Tensile testing over time is the first step in determining property variation for new material forming. However, industrial stamping processes often experience higher strain than what can be measured in a tensile test. Bulge testing can dramatically improve the accuracy of the yield surface of new materials. The EWI Forming Center recently developed the bulge […]
