The study investigated the effect of grain size on the micro deep drawing of SUS304 stainless steel squares. Three stainless steel sheets with different thicknesses of 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm were treated by annealing processes at 1100 °C in which the holding times were varied in order to adjust the grain size. The sheets were used in the micro deep drawing processes for producing the square cups with 3 mm side length and 1.8 mm height. According to the design rules from references, the dimensions of the blank were determined to reduce the variation on the rim height of the square cup. The results showed that two peak values appeared on the load curves and the as-received sheet with the smallest grain size led to the largest load. Moreover, the cases of the as-received sheet with smaller grains had smoother surface textures than those of the annealed sheets with larger grains.

AbstractIn the present work, austenitic stainless steel (ASS) 304 foils with a thickness of 50 µm were first annealed at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1100 ℃ for 1 h to obtain different microstructural characteristics. Then the effects of microstructural characteristics on the formability of ASS 304 foils and the quality of drawn cups using micro deep drawing (MDD) were studied, and the mechanism involved was discussed. The results show that the as-received ASS 304 foil has a poor formability and cannot be used to form a cup using MDD. Serious wrinkling problem occurs on the drawn cup, and the height profile distribution on the mouth and the symmetry of the drawn cup is quite non-uniform when the annealing temperature is 700 ℃. At annealing temperatures of 900 and 950 ℃, the drawn cups are both characterized with very few wrinkles, and the distribution of height profile, symmetry and mouth thickness are uniform on the mouths of the drawn cups. The wrinkling becomes increasingly significant with a further increase of annealing temperature from 950 to 1100 ℃. The optimal annealing temperatures obtained in this study are 900 and 950 ℃ for reducing the generation of wrinkling, and therefore improving the quality of drawn cups. With non-optimized microstructure, the distribution of the compressive stress in the circumferential direction of the drawn foils becomes inhomogeneous, which is thought to be the cause of the occurrence of localized deformation till wrinkling during MDD.

This work shows the influence of the normal anisotropy (“r” value) in the deep drawing of AISI 439 ferritic stainless steel sheets. In order to do so, quantitative chemical analysis, metallographic analysis, tensile mechanical properties, and the determination of the “r” value and the “n” value were carried out in two different AISI 439 steel sheets of two different suppliers. In recent years, this ferritic stainless steel has been applied in a deep drawing process of automotive components. In this way, it must be said that one of these ferritic stainless steel sheets cracked due to exhaustion of formability during deep drawing after few steps. On the other hand, the second ferritic stainless steel sheet showed neither cracking nor other type of defects. The results of the tests, which were carried out in this work, probed that the“r” value has a strong influence on the forming behaviour of ferritic steel during deep drawing. This information is very relevant because the AISI 439 standard does not consider the planar anisotropy or the strain hardening coefficient as relevant for designation, but this type of steel is being applied in many forming operations of different components.

Micro metal forming is widely interested due to its potential in manufacturing micro parts with low costs and high production rate as the demands of compact devices have been increasing in many fields. This study uses micro ball punch deformation tests to investigate the effect of grain size on the formability of SUS 304 stainless steel sheets. The study employed annealing treatments to change the grain size of the sheets. By using three punches in different diameters in associated with three dies having an inner diameter of 2 mm and different die radii, it was able to perform micro bulging tests and obtain the bulging depths which were used to assess the formability of the sheets. The study shows that the grain size does affect the depth of the deformed dome in the ball punch deformation test at the micro scale.

Micro forming technology becomes a promising approach to fabricate micro-parts due to its advantages of high productivity, low production cost, good product quality and mechanical properties, and near net or net shape characteristics. However, the deformation behaviors of material change and the so-called size effect occurs when the part dimension is decreased to micro-scale. To analyze the quality of micro-parts, the material flow stress, anisotropy, ductility and formability in micro-scale need to be considered. In the paper, micro tensile and micro deep drawing tests of Ti foils were used and the size effects on deformation behavior and formability of micro sheet metal forming were studied. The results show that the flow stress of Ti foils is related with foil thickness and grain size. The fracture behaviors also have been changed from shear dimple to slip separation with the decrease of foil thickness. The formability of micro deep drawing becomes worse with the decrease of micro cup dimension and the increase of grain size.
