Optimum tool design is carried out fur a multi-stage rectangular cup deep-drawing and ironing process with the large aspect ratio. Finite element simulation is carried out to investigate deformation mechanisms with the initial design made by an expert. The analysis considers the deep drawing process with ironing for the thickness control in the cup wall. The analysis reveals that the difference of the drawing ratio within the cross section and the irregular contact condition produce non-uniform metal flow to cause wrinkling and severe extension. For remedy, the modification guideline is proposed in the design of the tool and the process. Analysis results confirm that the modified tool design not only improves the quality of a deep-drawn product but also reduces the possibility of failure. The numerical result shows fair coincidence with the experimental one. After tryouts of the tool shape, the rectangular cup has been produced in the transfer press.

Three-dimensional rigid-plastic finite element formulation based on the membrane theory was described and a computer program for large deformation analysis was developed. In the formulation, normal and planar anisotropy of sheet material and rotation of the principal axes of anisotropy was taken into consideration. Sheet metal was assumed to be rigid-plastic material obeying Hill's quadratic yield criterion and its associated flow rule. Deep drawing process, as a preliminary test, for normal anisotropic material was analyzed in order to examine the validity of developed finite element program. The results were consistent with the existing finite element solutions or experimental data. The present study was mainly concerned with the influence of planar anisotropy on deformation behaviour. Finite element analysis and experiment were carried out for the whole process of deep drawing of planar anisotropic material. The computational and experimental results on the shape of ear, strain distribution and punch load were in good agreement.

The study is concerned with finite element analysis and design of axisymmetric deep drawing by local heating. When the bottom shape of a cup is not flat but in complex-shaped, i.e., hemispherical, the cup cannot be drawn in one or two processes in the conventional deep drawing process and the limit drawing ratio is limited as well. By introducing local heating selectively with regards to the heating position, the formability of the sheet metal can be greatly increased with the reduced number of processes. In the Process analysisthe rigid- viscoplastic finite element method is employed and the temperature effect is incorporated. Bishop's step-wise decoupled method is employed to analyze the thermomechanical interaction between deformation and heat transfer. Axisymmetric deep drawing of a hemisphere-bottomed cup has been analyzed for various combinations of heat application in the punch and the die. At the first stage of deep drawing stretch forming is practically carried out by firmly pressing the blankholder with the punch and the die heated at various levels of temperature. Then at the second stage the same cup is drawn for the saame or different combination of temperature. From the computation, it has thus been shown that the fromability of a cup is greatly increased in two-stage deep drawing with increased limet drawing ratio.

In this paper,we will discuss in the forming process design of the making engine pulleys for automobiles. These pulleys are required to be made by precision deep drawing process because these are to be combined with bearings and engine timing belts. These pulleys are used of cold rolled steel plates starting with the initial blanking size of 115.2mm and the initial thickness of 1.2mm. Our deep drawing process is designed the continuous 5-steps process, that is, 1'st deep drawing, 2'nd reverse redrawing, 3'rd trimming, 4'th drawing-ironing and 5'yh piercing. This process need no in-process annealing.

In this paper. we will discuss in making large size cylindrical shells with multithickness wall sections such as straight, stepped, tapered sides. These shells are constructed of type 6061 O temper aluminum starting with a blanking size of 877 mm plate. Its diameter to length ratio of 1 to 2.78 and a 36.7％ wall reduction is achieved by our continuous deep drawing process. This process required no in-process annealing. But after cold working, these shells is performed heat treatment to T6 condition. These shells are used for the making of seamless LPG pressure vessels after the spinning process. This process is composed of deep drawing, reverse redrawing, drawing-ironing and several ironing processes. In the verification of forming process design, we used DEFORM code.

The formability of DP steels can be affected by not only initial texture but also deformation texture evolved during plastic deformation. To investigate the evolution of deformation texture during deep drawing, deep drawing process for DP steels was carried out experimentally. A rate sensitive polycrystal model was used to predict texture evolution during deep drawing process. In order to evaluate the strain path during deep drawing, a steady state was assumed in the flange part of deep drawn cup. A rate sensitive polycrystal model successfully predicted the texture development in DP steels during deep drawing process. It was found that the final stable orientations were strongly dependent on the initial location in the blank.

In this work, finite element investigations were carried out to manufacture a seamless aluminum liner without crack generation using four-stage deep drawing followed by two-stage ironing process. In order to predict the crack generation during the liner manufacturing process, the Normalize Cockroft-Latham(NCL) which is one of ductile fracture criteria was adopted. In addition, the tensile tests were carried out to obtain the critical value of NCL by comparing the experimental and FE simulation results. From this, various case studies based on FE simulation were carried to obtain the optimum die designs which can prevent the crack generation during ironing processes. Finally, the aluminum liner was successfully made using obtained die designs so that requirements were met in terms of thickness and height of the liner.

This paper discusses some techniques for the determination of optimum blank size and pre-form design for multi-stepped deep drawing of oval shell. The deep drawing process of oval shape has been regarded as more difficult than that of cylindrical shell because of its complicated behavior of plastic deformation. But there is insufficient information in this area to carry out successful deep drawing work of irregular products such as oval, rectangular, and square shapes. In order to find the optimum conditions, the drawing apparatus for two kinds of pre-form design are built, a series of drawing experiments performed, and thickness stain distributions measured. From the results of thess suggested experiments, various optimum process variables are observed and discussed.

In this study, finite element analysis for multi-stage deep drawing process of rectangular configuration with extreme aspect ratio is carried out especially for the blank design. The analysis of rectangular deep drawing process with extreme aspect ratio is likewise very difficult with respect to the design process parameters including the intermediate die profile. In order to solve the difficulties, numerical approach using finite element method is performed in the present analysis and design. A series of experiments for multi-stage rectangular deep drawing process are conducted and the deformed configuration is investigated by comparing with the results of the finite element analysis. Additionally, to minimize amount of removal material after trimming process, finite element simulation is applied for the blank modification. The analysis incorporates brick elements for a rigid-plastic finite element method with an explicit time integration scheme using LS-DYNA3D.
