Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop formability evaluation techniques in order to apply aluminum sandwich panel for automotive body parts. For this purpose, newly adopting formability evaluation (using limit dome height and plane strain test) was carried out in order to secure the fundamental data for the measurement of sheet metal forming and the establishment of optimum forming conditions of the aluminum sandwich panel. The results showed that there were good agreements between the old formability evaluation method and the new method which was more simplified than that of old one. From the results of these formability evaluation, the formability of sandwich panel was higher than that of aluminum alloy sheet alone which was the skin component for the sandwich panel. Also, it was found that sandwich panel could reduce the weight and could have the same flexural rigidity simultaneously when it was compared to the automotive steel sheet.
