A Method to Optimize Aluminum Alloy Door Impact Beam Stamping Process Using NSGA-II

Article Preview

Abstract:

The process parameters of aluminium alloy hot stamping produce an importantly effect on production forming quality. In the case of a door impact beam inside the car doors, the fi-nite-element model of aluminium alloy hot stamping is set up. Based on the model, the forming quality is investigated under usual process condition. Using the Latin hypercube method, we sampled the data points from design space of process parameters. Data points are imported into finite-element model to calculate the forming quality indices. According to their responding values, the quadratic response surfaces between process parameter inputs and forming quality indices are initialized. By optimized the response of the process parameters exercising multi-objective genetic algorithm—NSGA-II (non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm), the Pareto combinations of blank hold force and stamping velocity are obtained. Finally, by comparison with the results of stamping trial and numerical simula-tion, it is concluded that the finite-element model can be used to predict forming defects and is consistent with actual condition. Thus the optimization method is feasible.
