Deep Drawing Process

The anisotropic nature of laminated composites creates a unique opportunity and also a great challenge for tailoring their behavior during the forming processes according to the design requirements. In this work, design and simulation of a deep drawing process for fiber-reinforced laminated composites were conducted by using finite element analysis. The effects of the fiber orientation and stacking order on the deep drawing process were investigated based on the basic understanding of forming process of the isotropic aluminum alloy (Al-1100) and laminated composite material (Grilon RVZ-15H nylon/glass). A three dimensional finite element model incorporating layered structural laminates with various fiber orientations was developed. The load-stroke relationship, changes in thickness, and stress-strain distribution were investigated and compared for both aluminum alloy and laminated composites of [0]12, [0/90]6 and [0/90/45/135]3, which can be employed for detailed design and process optimization.

Deep Drawing Process

The FEM simulation results of deep drawing process are carried out to create training cases for the artificial neural network (ANN), and then the well-trained ANN(s) is used to predict the formability of aluminum alloy A1100-O sheets. The OYANE’ s ductile fracture criterion equation [J. Mech. Work. Technol. 4 (1980), pp. 65-81] was implemented to predict the formability of deep drawing process. This ductile fracture criterion is introduced and evaluated from the histories of stress and strain calculated by means of finite element analysis in order to get the ductile fracture value (I). The resolution of the results of ductile fracture criterion equations is carried out via a VUMAT user material, using ABAQUS/Explicit finite element code. From the calculative results of FEM simulation with the changing of various parameters, the formability predictions using ANN methodology was investigated by comparing with random case studies of FEM results and shown good agreements

This paper “SIMULATION OF THE EFFECT OF DIE RADIUS ON DRAWING PROCESS” is one of the most used Metal Forming Process within the industrial field. Different analytical, numerical, empirical and experimental methods have been developed in order to analyze it. This work reports on the initial stages of finite element analysis (FEA) of a Deep drawing process. The objective of this study is to determine the factors influencing a drawing process and analyzing the process by varying the Die radius and keeping the Friction, Punch radius and Blank Thickness as constant. In this paper Punches, blank thickness of same geometry and dies of various geometries were drawn by using CATIA software. And an effort is made to study the simulation effect of main process variant namely die radius using finite element analysis. As the FEM code, the commercially available software DEFORM-3D is used here. Aluminium alloy 6061 is used for deep drawing with initial diameter as 56mm.

Maximum Thickness

In deep drawing process, the experimental approach to obtain proper die-face design is not only expensive, but also requires much time and effort. Numerical simulation of the die-face design using expansion ratio analysis (ERA) can provide an avenue for lowering the cost and increasing the speed of the design process. A finite-element model of four-node quadrangle element is developed based on static implicit method using the Finite Element Code Marc. By the use of the model, the die-face design of oil pan deep drawing process is simulated. The relationship between the ERA and the maximum thickness variation is obtained. The smaller the ERA, the smaller the maximum thickness variation can be acquired. The mission success rate of the forming process increases, too. All the simulation results show reasonable agreement with the experiment.

Work Done

The paper presents some aspects regarding the sheet metal deep drawing process and shape optimzation for such parts using Finite Element Analysis. Simulation based design approaches have been used for forming processes. Using similar approach, a full process simulation and optimisation was undertaken in the present work. The work done here involved computer simulations of the forming processes to evaluate the amount of strain and stress each forming process contributed to the final product. Based on the simulation results, recommendation to change the product shape were presented. Not all the virtual products should be manufactured and the Finite Element Analysis eliminate all the possible errors and let the designers to optimize the geometry before designing the Molds and Dies for Deep Drawing process.

Material Characteristics

Earing is often undesirable in the production of deep drawn containers because it results in a nonuniform cup height. A finite element model for earring analysis is developed considering only the flange area of the sheet. It was found that the draw-in depth of the flange increases with the increase of the r value, and it remains invariable when r value is larger than 2. With the increase of the r value, the max thickness decreases and the min thickness increases. If △r>0, four earings are formed. If △r =0, the material characteristics in all the planar directions are same. The flange uniformly flows into the die cavity, no earing is formed. If △r<0, four earings are formed. The earing distribution is dominated by r0, r45 and r90. Both r and △r have much effect on the earing distribution.

Blank Holding Force

In this study, the influence of the blank-holding force (BHF) on the drawing force (DF) in the deep-drawing process of cylindrical and square cups has been investigated experimentally. For this purpose, different constant and variable BHFs have been applied to AA6016-T4 aluminum alloy and DC04 steel sheets during the forming process. It has been observed that an increased constant BHF leads to an increase of DF. On the other hand, the variable BHF approach, in which the BHF decreases in six steps throughout the punch stroke, reduces the DF.

Based on “physical field coupling” finite element method, the generation of residual stress and interactive coupling effect were analyzed during the forming process of aluminum alloy thick-plate. Therefore, comprehensive residual stress generated from rolling, quenching and stretching was obtained. The finite element model was proved effective by comparing the results of simulation and experiment. Results show that percent reduction has significant influence to the distribution and magnitude of rolling stress; There is a coupling effect between rolling stress and quenching stress, which represents a basic state; Furthermore, after stretching the distribution of coupling stress remains, but the value reduces greatly; The residual stress has got the minimum, when stretching is near 3%.
