in direct contact with the tool surfaces. Compared to the
forming of just composites, the forming process can be
simplified and the process chain gets shorter, which is
significantly more economic. Fiber metal laminates also have
the particular advantage that the mechanical properties of the
components produced can be adjusted by the number of CFRP
layers and the fiber orientation of the individual patches within
the layers.
Direct substitution of sheet metal parts with FML is not
possible due to the fact that the material behaviors of metal and
CFRP diverge. Hence an adequate material and process design
has to be investigated. The focus of the current research work
being carried out by the LUF is the development of an adequate
process and material design for the manufacture of structural
parts made of FML with enhanced mechanical properties and a
high shape and dimensional accuracy.
By contrast to composite materials, metals have
approximately isotropic mechanical properties and deform
through elastic and plastic flow. The plastic forming behavior
of metals depends in general on the stress rate, the load speed
and the temperature [5,6].
Composite materials such as CFRP consist of fiber and a
matrix material and have a high anisotropy and divergent
forming behavior. In respect of the fiber itself, the mechanical
properties in the fiber direction are highly dissimilar compared
to the transverse fiber direction [4].
Thermosetting matrix materials have to be cured from a
viscous resin until they attain their final strength. The curing
process is dependent on time, temperature and the prevailing
pressure.
Automotive body parts often have complex geometries with
unsteady drawing depths which are manufactured by forming
processes such as deep drawing. During the forming process,
combined pressure-tension stresses and tension-tension stresses
are induced in the main forming zone, which is the flange. The
tangential pressure stresses that occur lead to a wrinkling of the
flange during the deep drawing process. In order to prevent
wrinkling, tool elements such as blank holders induce normal
stresses at the surface of the flange. When the blank holder
force FBH exceeds a certain value, the tension forces that occur
lead to a thinning of the material and consequently to bottom Fig. 1. Schematic image of the semi-finished product and the combined

a radius of rSt = 10 mm. The cylindrical die has an inner
diameter of dD = 105 mm and a blanking radius of rD =10 mm.
The drawing depth used in the experiments was h = 38 mm.
The tools were mounted inside a high precision pillar guide
rack to achieve a high level of parallelism between the active
tool elements, and especially between the die and the blank
holder. The tool setup was mounted inside a hydraulic press.
For the experimental investigations, the FML sheets were
positioned inside the tool setup. The active tools were heated
to a temperature of TT = 140°C for the combined forming and
curing process.

giving the FML sheet an orthotropic design. The third layer
inside the three-layer FML sheet was also rotated by 90°
compared to the second layer so that the layer sequence was
0°/90°/0°. To investigate the influence of the fiber orientation
on the forming behavior and on the resulting shape and
dimensional accuracy, in particular in the frame area of the
FML components, two different patch designs were used for
the experimental investigations. The basic geometry used for
this purpose is shown in Fig. 3. The circular unidirectional
CFRP patch had an outer radius of Ro = 90 mm, a defined fiber
direction (design 1: 0 °, see Fig. 4; design 2: 90 °, see Fig. 5)
and two circular recesses with the radii of Ri = 90 mm,
resulting in a width of bi = 89 mm at the thinnest point. The
recesses were filled by two biconvex UD prepreg patches with
radii of Ro = 90 mm and Ri = 90 mm and a fiber direction
rotated by 90 ° compared to the first patch. Thus, for a single
prepreg layer, a combined 0°/90° fiber orientation results. As a
result of the patch arrangement, the fibers arranged in the frame
and flange area of the FML sheet are subjected during the
forming process to tangential compressive stresses in the fiber
direction (design 2) or transversely to the fiber direction
(design 1).

3. Results

In order to determine the influence of the number of


unidirectional CFRP layers used on the resulting shape and
dimensional accuracy of the hybrid components, FML sheets
with one to three unidirectional CFRP layers were formed and

combined forming und curing process. In a first step, the FML
sheet is applied to the die. In the next step, the forming process
is initiated. The punch force FP as well as the blank holder force
FBH, 1 will be set for this, and the semi-finished FML part is
formed through the punch into the die. The wrinkling of the
FML sheet during the process, caused by the tangential stresses
occurring at the flange, is suppressed by normal stresses
applied by the blank holder. After the forming process, the
hybrid part remains inside the tool until the matrix material is
cured to its full strength.

dimensional accuracy of the FML components, one to three Fig. 6. Wrinkle height hwr inside the specimens dependent on the number of

mm can be detected.
In FML sheets with two unidirectional CFRP layers rotated
by 90 degrees in relation to each other, the average wrinkle
heights hwr in the feed zone and in the flange area are increased
by about 79 % compared to single-layer FML sheets. The
forming of three-layered FML sheets leads to even higher
values of the wrinkle heights hwr, especially in the upper frame
area. In conclusion, additional FML layers with unidirectional
fiber direction leads to a significant deterioration of the shape
and dimensional accuracy inside the FML components.

relationship between the heights of the wrinkles hwr and the
measuring depth zmd inside the analysed specimens. Due to the
normal force FBH,1 applied by the blank holder, no wrinkles can
be determined at the top of the flange area. Thus, the first
measuring plane is in the feed zone and has a depth of
zmd = 2.5 mm from the top of the flange.

patch design

In further investigations, the prepreg patch alignments as


shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 were used to determine the influence
of the fiber orientations in the flange and frame area on the
resulting shape and dimensional accuracy of the FML
components. The measurement results of the wrinkle heights of
both single layered FML designs are shown in Fig. 7. For
reference, the gradients of the wrinkle height of the
unidirectional FML are marked gray. The orange-marked curve
represents the wrinkle heights of those specimens which tend
to absorb compressive forces transversely to the fiber direction
in the main forming zone and in the frame area during the
forming process (design 1, Fig. 4). The blue curve represents
those FML specimens that tend to absorb compressive forces
in the fiber direction (design 2, Fig. 5). For both designs, short
as well as long and continuous fibers result due to the patch
geometry. Design 1 shows a similar course of the wrinkle
height over the measuring depth compared to the reference but
this leads to a slight deterioration of the shape and dimensional

UD FML and design 1, large pores can be detected inside the
wrinkles, as marked with the yellow arrows. The occurring
pore formation can be attributed to the resulting circumferential
fiber alignment when the cup geometry is formed. With design
2, the resin can be distributed homogeneous in circumferential
direction in the frame area, resulting in less and smaller pores
and lower wrinkle heights hwr. The flow resistance for the resin
in fiber direction is lower compared to the transversal flow
direction. Concequently with this patch arrangement a
significant improvement in the shape and dimensional accuracy
of 60% on average can be achieved.

4. Conclusion

In this study, experimental research has been conducted into


the development of the process and material design for the
manufacture of deep drawn parts made of FML sheets. The
main focus of these investigations was to determine the
influence of the number of CFRP layers and the fiber alignment
with the aim of improving the shape and dimensional accuracy
of the FML parts during the combined forming and curing
process. The wrinkle height of the inner metal sheets was
reduced by almost 64%, from hwr = 0.24 mm down to
hwr = 0.09 mm for FML cups with one layer of CFRP. For the
two- and three-layered FML components, the wrinkle heights
were reduced by 60%. Future work will investigate the transfer
of knowledge from this study to more complex geometries.
