially related to high strength steels
- Springback calculation, reduction and compensation
- Layout of stamping ranges, feasibility studies, process optimisation
- Experimental forming limit diagnostics
- Press forces and dye wear
Tube hydroforming
A complete expertise in:
- Material characterisation of tubes
- Design of hydroformed components
Assisted by:
- Expertise on reliable numerical simulations
- Practical process know-how on our own facility
Roll-forming
Promotion of the following qualities:
- Highly productive process for the forming of high strength steels
- Unique ability to easily control and correct springback
Bending of the roll-formed components is also considered.
Hot stamping
- Support our clients in the introduction and usage of ArcelorMittal's ultra high strength steel dedicated to the cutting edge process: Usibor 1500P
- Specific developments in the field of numerical simulation of the process for reliable feasibility analysis, part design and process layout
