    To ensure the stability and safety of metal constructions, these fittings must meet precision and strength standards, especially in structural systems such as “Steel Framing”. Although advances have been made in metal forming processes, there are still challenges in the efficient manufacture of high-precision fittings. Dies were designed to form fittings used in beam-column joints in light structures. To this end, a detailed analysis of the forming processes was carried out, and the operations involved in the manufacture of fittings were studied. In addition, a progressive die was designed and simulated using the software involved in order to ensure efficiency and precision in the production of fittings. Within the simulation of the dies, it was necessary to choose between various catalogues to select the components that best fit the forming process that was intended to be achieved. In addition, applicable regulations were considered in each component of the die, trying to guarantee its durability and required standards, in order to have a processing of the parts involved. The cost of each component was evaluated in order to have an economic approach and economic feasibility. The simulations allowed to evaluate the effects of operations such as punching, cutting and bending, optimizing the design of the dies to minimize defects in the manufactured fittings. Additionally, the cost of construction of the dies was analyzed and their economic investment was verified, ensuring their viability and efficiency in the manufacturing process.

    Information on cold-formed structural elements is limited, but has become indispensable in the field of construction, as it allows for improved design and analysis of structures. In the present investigation, a comprehensive analysis of the section properties of 6 and 8 mm thicknesses was carried out. It started with a review of information to understand the behaviour of these profiles, section properties such as inertias, torsional constants and warping constants were calculated using traditional analytical methods. To validate these calculations, a mathematical model based on the finite element method (FEM) was developed, which allowed the behaviour of the cross-sections to be simulated more accurately. Experimental torsion, bending and compression tests were performed to compare the results obtained by analytical calculations and FEM analysis. In the case of the tests to determine the warping constant, technical limitations were faced, such as the lack of a high test machine for compression tests on thicker sections, which led to the use of thinner sections. Finally, the results showed that the FEM provides intermediate predictions between analytical methods and experimental tests, the differences observed in the behaviour of the specimens were discussed, conclusions were drawn on the discrepancy of results between the different methods, and recommendations for future studies were proposed, including the application of heat treatments to the profiles to improve the values obtained in the tests.

    Modelo de material para perfiles conformado en frío de sección transversal UV de acero A572, para espesores de 10 mm y 12 mm

    The cold forming process generates an amount of residual stresses due to the presence of dislocations in the structure that produces an increase in the internal energy of the material. Currently, cold-formed steels have had a wide growth in the market due to their lighter weight, ease of forming and better mechanical properties. With the advances in technology, the behavior of complete sections can be studied in greater detail. The mechanical behavior of ASTM A572 grade 50 steel was studied, due to the cold forming process of the UV type section for 10 and 12 mm thickness. To evaluate the mechanical properties, specimens were obtained by water jet cutting, since they do not undergo stresses or thermal loads. Then, the hardness variability along the UV section was evaluated both in the internal and external part. Finally, the affected parts and the distance of the onset of residual stresses were identified through the visualization of the modification of the grain size. The results of the study by the cold forming process of UV type section for 10 and 12 mm thickness, show that there is a significant increase of the yield stress, a reduction of the ductility and there is no significant difference of the modulus of elasticity. In addition, the variability of Brinell hardness and grain affectation was determined at 1.1 times the plate thickness from the end of the curve.

    Modelo de material para perfiles conformado en frío de sección transversal tipo UV de acero a36, para espesores de 6 mm y 8 mm

    In order to determine the variation of mechanical properties such as hardness, yield stress, modulus of elasticity, maximum load, grain size variation and elongation percentage, comparing them in curved areas and flat areas of a cold-formed profile of UV type section. Tensile, hardness and micrographic tests were developed, ASTM A-36 steel material was used with thicknesses of 6 mm and 8 mm, obtaining specimens for their respective tests under ASTM E8 standards for tensile tests, ASTM E112 for micrographic and the hardness method used was Brinell HBW for hardness tests with ASTM E10 standard, when performing the tests and trials on the virgin material and the cold-formed material of UV type section, it was determined that there are better results of mechanical properties in the curved areas of the cold-formed profile due to its stress concentration, this much more specifically for the specimen of higher thickness for its cross-sectional area, after comparing all the results obtained it was observed that the maximum value of yield stresses in its curved part was 482.81 MPa compared to its wings that have a minimum value of 210.93 MPa. As a result, it was proved that there is a variation of mechanical properties after a cold forming process for an A-36 steel material, which will be very helpful for future research.

    The material model obtained for cold-formed UV cross-section profiles of ASTM A36 steel, for thicknesses of 10 mm and 12 mm, is presented as a versatile and efficient structural solution. This model has been developed considering its mechanical properties and its usefulness in the construction industry due to its resistance and ease of forming. To analyze the impact of the mechanical properties in the cross section of the profile obtained, three types of tests were carried out. In the tensile test, the ASTM E8 standard was applied, evaluating its mechanical properties, taking into account the tensile strength, elastic limit and modulus of elasticity in the specimens of the different sections (wings, back, curves) of the profile. Using the ASTM E10 standard, the hardness test was carried out on specimens extracted for each thickness, determining their hardness in the virgin material and in the cross section of the UV profile. Using the ASTM E-112 standard, the metallographic test was applied, obtaining micrographic photographs of the grains of the virgin material and the affectation in the cross section of the UV profile. As a result, the mechanical tests carried out show a comprehensive view of the mechanical properties in the cross section of the UV profile, highlighting a greater rigidity in the 12 mm profile and a greater impact on the mechanical properties in the curved sections of the profile, reaching maximum stresses. tensile strength of 551.5 MPa and 554.21 MPa for thicknesses of 10 mm and 12 mm.
