Sheet metal forming and lightweight component manufacturing

Sheet metal forming is a competitive manufacturing method for many products. RISE is collaborating with industry in research and development with focus on the application, for example by analysing the process, the material properties, or the tribological system.

You can get support in your development in all areas, from product to process. Examples on research areas and possible assignments:

  • Introduction of new materials, fine tuning of the formning process
  • Materials analysis and formability testing, at RT and at higher temperatures
  • FE-analysis of the forming process and the press
  • Modelling and control of hot forming processes
  • Forming limit curve, friction and thermal properties at elevated temperatures
  • Measurement of E-modulus and  phase transformation during deformation
  • Analysis of friction and tool wear from different materials and lubrication combinations
  • Tool design, prototype fabrication and evaluation
  • Development and evaluation of new forming processes
  • Analysis of component properties: strain, strength, surface, geometry
  • Process window analysis
  • Education and course development
Testbädden för formning i Olofström, sidvy

Our multi-disciplinary team includes competences in several aspects of sheet metal forming R&D such as modelling, tribology, materials science, and process development, including tool design. Our testbed in Olofström is open to be used by customers both on site and by participating at-a-distance, with high data security.
