hydroforming process in one of the most effective production method, for improving the drawing ratio in sheet metal forming process. this is due to the fact that in hydroforming process, forming takes place using a punch which drives the part forward via a controlled fluid pressure. in this paper, deep drawing hydroforming for circular punch is investigated. different pressure paths are tested ...

this work is an attempt towards employing ductile damage criterion and finite elementsimulations for prediction of fracture initiation and evolution in deep drawing of copper/stainlesssteel clad sheets. the material mechanical properties and ductile damage parameters weredetermined through standard and notched tensile tests. the effect of some important processparameters on damage evolution wer...

In this paper, experimental results of a deep drawing process to produce a cylinder of high strength steel with a spherical head were compared with it’s simulation results and three proposal design types. Meanwhile, the amount of limiting draw ratio in some stages was determined. Accuracy and precision of the results of a finite element software to predicting the multi stage deep drawing proces...

use of tailor-welded blanks (twbs) in production has significant advantages such as weight and cost reduction. however, their application requires processes that increase their poor formability in comparison to base materials. one of these procedures is the use of fluid pressure in sheet metal forming. in this paper hydro-mechanical deep drawing process of tailor-welded low carbon steel (st12) ...

deep drawing of cylindrical shapes with high limiting drawing ratio (ldr) values is relatively difficult. annealing is a further operation, which in turn adds costs and consumes significantly time to the forming process. in the present work, cylindrical cups from brass sheet were made with only limited anneal during few steps, but having ldr of 9 that is about 2 times higher than previous works...

This paper gives an overview of a deep drawing process by pressurized liquid medium separated from the sheet by a rubber diaphragm. Hydroforming deep drawing processing of sheet metal parts provides a number of advantages over conventional techniques. It generally increases the depth to diameter ratio possible in cup drawing and minimizes the thickness variation of the drawn cup. To explore the...

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...
