In order to investigate electromagnetic forming of flat components under production engineering conditions, a suitable experimental plant was developed, consisting essentially of an energy storage equipment with appropriate switching technology to provide the energy, a flat forming coil with the necessary connectors and links to transfer the energy to the workpiece, and a tool holder to absorb the forming forces. Following aspects have emerged from the basic investigations: 1) Drawing in of the sheet metal at greater drawing depths 2) The theoretical possibility of achieving good results with steel as well as other metals 3) Initial encouraging results from the experimental forming of a depression for a door handle, which was central to this project. Additional tasks have been identified for inclusion in future investigations, for example optimized process control for greater drawing depths, the inclusion of the electromagnetic forming process in process chains and the further improvement in economic viability by means of additional process integration.
