ProcedureEvaluate the part to determine the requirements for characteristics A-F, as follows:3.1 A - Hot or Cold Rolled ProductNormally the finish or thicknes
15、s of the metal required for a part willdetermine whether hot-rolled or cold-rolled product should be specified. (See Table 1A, Table 1B, and Table 4.)3.2 B - Sheet or StripPrincipal factors to consider in determining whether sheet or strip should be specified are:Size of part, or more specifically,
16、size of flat steel required to develop part.Thickness of metal required for the part.Hot or cold rolled steel.Selection and specification of temper for cold rolled strip. (See Table 3A, Table 3B.)Equipment on which the metal will be handled and fabricated.Steel industry product classification by siz
17、e. (See Table 1A, Table 1B.)3.3 C - Selection of Sheet Steel for FormabilityFor Cold Rolled Carbon Sheet and Hot Rolled Carbon Sheetand Strip, three levels of formability or drawability (called quality in the steel industry) are available as indicatedin the Scope. They are commonly referred to as CQ
18、, DQ, and DQSK.The following procedure is based on a Forming Severity Index (FSI) which has been developed throughexperience in production forming of sheet metal stampings. The procedure is recommended for determiningthe quality needed for a specific part and fabrication operation.1. Form a sample o
19、r prototype part from a specimen of known quality of steel using the griddingprocedure outlined in SAE J863. (For the most accurate description of the quality of steel used for thegridded blank, the mechanical properties of a sample taken from material adjacent to the blank usedfor the gridded part
20、should be known. This can be from the same blank, or the sheet preceding orfollowing the sheet to be gridded.) If the specimen fractures, form another sample from the next betterquality of steel.2. Measure the e1 and e2 strains as described in SAE J863. (This should be done on a sample partwhich has
21、 not fractured during forming.)3. Calculate the Forming Severity Index (FSI), for the critical area or areas of the sample part, using thefollowing formulae:_ SAE INTERNATIONAL J126 Reaffirmed APR2015 2 of 11NOTEThe e2 strain is the associated strain (minor) measured perpendicular to the major strai
22、n, e1.When the e2 strain as measured on the grid in the maximum stretch area is 0 to +30%.(Eq. 1)When the e2 strain is 0 to 30% (biaxial tension compression forming).(Eq. 2)where:t = thickness of gridded panel in inches.e1 = major strain expressed as a percent (not a decimal value).e2 = minor strain
23、 expressed as a percent (not a decimal value).The sign of e2 is disregarded (an e2 of 30 is expressed as 30 in the formula).NOTE:a. The thickness t in the above formulae is only a correction factor for calculation of the FSI. Materialformability may not be dependent on the sheet metal thickness.b. I
24、f t is expressed in millimeters, the multiplier will be 13.8 instead of 350.c. The reliability of the equations for stock over 0.125 in or 3 mm has not been established.d. The constant 15 in the above formulae can be modified by mutual consent of the supplier and userto provide the desired degree of
25、 risk of breakage. A constant of 15 approximates a safety factor often percentage of strain points for die, lubricant, press, and material variance of e1 strain (majorstrain). A constant of 20 gives a safety factor of 5, and a constant of 10 gives a safety factor of 15.4. Select the quality of steel
26、 sheet needed for the part from Table 2. When a change in material isindicated by Table 2, the selection should be verified using the new quality of sheet metal to formanother sample part.5. After a sufficient production history has been obtained through the use of the SAE RecommendedPractice J424,
27、Determination of Breakage Allowance for Steel Sheets, the quality of steel being usedshould be reviewed. For a given part an unusually high scrap rate indicates either a tool, lubricant, ormaterial quality selection problem. If material quality is found to be the problem, upgrading should beconsider
28、ed. Conversely, an unusually low scrap rate indicates a less expensive quality should beconsidered. SAE Recommended Practice J863 should be followed to determine the most beneficialmaterial change.EXAMPLEIn the case of 0.080 in or 2.00 mm thick sheet steel with e1 strain of 33% and e2 strain of +10%
29、,the Forming Severity Index (FSI) would be:(Eq. 3)(Eq. 4)FSI0.6e2 15350t+()e1=FSI1.5e2 15350t+()e1=FSI0.610()in()153500.080()+33FSI16=FSI0.610()mm()1513.82.0()+33FSI16=_ SAE INTERNATIONAL J126 Reaffirmed APR2015 3 of 11If the gridded panel was CRCQ steel, the FSI indicates the selection of a lower q
30、uality steel such asHRDQ (A621). Note that in cases such as this where the FSI is greater than +6 there are other factorsthan material which should be investigated to obtain the most economical production.If the gridded panel was HRDQ, the indicated selection would be HRCQ (A569).In the case of 0.03
31、6 in or 0.9 mm thick stock with an e1 strain of 55% and an e2 strain of 15%, the FSIwould be:(Eq. 5)(Eq. 6)If the gridded panel was CRCQ and trouble was being encountered in forming production parts, theindicated selection would be to upgrade to CRDQ (A619). If the gridded panel was CRDQ, theindicat
32、ed selection would be to upgrade to CRDQSK (A620) and if the panel was CRDQSK someother changes may be required in the forming operations or in the design of the part (comments inTable 2).3.4 D - Surface Condition (Finish, etc.)Consider any surface conditions required for the part. Consult Table 4fo
33、r a description of surfaces applicable to the product selected in A, B, and C above. Designate surface, finish,coating, etc. by symbol shown.3.5 E - Edge ConditionConsider any necessary edge conditions required for the part.

Designate the required edgecondition by the symbol shown.3.6 F - DimensionsConsider all dimensions required for the part.Refer to ASTM A568 for thickness tolerance tables.Designate dimensions in the following order: thickness, width, and length.
