Drawing Analysis of Aluminum Alloy Aa1200 Sheet Metal

Abstract

Here presents a new technique for deep drawing of cylindrical cups and the aim of this work
is investigation of sheet metal forming using a punch with blank-holder. In this technique a
cylindrical cup is produced by pushing a circular blank using a flat-headed circular punch
through a cylindrical die. Effects of die and punch geometry including, coefficient of friction,
blank-holder pressure, punch velocity, drawing load and thickness strain of the cup have
been investigated numerically for optimal process design.
