The quality of the part and the robustness of the process in stamp-forming of sheet materials are determined by a number of variables. This study looks at the application of the stamping process to a Fibre-Metal Laminate (FML) material system and the effect of the process variables on the formability characteristics of these material systems. The effect of pre-heating temperature on the splitting and wrinkling behaviour has been investigated for two different FML systems. It has been found that different FML systems exhibit different failure modes.
