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 cup drawing is a basic deep drawing process. Thus, understanding the mechanics ofthe cup drawing process helps in determining the general parameters that affect the deep drawingprocess. There are mainly two methods of analysis; experimental and analytical/numerical.Experimental analysis can be useful in analyzing the process to determine the process parameters thatproduce a defect free prod...

The design of multi stage deep drawing processes requires the evaluation of many process parameters such as the intermediate die geometry, the blank shape, the sheet thickness, the blank holder force, friction, lubrication etc..These process parameters have to be determined for the optimum forming conditions before the process design. In general sheet metal forming may involve stretching drawin...

Deep drawing process is one of the most applicable methods in producing industrial parts. In this process, the initial blank deforms to final product using a rigid punch and die. In this investigation, the effect of deep drawing process parameters of brass/steel laminated sheet composites on required forming force has been investigated. The process simulated using finite element method (FEM) an...

In this paper, the drawing process of multi-layer sheet metal through wedge shaped die has been analyzed using stream function and upper bound method. Typically a sandwich sheet contains three layers of metal, where the outer layers are of the same thickness and material and different from those of the inner layer. In this study, a new deformation model has been introduced in which inlet and ou...

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...

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...

This study was aimed to explain the influence of surface roughness of the drawbead on non-symmetry deep drawing cold rolled steel sheet to improve the drawability of cold rolled steel sheet. The variables used in this study included semi-circle drawbead with 3 levels of surface roughness which are 6.127 μm Ra, 0.963 μm Ra and 0.152 μm Ra and cold rolled steel sheet according to 3 grades of the ...

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...

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 ...
