Low qualified rate and inferior quality frequently occurring in the general deep drawing process of a certain box-shaped part, now use hydroforming to optimize forming process, in order to study the effect of hydroforming for improving the quality and formability, purposed five process schemes: general deep drawing, active hydroforming, passive hydroforming, general deep drawing combined with a...

Aluminium sheet drawing processes can be improved by manipulating local flow behaviour by means of elevated temperatures and temperature gradients in the tooling. Forming tests showed that a substantial improvement is possible not only for 5xxx but also for 6xxx series alloys. Finite element method simulations can be a powerful tool for the design of warm forming processes and tooling. Their ac...

in this work, an inverse finite element formulation was modified for considering material anisotropy in obtaining blank shape and forming severity of deep drawn orthotropic parts. in this procedure, geometry of final part and thickness of initial blank sheet were known. after applying ideal forming formulations between material points of initial blank and final shape, an equation system was obt...

This paper investigates the earing phenomenon in deep drawing of AA3105 aluminum alloy, experimentally and numerically. Earing defect is mainly attributed to the plastic anisotropy of sheet metal. In order to control such defect, predicting the evolution of ears in sheet metal forming analyses becomes indispensable. In this regard, the present study implements the advanced yield criterion BBC20...

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 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...
