Deep drawing process to produce square cup is very complex process due to a lot of process parameters which control on this process, therefore associated with it many of defects such as earing, wrinkling and fracture. Study of the effect of some process parameters to determine the values of these parameters which give the best result, the distributions for the thickness and depths of the cup were used to estimate the effect of the parameters on the cup numerically, in addition to experimental verification just to the conditions which give the best numerical predictions in order to reduce the time, efforts and costs for producing square cup with less defects experimentally is the aim of this study. The numerical analysis is used to study the effect of some parameters such as die profile radius, radial clearance between die and punch, blank diameter on the length and thickness  distributions on the cup, dynamic-explicit (ANSYS11) code based on finite element method is utilized to simulate the square deep drawing operation. Experiments were done for comparison and verification the numerical predictions. effective square cup with less defects and acceptable thickness distributions were produced in this study. It is concluded  the most thinning appear in the corner cup due to excessive stretching occur in this region and also it is found the cup thickness and height prediction by numerical analysis and in general in harmony with experimental analysis.

Deep drawing process, one of sheet metal forming methods, is very useful in industrial field because of its efficiency. The deep drawing process is affected by many material and process parameters, such as the strain-hardening exponent, plastic strain ratio, anisotropic property of blank, friction and lubrication, blank holder force, presence of drawbeads, the profile radius of die and punch, etc. In this paper, a finite element method is used to investigate the cylindrical deep drawing process. The thickness of product and the forming force predicted by current simulation are compared with the experimental data. A finite element method is also used to investigate the maximum forming load and the minimum thickness of products under various process parameter conditions, including the profile radius of die, the clearance between die cavity and punch and the blank holding force. Furthermore, the material anisotropy and process parameters effect on the earing are also investigated.

Abstract Deep drawing is a forming process in which a blank of sheet metal is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch and converted to required shape. Deep drawing involves complex material flow conditions and force distributions. Radial drawing stresses and tangential compressive stresses are induced in flange region due to the material retention property. These compressive stresses result in wrinkling phenomenon in flange region. Normally blank holder is applied for restricting wrinkles. Tensile stresses in radial direction initiate thinning in the wall region of cup. The thinning results into cracking or fracture. The finite element method is widely applied worldwide to simulate the deep drawing process. For real-life simulations of deep drawing process an accurate numerical model, as well as an accurate description of material behavior and contact conditions, is necessary. The finite element method is a powerful tool to predict material thinning deformations before prototypes are made. The proposed innovative methodology combines two techniques for prediction and optimization of thinning in automotive sealing cover. Taguchi design of experiments and analysis of variance has been applied to analyze the influencing process parameters on Thinning. Mathematical relations have been developed to correlate input process parameters and Thinning. Optimization problem has been formulated for thinning and Genetic Algorithm has been applied for optimization. Experimental validation of results proves the applicability of newly proposed approach. The optimized component when manufactured is observed to be safe, no thinning or fracture is observed.

Logical Extension

The present work is introduced and is shown to be a logical extension of work by Chung and Swift, Ray and Berry, et al. The authors introduce the deep drawing process and analyze the stresses due to radial drawing (including friction), bending the sheet, unbending the sheet, and die profile friction. From these stresses, an expression for the total punch load is developed. The authors also describe the experimental work in which determinations are made of the work hardening exponents, the anisotropic coefficients, the friction coefficients, and the total punch load. The paper concludes by comparing the numerical evaluation of the maximum punch load with that determined from experiments.

Thickness Variations

In this paper, effects of friction coefficient and tool geometry on the thickness variations of a cylindrical cup were studied. Blank is made of SPXI250 alloy sheet which was analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM). This not been studied yet. Finite Element modeling of the deep drawing process was conducted using ABAQUS/EXPLICIT software. A set of appropriate die and punch were designed for experimental tests. The results of the simulation showed that a change in the friction coefficient of the die-blank interface leads to a significant changes in the cup thickness. Moreover, the results revealed that the influence of die nose radius on the final cup thickness variations is greater than that of the punch nose radius. The simulation results of this study were compared with the experimental results and those of the other investigators’. The comparisons of the experimental and simulation results with those of the other researchers were so satisfactory.
