Method for testing limit strain of edge of metal sheet
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of detection of mechanical properties of materials, and particularly relates to a limit strain test method for edges of a metal sheet.
Background
The criterion of advanced high-strength steel edge cracking is not a mature and reliable test method at present:
For unidirectional tensile tests-due to the effects of original gauge length and non-uniform neck deformation-have proven unsuitable for the measurement of ultimate strain at break.
For the reaming test, the principle of the reaming test is shown in the following figure 1, a conical punch is adopted to ream and turn over a standard diameter round hole metal sheet sample, the test is stopped when a through crack appears at the edge, the size of the bore after reaming is measured, and the reaming and turn-over performance of the material is measured through the change of the bore. The diameter and the edge quality of the round hole of the sample, the thickness of the material, the compressive stress of the hole edge and the determination time of the through crack all affect the measurement result of the hole expansion rate, and the actual flanging performance of the material often cannot reach the hole expansion performance, so that the hole expansion test is used for evaluating the transverse performance of the material without problems, but the measurement result of the hole expansion rate is difficult to be directly used for the design of a die or the selection of the material. The reaming ratio of common mild steel is over 60%, but the high-strength steel is less than 50%, the reaming ratio of many high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels is between 15 and 30%, and because the limit reaming ratio of the high-strength steel is smaller, the interference of test conditions, material performance fluctuation and human factors in the test process is larger, the fluctuation of the detection data is also larger and can reach over 5%, so that the reaming ratio is also unsuitable for serving as the limit cracking strain of the edge part of the high-strength steel. In addition, the structural change of the actual part after flanging deformation is larger, the structural change is inconsistent with the structure of the reaming flange made of the material, and the reaming ratio is difficult to directly use in the design of the part and the selection of the material.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a limit strain test method for the edge of a metal sheet, which can accurately and rapidly obtain the limit strain of the edge cracking of a material, can be directly used as a criterion of the edge cracking in part forming simulation analysis, and has more practical value.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
A method for testing limit strain of edge of metal sheet includes selecting strip metal sheet as specimen, bending two long sides of specimen to form U-shaped slot, using external bending core to prop against outside of bottom wall of U-shaped slot and limit outside of two side walls of U-shaped slot, using internal bending core to prop against inside of bottom wall of U-shaped slot and limit inside of two side walls of U-shaped slot, bending U-shaped slot by internal bending core to make U-shaped slot stick around external bending core to bend it by a certain angle, clamping short end of side wall of U-shaped slot by stretching chuck, fixing U-shaped slot by external bending core and internal bending core to be far from tangent point of stretching chuck, continuously stretching U-shaped slot by stretching chuck, observing side wall of bending part in stretching process, stopping when initial crack appears on side wall, measuring side wall height of cracking position, calculating critical strain by side wall height of cracking position, thickness of specimen and radius of external bending core, namely limit strain that material starts to crack at edge.
Further, the dimensions of the test pieces are set according to the predicted limit strain range of edge cracking of the material to ensure that an initial crack is obtained.
Further, when the two long sides of the sample are vertically bent to form a U-shaped groove, the bending fillet radius r= (0.1-0.5) t, the width b= (30-70) t of the bottom wall of the U-shaped groove, and t is the thickness of the sample.
Further, both the outside sweep core and the inside sweep core are free to rotate.
Further, the widths of the outer bending core and the inner bending core are finely adjusted through the gasket so as to ensure the limit of the U-shaped groove.
Further, when the U-shaped groove is bent in a mode that one outer bending core is matched with two inner bending cores, the U-shaped groove is fixed by the outer bending core and one inner bending core in a butt-clamping mode, and when the U-shaped groove is stretched by the other inner bending core around the outer bending core bending U-shaped groove, the inner bending core at the position far away from the tangent point of the stretching chuck is reserved, and the inner bending core at the position close to the tangent point of the stretching chuck is removed.
Further, critical strainIs calculated as
Wherein h is the height of the side wall at the cracking position, t is the thickness of the sample, and R is the radius of the outer bending core.
Further, the test is performed multiple times to obtain a critical strain average value as a final value.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
The method can accurately and rapidly obtain the limit strain of the starting edge cracking of the material, the parameter can be directly used as the criterion of the edge cracking in the part forming simulation analysis, and compared with the limit hole expansion rate obtained by methods such as a hole expansion test, the limit design of the outer bending core and the inner bending core has more practical use value in the judgment of the edge cracking of the material, the limit design of the outer bending core and the inner bending core can prevent the U-shaped groove from expanding and collapsing in the stretching bending process, the test is ensured to be accurate, the isosceles trapezoid in the middle of the sample can enable the bending part of the U-shaped groove to form gradually heightened side walls, and the measurement can be carried out after the initial cracking occurs, thereby being convenient and rapid.
