Abstract
We propose a system for evaluating the stretch-flangeability of small-scale specimens based on the hole-expansion ratio (HER). The system has no size effect and shows excellent reproducibility, reliability, and economic efficiency. To verify the reliability and reproducibility of the proposed hole-expansion testing (HET) method, the deformation behavior of the conventional standard stretch-flangeability evaluation method was compared with the proposed method using finite-element method simulations. The distribution of shearing defects in the hole-edge region of the specimen, which has a significant influence on the HER, was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The stretch-flangeability of several kinds of advanced high-strength steel determined using the conventional standard method was compared with that using the proposed small-scale HET method. It was verified that the deformation behavior, morphology and distribution of shearing defects, and stretch-flangeability results for the specimens were the same for the conventional standard method and the proposed small-scale stretch-flangeability evaluation system.
