This paper investigates the formability and forming limit curve of aluminium alloy sheet of grade Al 1350 with respect to annealing temperature and strain conditions through statistical approach. The uncertainty of forming limit curve (FLC) due to anisotropy parameter and strain hardening exponent have also been taken into consideration. The plastic instability criteria and its relevant equations given by Hill have been used to construct the theoretical FLC which is compared with experimental FLC. The stochastic modeling has been made on the statistical evaluation of the FLC with a high confidence level. First Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Monte-Carlo simulation (MCS) methods have been used to compare the probability of the data points determining FLC by considering normal distribution of material properties.
