37TH INTERNATIONAL DEEP-DRAWING RESEARCH GROUP CONFERENCE

FORMING OF HIGH PERFORMANCE SHEET MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS

The IDDRG 2018 Conference focuses on the general topic of “Forming of high performance sheet materials and components”. In addition to the main conference topics, sessions with a detailed focus on specific aspects and current challenges in the field of sheet metal forming will be organized by internationally renowned experts.
These topics include:

• AHSS and Gen-3 steels
• Hot Stamping – all aspects including tailoring, tooling, furnace, new materials, etc.
• Warm/hot forming of aluminum, magnesium, and titanium (mini-symposium)
• Formability characterization methodologies
• Constitutive modelling and formability prediction
• Interaction of forming and crashworthiness
• Local versus global formability
• Sheared edge formability (mini-symposium)
• Tribology and wear
• Other Aspects of Sheet Metal Forming
