About twenty years ago, the process of Creep Age Forming (CAF) was invented, and since
then has been developed for the manufacture of heat treatable aluminium alloy panel …

A test programme has been designed to characterise the creep-ageing behaviour of
Aluminium Alloy 7055, commonly termed AA7055, under creep age forming (CAF) …

In this paper, v-bending of Ti-6Al-4V alloy sheet was conducted from room temperature to
850° C at a fixed velocity of 0.1 mm/s. Punches with punch radii of 1, 2, 4, and 6 mm, as well …

Creep-age forming (CAF) is one of the relatively new forming techniques that has been
proven viable for the production of extra-large integral airframe structures. However …

Creep age forming (CAF) of aluminium alloy 7B04 (AA7B04) stiffened plates has been
experimentally and numerically investigated in this study. Creep-ageing experiments of …

Creep-aging forming, combining the aging treatment and forming process, is an ideal
method to manufacture the complex aircraft panels. Two-stage creep-aging behaviors of an …

Experimental and numerical studies on the buckling behaviour of stiffened panels under four
point bending during creep age forming (CAF) have been carried out in this study for the first …

A finite element (FE) model has been developed and validated in this study for the first-time
to simulate the asymmetric creep-ageing behaviour of an Al–Cu–Li alloy (AA2050) for creep …

The mechanism of sheet metal parts hot sizing is considered as constant-strain stress
relaxation due to creep. This creep deformation in stress relaxation is limited within the …

Creep-age forming (CAF) is one of the effective techniques to fabricate extra-large integral
airframe panels due to its good forming ability. However, few experimental researches have …
