Abstract
This paper encompasses experimental investigation
regarding the forming of aluminum 2024. Effect of processing
parameters on material flow, formability and hardness of the
alloy was studied in detail. Conventional press with movable
punch was employed for sheet forming of aluminum alloy.
Forming process involved cold working of aluminum 2024 during
deep drawing (forming) operation. Cold work resulted in grain
elongation and hardening of the alloy. Premature fracture
occurred before reaching the desired depth. Tuning the process
parameters facilitated the material flow, ultimately improving
the formability of the alloy with current process. FE analysis was
performed using ANSYS® for predicting and augmenting
forming behavior of the alloy.
