A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON DEEP DRAWING PROCESS AND AUTOFORM SIMULATIONS OF DX54D + Z and DX56D + Z STEELS

A Sheet Metal Forming (SMF) process, especially deep drawing, is one of the manufacturing processes that commonly used in automotive industry. Compared with casting and forging, SMF process has several advantages, including lesser weight materials broader variations shape can be made. The most important problems wrinkling phenomenon tearing sheet products. wrinkle tear occurs because mechanical properties material, product geometry, blank holder force. finite element based Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) program AutoForm Plus R7 this article was for analysis. Solidworks software during mold design. a highly productive provides high accuracy reliable results, specially developed metal forming industry, With AutoForm, multiple analyses were made by computational calculations, even before production started, help these analyses, closest to perfect outputs obtained. In addition, optimum drawbead geometry springback effect analysed. suitable material selected drawing product. DX54D + Z DX56D from continuously hot-dip coated steel flat products as analysis materials. As result, simulation reports obtained study compared many results literature. It concluded without negative consequences such tearing, shrinkage marks.
