Electrically-assisted forming of 5754 aluminium alloy under different strain conditions

Abstract

Electricity-assisted forming processes can significantly improve material ductility and process efficiency. However, further research into different strain conditions is necessary, for example, in stamping processes. In this study, tensile and deep drawing tests of the 5754 aluminium alloy were carried out with the application of current pulses on a specially constructed experimental setup. The study showed that it is possible to increase the plasticity of the material. The main cause responsible for the increase in plasticity was dynamic recovery.
