Deep Drawing Process

Manufacturing processes are usually energy intensive, contributing to the global carbon dioxide emissions. Deep Drawing is one of the most common types of sheet metal forming processes with great potential for energy efficiency improvement. In this paper, the optimised combination of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) and graphite is proposed as a solid lubricant to reduce the punching force and energy consumption of deep drawing process. Different mixtures of MoS2 and graphite are prepared and their tribological performance are measured using experimental tests on tribometer. In order to investigate the friction reduction rate in deep drawing process, finite element simulation of the drawing process is performed. Results show that friction reduction using proposed combination of lubricants has significant effect on punching force and would provide greater process efficiency.

Analytical Expressions

The deep drawing process has been widely used in the industry because it eliminates costly operations such as welding and machining. However, there are many parameters involved that affect the quality of the final products. One of the main parameters of the deep drawing process is the maximum deep drawing force (DDF) or drawing load, which is the maximum force required to perform a particular deep drawing operation. This maximum DDF is needed to define the required capacity of the press, and to calculate the deep drawing work and the process efficiency. Several analytical expressions to estimate the maximum DDF have been proposed in the literature, particularly for cylindrical parts. However, few research works have focused on analyzing the prediction performance of these expressions. In this paper, the performance of different analytical expressions to estimate the maximum DDF of cylindrical and rectangular parts, is evaluated and compared. Initially, several expressions proposed by different researches for the maximum DDF of cylindrical parts are presented. Then, these expressions are transformed into new expressions for the maximum DDF of rectangular parts by using different concepts of equivalency, such as the equivalent diameter concept. Finally, the prediction performance of all the expressions for both cylindrical and rectangular deep drawing is analysed and compared using experimental data from the literature. The performance is evaluated in terms of the prediction error. The results have suggested that the analytical expressions involving the largest number of parameters have a superior prediction performance than the analytical expressions involving less parameters.

Deep Drawing Process

In this paper, the drawability of two-layer (steel-brass) sheets to produce square cup, is investigated through numerical simulations, and experimental tests. Each material has its own benefits and drawbacks in terms of its physical, chemical and mechanical properties, so that the point of this investigation is taking the benefits of different materials, like (low density, high strength and resistibility of corrosion), at the same time and in a one part. ANSYS18 software is used to simulate the deep drawing process of laminated sheet. The deep drawing processes for square cup were carried out under various blank holder loads with different lubrication conditions (dry and lubricant) and with variable layer arrangement. The materials were low carbon steel st1008 and brass CuZn30 sheets with thickness of 0.5mm0and 0.58mm respectively. The thickness of laminated sheet blank was 1.1 mm and its diameter was 83 mm. The drawn cups with less imperfections and satisfactory thickness distribution were formed in this study. It is concluded the greatest thinning appear in the corner of the cup near the punch radius due to extreme stretching take place in this area. Experimental forming load, blank holder load, and thickness distribution are compared with simulation results. Good agreement between experimental and numerical is evident.

The Impact

Wrinkling, which is primarily caused by insufficient blank holder force, is a significant issue that induces inconsistencies in forming parts, particularly in the deep drawing process. In this article, an investigation of the wrinkling in the deep drawing process of two-layer sheets is performed through an analytical approach, numerical method, and experimental tests. Increasing in the blank holder force, the process is under control by the proposed algorithm. Consequently, it aims to find the minimum required blank holder force to avoid wrinkling. The energy technique is utilized to predict the wrinkling in the analytical approach. Similarly, finite element simulations are implemented to investigate the effect of forming parameters on wrinkling. The experimental tests are performed to verify the analytical and numerical results. The impact of the material properties and stacking sequences (lay-up) on blank holder force and forming force are studied. Results show that the optimum blank holder force is dependent on the material properties, blank geometry, and layer stacking sequences. Also, a good agreement between analytical, numerical, and experimental results is achieved.

Deep Drawing Process

The formability of the drawn part in the deep drawing process depends not only on the material properties, but also on the equipment used, metal flow control and tool parameters. The most common defects can be the thickening, stretching and splitting. However, the optimization of tools including the die and punch parameters leads to a reduction of the defects and improves the quality of the products. In this paper, the formability of the camera cover by aluminum alloy A1050 in the deep drawing process was examined relating to the tool geometry parameters based on numerical and experimental analyses. The results showed that the thickness was the smallest and the stress was the highest at one of the bottom corners where the biaxial stretching was the predominant mode of deformation. The problems of the thickening at the flange area, the stretching at the side wall and the splitting at the bottom corners could be prevented when the tool parameters were optimized that related to the thickness and stress. It was clear that the optimal thickness distribution of the camera cover was obtained by the design of tools with the best values—with the die edge radius 10 times, the pocket radius on the bottom of the die 5 times, and the punch nose radius 2.5 times the sheet thickness. Additionally, the quality of the camera cover was improved with a maximum thinning of 25% experimentally, and it was within the suggested maximum allowable thickness reduction of 45% for various industrial applications after optimizing the tool geometry parameters in the deep drawing process.

Drawing Method

A new deep drawing process of sheet metals is developed to facilitate small-lot production of deep cups with large drawing ratio. In this process, unlike the conventional deep drawing method, a few drawn cups are always stacked on the punch and used as a part of punch for the subsequent deep drawing of a given blank. Before drawing a new blank, a drawn cup which is in contact with the punch is stripped off. The repetition of such stripping and drawing operations makes it possible to carry out both the first-stage drawing and the subsequent slight redrawings in one drawing operation using only one pair of punch and die. In this paper, this new deep drawing process is applied to the production of tapered cups and the main feature of the process is shown.
