4. For plastic deformation shear stress is required
𝜏 𝑚𝑎𝑥 =
𝜎 𝑚𝑎𝑥 − 𝜎 𝑚𝑖𝑛

In triaxial state of stress system,
shear components are
(𝜎1− 𝜎2), (𝜎2− 𝜎3) and (𝜎3− 𝜎1)
Taking root mean square value and equating to uniaxial
stress condition,
The yield equation can be obtained

Where σ is the effective stress

Where R is plastic strain ratio
6. The equation is nothing but an ellipse
Yield Locus
Hydrostatic stress + compression in thickness direction = Equi biaxial stress
Hydrostatic stress
It has no shear stress
component
R = 0
7. Therefore, the compression through thickness direction controls
Equi biaxial stress.
Hence, R>1 major axis of ellipse increases
R<1 major axis of ellipse decreases.
With this idea I.F. steel has been developed.
In the case of conventional I.F. steel R = 1.8 or more

11. Mohr’s Circle for Deep Draw
• In radial direction stress is tensile .
• In the hoop direction stress is compressive.
• Hence, shear stress is greater.
• Therefore, larger deformation is possible
compared to uni axial or equi biaxial tensile
test.

16. Step 1: Strain conditions, namely, tension–tension, plane strain, and
tension–compression were considered by varying the width of
specimen, which plays an important role in determining the Forming
Limit Diagram (FLD).
Step 2: The grid circles formed over the sheet specimens, which were
stretched to form ellipses depending upon the straining condition.
Steps to construct Forming limit diagram
Fig. 6. Forming Limit Diagram (FLD).
17. Step 3: The major and the minor axes of the ellipse were
measured using the microscope with an accuracy of 0.01 mm,
which has taken for plotting forming limit diagrams.
Step4: These manual measurements were used to calculate the
major strain and minor strain.
Steps to construct Forming limit diagram

19. Steps to construct Forming limit diagram
Step 6: These strains were measured in three distinct regions
like safe region, neck region and fracture region.
Step 7: The forming limit diagrams were plotted using strain
measured at necked regions, whereas, the Fracture limit
diagram uses strains from fractured regions.
Step 8: Similarly, Fracture limit curve has been plotted using
strains obtained from fracture region of all width specimens.

31. McMaster University, CANADA (1981-1983)
Studied on wrinking behaviour of various steels supplied by Inland Steel
Corporation, USA and Dofesco Steel Plant, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Used Conical and Tractrix Dies for deep drawing with no hold down pressure.
Steels Tested : Steels tested were stainless steel 304 grade, Dual phase steel and
Aluminium killed extra deep drawing quality steel with different thicknesses.
Outcome : Steel with high normalized hardening rate and high instantaneous strain
hardening exponent exhibited more resistance against wrinkling.
In the case of stainless steel 304 grade, because of the formation of plastically
strain induced martensite during deformation exhibited high resistance against
wrinkling.
Dual Phase Steel (600MPa) exhibited poor resistance against wrinkling because of
poor instantaneous strain hardening exponent and normalized hardening rate.
32. TATA STEEL (2006-2010)
Steels Tested :
Conventional I.F. Steel, High Strength I.F. Steel, Carbon Manganese Steel,
Microalloyed Steel, HSLA Steel, Galvannealed Steel, Coated Steels and
Nano Precipitate High Strenth Steels for various Automotive
applications.
Results :
Tested for Forming limit diagram, Void Coalesence sudies on fractured
samples and hole expansion test.
34. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND ITS EFFECT
In the case of IF steel a small amount of Nb and Ti is added. This addition converts
carbon and Nitrogen into Niobium carbo nitrates and Titanium carbo nitrates.
In high strength IF steel, in addition to Nb and Ti, a small amount of Boron is added
to take care of the precipation of Iron Phosphide along grain boundaries.
In IF steel, the carbon and nitrogen are in PPM level.
In C-Mn steel : Carbon is 0.12 % and Mn is 1.8 %.
In C-Mn steel, the carbon equivalent is high and it is not suitable for spot welding.
Microalloyed Steel : Here, C is less than 0.1% and a small amount of Nb is added
which increases the strength.
Microalloyed steel is suitable for spot welding.
For conventional IF steels Rav is 1.8. For high strength IF Rav is 1.4.
38. EXPLANATION FOR FORMING LIMIT DIAGRAMS ( IF STEELS )
High Normal Anisotropic value (Raverage) increases the forming limits
in T-T, P-S and T-C regions.
Usually 90 % cold reduction must be given for high Normal
Anisotropic value.
High strain hardening exponent value (n-value) increases the
Forming Limits.
High strain rate sensitivity (m-value) increases the Forming Limits.
High thickness increases the forming limit for any given
microstructure and processed conditions.
Gamma Fibre Texture improves the formability
39. Forming Limit Diagram for High Strength Steels
Microalloyed Steel 1.2 mm thick C-Mn Steel 1.4 mm thick
The forming limits for both Nb treated microalloyed steel
and C-Mn steel are almost same.

Microalloyed Steel: Microalloyed steel exhibits smaller voids compared to C-Mn Steel
41. Fracture behavior – Void coalescence analysis
• The fracture and material void behavior are influenced by the strain
condition.
• During the forming operation, initiation of necking would occur
following the void nucleation, the void growth and the void
coalescence.

of void coalescence
42. Fracture behavior – Void coalescence analysis
• The fracture and material void
behavior are influenced by the
strain condition.
• Variations in void size, void area
are clearly visible in the shown
SEM image for the various
strain conditions namely,
Tension – Tension, Plane strain
and Tension - Compression

obtained after forming operation near the fracture zone.
43. The void coalescence parameters can be
correlated with formability.
The parameters are:
(i) Void size
(ii) Void area fraction =
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑣𝑜𝑖𝑑
𝑅𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎
Representative material area is the total
area of the voids present in the chosen
area.
(Ex. Total number of voids in 1 inch2 SEM
image area)
(iii) Ligament thickness (gap between two
adjacent voids)
(iv) d-factor (ratio of ligament thickness to
the radius of void)
(v) Aspect ratio of void (L/W).

45. Correlation of Void coalescence analysis
with formability
• Higher average void size value and higher void area fraction
percentage indicates better formability.
• The lower ligament thickness value is an indication of
accumulation of enhanced plastic deformation.
• A lower d-factor signifies increased formability.
46. Step 1: The samples were cut close to the fracture zone for SEM
analysis to observe the nature of the fracture.
Step 2: Average void sizes were obtained from the SEM images using
AutoCAD software.
Step 3: Using Auto CAD software, the SEM images were enlarged and
voids were identified to measure perimeter of void, the average value of
perimeter of voids become the average void size.
Step 4: Relative spacing of the ligaments between two consecutive voids
is measured using line command.
Step 5: Similarly using line command, the length and width of the void
is measured.
Step 6: Void area fraction is determined using the following relation
Void area fraction =
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑣𝑜𝑖𝑑
𝑅𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎
Steps to find the void size, void area and other void coalescence
parameters using Auto CAD software

alloy rolled at (a) Room temperature with 50 % reduction, (b) Cryogenic temperature with 50
% reduction.
48. •Void size (VS) values of the CR sample are noted to be marginally lower than RTR
sample.
• Void area fraction (VA) is observed to be higher for RTR sample than that of CR
sample.
•The d-factor (ligament thickness/ radius of void) and ligament thickness (LT) are
higher for CR sample than RTR sample.
•The lower LT is an indication of accumulation of enhanced plastic deformation and
a lower d-factor signifies increased formability.
•The (L/W) ratio is also noted to be decreasing with respect to the given strain
triaxiality value.
•The L/W ratio indicates the nature of void (either prolate or oblate) and based on
the state of applied stress the void may get modified to prolate (elliptical voids in the
vertical direction) or oblate (elliptical voids in the horizontal direction) from its
initial spherical nature.
•Oblate and spherical voids tend to grow faster than prolate voids. (L/W) is higher
for CR samples than RTR samples.
49. SALEM STEEL PLANT (SAIL -2010): OUTCOME
The void area fraction (Va) is found to be higher for SS 304 steel sheet due to
the presence of lesser amount of carbides and sulphides and thus exhibits
better formability and fracturre strain than the rest of the sheets.
In addition to that SS 304 steel sheet shows lower L/W ratio and exhibits
better formability and fracture strain. The formability of SS LN1 is
comparable with SS 304
The higher value in volume fraction of Goss component indicates low
formability in the case of SS 430
The sheets of SS 430 have lower nR-value which leads to inferior formability
On the other hand, SS 304 and SS LN1 show better formability because of
phase transformation during plastic deformation.
52. NATIONAL AEROSPACE LABORATORY, BANGALORE
Tested Aluminium alloy :
Al-3% Mg-0.2% Sc alloy
OUTCOME :
Cryorolled and tested for Forming Limit Diagram.
Greater amount of diffuse necking has been absorbed.
Larger amount of fracture strain has been observed.
Strength has been increased after cryorolling.
More ultrafine and some nano size grains has been observed.
53. Samples of the size of 10 х 10 (length х
width) mm were cut from the surface
The samples were mechanically polished and
then electro polished (Struers-Electropol™-
IV,USA) in a cryo electrolyte containing 80:20
methanol and perchloric acid at −16 °C with an
operating voltage of 16 V for the duration of 20s.
The EBSD measurements were performed at the
center of the samples. A step size of 0.1 μm was
used during the measurements. TSL OIM
analysis 4.6 software (TEXSEM Laboratories
Inc., Draper, Utah, USA) was used to analyze the
EBSD maps. Based on the EBSD analysis the
grain size distribution and their volume fractions
were analyzed along with Kernal average
misorientation (KAM)

54. Outcomes of EBSD (Texture Study)
Inverse pole figure maps
A (scanning) electron microscopy technique which measures
crystal orientations on a regular grid by electron diffraction.
The so-determined data are used to produce orientation or phase
maps of the scanned area on the sample.
By assigning similar colours to points with similar crystal
orientation or similar phases. In this way orientation maps are
obtained.
Grain boundary maps
By determining the change of
orientation from position to
position, misorientation maps can
be produced as well.
Besides a large variety of different
maps it is also possible to construct
statistical data sets from the sample,
for example orientation
distributions.

reduced average grain size.
More fraction of UFGs are observed
in the cryorolled samples

Base alloy 11.43
R50 9.06
C50 8.95
R75 2.83
C75 3.37
The texture index is considered to be proportional to the
intensity of texture that has been developed in the material
and the higher 𝑇𝐼 indicates that the particular material is
highly anisotropic as meant by Bunge (1982).
The reduced 𝑇𝐼 value in C75 sample indicates that the
material is less anisotropic.
As the 𝑇𝐼 decreases, the fracture limit increases and
formability limit decreases in cryo rolled Al Alloys
For lower misorientation angle grain boundary, higher
formability can be obtained.
