In this study, the experiments of warm deep drawing were done with heated die, and with heated die, and blankholder, and cooled punch in order to investigate the formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet in warm deep drawing. For this, warm deep drawing experiments were executed under various temperatures and punch velocities. The results of warm deep drawing with heated die showed that fracture occurred around the punch part at punch velocity of 75mm/min and punch stroke of 10mm under temperature range of 373-523K, but did not occur under temperature range of 548-673K even punch stroke of 25mm. And fracture at the punch stroke of 25mm and the temperature of 523K did not occur under the punch velocity of 30mm/min, but occurred under punch velocity of 75 and 125mm/min. Also warm deep drawing with heated die and blankholder, and cooled punch showed that the temperature range happening maximum height under punch velocity of 10-100mm/min was around 498-523K. Finally, with heating and cooling technique necking of AZ31 magnesium alloy occurred at punch shoulder part under the temperature range of 293-423K, but at die wall part under the temperature range of 473-573K.

And fracture at punch stroke of 25mm did not occurre at punch part under punch velocity of 30mm/min and $250^{\circ}C$, but occured under punch velocity of 75 and 125 mm/min. Also the results of warm deep drawing with heated die and cooled punch showed that the temperature happening maximum height under punch velocity of 10-100mm/min was $225-250^{\circ}C$.

This study is to investigate the effects of warm deep drawing with aluminum sheets of A1050-H16 and A5020-H32 for improving deep drawability. Experiments for producing circular cups and square cups were carried out for various working conditions, such as forming temperature and blank shapes. The limit drawing ratio(LDR) of 2.63 in warm deep drawing of circular cups in case of A5020-H32 sheet, whereas LDR of 2.25 in case of A1050-H16, could be obtained and the former was 1.4 times higher than the value at room temperature. The maximum relative drawing depth for square cups of A5020-H32 material was also about 1.92 times deeper than the depth drawn at room temperature. The effects of blank shape and forming temperature on drawability as well as thickness distribution of drawn cups were examined and discussed.

Warm deep drawing for optimum forming conditions to give the maximum drawing depth is investigated and compared with the results from experiments performed at room temperature. Experiments which draw square cups of STS 304 stainless steel sheet under the constant lubrication condition of teflon film are made both in a crank and hydraulic press for two kinds of specimens. The maximum drawing depth at warm forming condition reaches 1.4 times the drawing depth at room temperature in a crank press, whereas 1.6 times in a hydraulic press, and also more uniform distribution of thickness in case of warm deep drawn cup is observed. The effects of other factors on formability, such as forming temperature, speed of press and cooling of punch are examined and discussed.

In this paper, warm deep drawing process with local heating and cooling technique was attempted to improve the formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy which is impossibly to form by conventional methods at room temperature by finite element method and experiment. For FE analysis, in first model with considering heat transfer, both die and blankholder were heated to 573K while the punch was kept at room temperature by cooling water. Also distribution of thickness and von Mises stress at room temperature and 498k for warm deep drawing were compared by FEM. Uniaxial tension tests at elevated temperature were done in order to obtain the temperature dependence of material constant under temperature of $293K\~573K$ and cross head velocity of $5\~500mm/min$. The phenomenological model for warm deep drawing process in this work was based on the hardening law and power law strain rate dependency. Deep drawing experiment were conducted at temperatures of room temperature, 373K, 423K, 473K, 498K, 523K, and 573K for the blank and deep drawing tools(holder and die) and at a punch speed of 10mm/min.

The warm deep drawability in square cup drawing is investigated about a newly developed high-strength steel sheet with retained austenite which is transformed into martensite during forming. For this investigation, six steps of temperature ranges, from room temperature to $250^{\circ}C$, and five kinds of drawing ratio, from 2.2 to 2.6 were adopted. As a result the maximum drawing force and the maximum drawing depth were affected by the elevated temperatures, and the more stable thickness strain distribution was observed to the elevated temperatures. But blue shortness happened over $200^{\circ}C$. The FEM analysis using the LS-DYNA code is adopted to compare the experimental results with the analytical results for thickness strain distribution.

Warm deep drawability in a square cup drawing was investigated using a newly developed high-strength steel sheet with retained austenite that was transformed into martensite during formation. For this investigation, six different temperatures between room temperature and 250℃, and five different drawing ratios ranging from 2.2 to 2.6 were considered. The results showed that the maximum drawing force and the drawing depth were affected by the change in temperature, and a more stable thickness strain distribution was observed at elevated temperatures. However, blue shortness occurred at over 200℃. FEM analysis using the LS-DYNA code was used to compare the experimental results with the numerical results for the thickness strain distribution.

Magnesium alloys have been paid attention In automotive and industries as lightweight materials, and with these materials it has been attempted at deep drawing process for assessment of formability of sheet metal. For warm deep drawing process with a local heating and cooling technique, both die and blank holder were heated at warm temperature while the punch was kept at room temperature by cooling water. Warm deep-drawing process with considering heat transfer was simulated by finite element method to investigate the improvement of deep-drawability and temperature distribution of Mg alloy sheet. The effect of sham rate sensitivity index on the deformation profile was considered in this work and the simulation results revealed that considering heat transfer is very effective for deep-drawability of Mg alloy. The deformed blank In considering heat transfer was drawn successfully without any localized thinning and the cup height is higher in contrast to results of simulations in considering no heat transfer.
