Abstract One of the commonly used metal forming processes is deep drawing, in which circular blanks are converted into a cup or shell with good surface finish. In this paper, the forming characteristics of Deep Draw Steel (DDS), a low-carbon steel with many engineering and automotive applications, is investigated by deep drawing. The forming limit diagram is a useful concept in favor of charact...

Deep drawing of two-layer sheet is a suitable way to achieve product with a desired shape and desired properties in sheet metal forming technology. Control of deep drawing parameter such as thinning is the most important challenge in this process. The most difficult part of this challenge is differences in material properties and geometry of each layer. In this paper, numerical approach has bee...

The present research work is concerned with the effects of optimum process variables in elevated temperature hydro-mechanical deep drawing of 5052 aluminum alloy. Punch-workpiece and die-workpiece friction coefficients together with the initial gap between the blank holder and matrix were considered as the process variables which, in optimization terminology, are called design parameters. Since...

Deep drawing is an important process used for producing cups from sheet metal in large quantities. The process parameters and viscosity of fluid is maintained the major role in the hydro forming-deep drawing process. Hydraulic pressure can enhance the capabilities of the basic deep drawing process for making metal cups. Hydraulic pressure contributes positively in several ways to the deep drawi...

This paper presents evaluation and effect of blank radius on radial stresses through mathematical formulations in hydroforming deep drawing process using castor oil medium. Hydraulic pressure can enhance the capabilities of the basic deep drawing process for making cups. In hydroforming deep drawing process, applying the hydraulic pressure on blank periphery in radial direction. It is obtained ...

a new method for increasing ldr in deep drawing is application of anti-lock braking system (abs) on blank holder. in this method, instead of applying a constant force on blank and control the metal flow, the abs system holds and releases the blank several times (20 to 50 times) which results increasing ldr. this study investigates the effect of different parameters of abs on improving the condi...

there are mainly two methods of deep drawing analysis; experimental and analytical/numerical. experimental analysis can be useful in analyzing the process to determine the process parameters that produce a defect free product, and the analytical/numerical modeling can be used to model and analyze the process through all stages of deformation. this approach is less time consuming and more econom...

hydromechanical deep drawing (hdd) is one of the most convenient processes in which a sheet metal is drawn against a counter pressure rather than a rigid die in conventional stampings. this process has been increasingly used to produce aerospace and automotive components. more recently, aerospace industry is demanding new materials with capability to produce high strength to weight ratio produc...

Deep drawing is a common metal forming process used to manufacture recessed threedimensional parts from flat sheet metals. The research in deep drawing has been generic over the last few decades and various aspects of this process have been investigated. The paper aims to review the following aspects of deep drawing process that affect the quality of the product, tooling life and process design...

Warm deep drawing of polypropylene, a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer, is studied using finite element analysis. In this process, circular polypropylene blank preheated to temperature much below its melting and drawn into the shape flat-bottom cylindrical cup punch-die combination, both initially at 25°C. The material model used for analysis considers effects varying strain rate during p...
