Popis: The plastic treatment of products reduced to sizes corresponding to the microscale poses difficulties, due to the occurrence of the so-called size effect, which is responsible for the different behavior of the material during the realization of microforming. In this study, a constitutive equation was elaborated taking into account two types of size effects, with the use of a surface model as well as a composite material model. The influence of the size effect referring to both the material grain size and the geometric scaling of the sample size on the material&rsquo
s flow stresses was considered. The surface model took into account the different grain shapes present in actual polycrystalline materials. After the application of the presented model for titanium Grade 2, a good agreement of the experimental results with the FEM simulation results was obtained. Thus, the proper FEM modeling of microforming processes should be conducted with the use of a material model, taking into account the occurring size effects.
