APAI Advanced Tool Wear Analysis

Scholarship Description
The research project is part of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project, investigating wear on sheet metal forming tools. The project involves industry partners from within the automotive and tooling industries. The appointee will investigate the localised loading conditions and wear response at the surface of typical sheet metal forming dies. State-of-the-art Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques and experimental methods will be used to develop a clearer understanding of the wear behaviour; with much focus on the micro-scale mechanisms that occur. The outcomes of the project will have particular relevance to the product development and stamping engineering processes used in the automotive industry.
