Current energy and regulatory developments are leading to lightweight construction efforts in the mobility sector, as evidenced by the steadily increasing proportion of aluminium in automobiles. In addition, there is a trend towards higher-strength alloys such as EN AW-6082 and -7075 considered here, which have a high potential for lightweight construction, but can only be cold-formed to a limited extent in the high-strength T6 state, which is why temperature-assisted process routes with forming after heating or prior heat treatment are used. Their fundamental phenomena have already been investigated in numerous research projects on single-stage processes, but are not readily transferable to multi-stage forming processes as required for the production of complex components. The aim of this work is therefore the systematic analysis of material- and process-specific characteristics for the development and realisation of an overall process chain for the multi-stage forming of the aluminium alloys EN AW-6082 and -7075 while maintaining the high-strength T6 properties in the final component. For this purpose, the process limits and influencing parameters of the four-stage sequence of stages (deep drawing, blanking, collar drawing and upsetting) are determined for the individual process routes by means of experimental and numerical investigations. The different process requirements show the necessity of a special temperature control, for the realisation of which a four-stage transfer tool with temperature-controlled active parts was developed. The testing tool enables inline tempering of the component, so that in addition to the thermal characterisation for determining the heating and cooling behaviour of the sheet metal and tool, the interactions with the mechanical properties and geometric characteristics of the respective forming stage are also considered. Based on these process-technical findings, but also on more general investigations into the hardening behaviour and possible subsequent heat treatments, an initial cold forming (of preconditioned semi-finished products) with subsequent inline heating in stage 2 and final heat treatment is identified as the most robust as well as economically and ecologically sensible process route. This demonstrates the feasibility of multi-stage forming for both alloys on a laboratory scale.
