Numerical Optimization of Current Parameters in Combined Electromagnetic-Classical Forming Processes

A method for the virtual process design of combined quasi-static and electromagnetic forming processes based on a thorough process simulation is developed. Its flexibility is demonstrated by means of an identification problem for process parameters yielding a minimum bottom edge radius in round cup forming. Particularly, an optimum double exponential current pulse is identified. This class of pulses is parameterized as an example for pulses with mono-directed current employed to reduce the wear of the tool coil.
