Abstract
The ongoing digitization of production processes provides new possibilities and potentials for process monitoring of forming and stamping processes. The component quality achievable by these processes is strongly dependent on the properties of the sheet metal material, so that a permanent digital recording of material data offers high potential for monitoring each component produced. In this context, presented paper deals with a novel AI-based method for the direct determination of ma-terial parameters from measured punching force curves. Using software systems Python and Tensor-Flow, an artificial neural network was first set up to determine mechanical material parameters (out-put data) from punching force curves (input data). As data basis for the adopted neural network, force curves were measured during punching of various sheet metal materials using a punching tool equipped with a direct force measurement device. Punching force curves were experimentally deter-mined for the sheet metal materials DP1200, DP1000, DP800, DP600, HX380LA, DC03 and DX54. Additionally, tensile tests were performed for these sheet metal materials to determine ultimate tensile strengths (Rm), yield strengths (Rp0.2, Re), uniform strains (Ag), elongations at break (At) and strain hardening exponents (n). The presented paper reveals that neural networks can accurately quantify the relationship between characteristic parameters of punching force curves and the mentioned me-chanical material properties.
