Numerical Determination of the Forming Limit Diagram for 304 Stainless Steel Based on Phase Change in Deep Drawing Process

Up to now a large number of models have been developed to measure or predict the damage in equipments. Some of these models have been implemented in ABAQUS software. To implement damage parameters in the software, it is necessary to perform complex and expensive practical tests. One of these damage models is Forming Limit Diagram (FLD).The purpose of this research is deriving required parameter...

Determination of the Optimal Reduction Ratio for Least Springback during Cold Drawing of Seamless Tubes

Cold drawing process is one of the most used metals forming processes in industries for forming seamless tubes. This process of plastic deformation of metals occurs below the recrystallization temperature and is generally performed at room temperature. When metal is cold worked, upon the release of forming force, the springback occurs. In this paper, the springback effect of the seamless tube t...

On the Rheology of Cold Drawing . I . Elastic Materials

In this, the first paper in a series on neck formation and steady-state drawing of polymeric fibers and films under uniaxial tension, the emphasis is laid on those aspects of the mechanics of cold drawing that are not sensitive to viscoelastic effects and, therefore, can be treated by use of constitutive assumptions appropriate to elastic materials. It is here shown that a unidimensional theory...

On the Rheology of Cold Drawing . 11 . Viscoelastic Materials

In this second paper in a series on cold drawing of polymeric fibers and films, asymptotic formulae are derived for the tension in thin bodies of nonlinearly viscoelastic materials subject to inhomogeneous stretching. The formulae, which are valid to within an error of fourth order in sample thickness, give the tension in fibers and films as functionals of the histories of the local stretch and...
