EFFECT OF HEAT TREATMENT ON THE HYDROFORMABILITY OF 1060 AA 1MM THICK SHEET METAL

Dr. Ali H. Muhammed,Abdul Hakeem Amer S.Salim


Sheet metal technologies are challenged especially by the improvement in the automotive industry in the last decades to fulfill the customer expectations, safety requirements and market competitions, new production technologies have been implemented [1]. In this work the sheet metal used is 1060AA 1mm thick Aluminum alloy usually used for its light weight, high corrosion resistant, easy to recyclables and high strength to weight ratio. This sheet metal is to be formed by hydroforming process which used the hydraulic pressure as a punch to force the sheet metal to take the shape of the die cavity and study the formability of this alloy under different heat treatment procedures.
