FORMPLANET SERVICES OFFERING

FormPlanet offers advanced testing methodologies for more accurate metals characterisation, non-destructive in-process measurements and modelling for high strength sheet materials, adressing processability and quality parts issues in the sheet manufacturing sector.

FormPlanet novel testing techniques limit productivity losses due to forming cracks and innacurate quality assessment, resulting in a boost of a wide usage of high-strength sheet materials for high-added value products in different applications.

Novel and differentiated metal characterisation tests
In-process control systems
New modelling approaches

Novel characterisation services

FormPlanet is a solid and sustainable user-driven European Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) ecosystem build as a set of entities, providing common access to physical facilities, capabilities and services. It provides common access to a portfolio of services and facilities’ access required for the development, testing and upscaling of new services and products to the market.

Sheet material development and production

New approaches for the evaluation of local damage (by micromechanics and microtomography), global and local ductility, delayed fracture, H embrittlement, and crack propagation assessment (in terms of fracture toughness) with the aim to optimise the development and production of advanced metal sheets.

Edge cracking and stretch-flangeability
Micro-mechanical characterisation
Fracture toughness
Crashworthiness
Delayed fracture and H embrittlement
Fatigue resistance
Reversible hot/cold rolling

Part and forming process design

For addressing the need to design components with better performance, FormPlanet offers specific tests to better describe sheet formability at room and high temperature and reproduce part performance in FE codes, coupling micromechanical characterisation with macroscopic tests. Smart material data characterisation from tests to modelling help to handling material data for part design.

Forming limits evaluation at room
Modelling of part performance
Modelling of H embrittlement
Material data for modelling
Hot sheet metal forming pilot environment

Components production

Innovative in-line monitoring techniques adapted to the metal forming requirements to assure zero-defects production as well as in-situ part inspection techniques to measure relevant mechanical properties and predict part performance and durability.

In-process check systems
In-line part quality assessment

Complementary services

In addition to advanced material characterisation services, FormPlanet offers a wide range of complementary services for an integral service provision to the sheet metal forming industry.

Other material characterisation services
Consulting services
Training and knowledge
