It is possible to pierce-the holes on a tube or sheet hydroformed part using hydropiercing method after the forming operation. In this study, hydropiercing process of a 304 stainless steel is simulated via the LS-Dyna in 2D axial symmetry model. In the simulations two types of punch movement was investigated to determine the contribution to the burr formation. In the simulations, Jonson-Cook hardening and damage model were used to determine the initiation of the crack on the samples. As a result, the burr formation can be eliminated by the two step movement of the punch through the piercing operation. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessInvestigation of Hydro-piercing Method for Stainless Steels by Finite Element MethodConference Object22010.1051/matecconf/2018220010032-s2.0-85056662712N/A
