Abstract  

The bimetal sheet products obtained by the incremental forming are gradually gaining popularity because of their excellent properties. The forming process of the bimetal sheets is more complicated than that of the single metal sheet because it involves a complex interface between the two metal sheets. The bonding strength of the interface is an important parameter for evaluating the bonding properties of a bimetal sheet. However, if the required bonding strength is higher than the strength of the substrate, appropriate strength is difficult to achieve using only experimental methods. An improved analytical method to calculate the interface bonding strength has been proposed based on the widely used interface model of an asymmetric double cantilever beam. This improved analytical method considers the plasticity of the interface. The interface bonding strength of the explosively welded T2/A1050 copper-aluminum bimetal sheet has been assessed using the improved method, and its interface bonding strength has been found to reach 208 MPa. This bonding strength has been used in a finite element model for the forming process of the bimetal sheet. The correctness of the method has been verified by comparing the analytical results with the experimental data. Furthermore, the influence of interface bonding strength on the maximum forming depth has been explored, and it has been found that the maximum forming depth increased by 210% when the interface bonding strength increased by 38%. Moreover, a three-dimensional model including a tool, the Cu-Al bimetal sheet, and a cohesive element between the two metal sheets has been suggested for investigating the bulge defect of the forming part. The bonding strength of the interface obtained above has again been utilized in the finite element analysis. The impacts of different reductions and tool diameters on the bulge defect of the forming part have systematically been discussed. The results show that bulge defect decreased by 57% when the reduction decreased from 2.0 mm to 0.5 mm, and the bulge defect decreased by 38% when the tool diameter increased from 10 mm to 22 mm. Optimized parameters have been suggested to effectively reduce the bulge defect by 53%.
