This study is to investigate the effects of warm deep drawing with steel sheets of SCP3C and SCP1 for improving deep drawability. Experiments were carried out in various working conditions such as forming temperature and lubricantion. The effect of lubricantion and temperature on drawabillity of steel sheets as well as thickness distribution of drawn oil pan were examined and discussed. One step forming at room temperature and uniform distribution of thickness was achieved at optimum formability for lubricantion. The optimum forming temperature was obtained that both the die and the blankholder were heated to 10$0^{\circ}C$ while the punch was cooled by circulating coolant of $0^{\circ}C$.

Since the formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy is not good in room temperature, it is known that high temperature forming is advantageous. However, many studies are necessary to find the proper forming temperature for Mg alloy. In this study, experimental and FEM analysis are performed to investigate the forming temperature for AZ31 sheet. The deep drawing process of square cup is used in forming experiment and FEA. The investigations are performed in three forming temperature, room temperature, $250^{\circ}C\;and\;400^{\circ}C$. The square cup is well formed in $250^{\circ}C$ forming temperature, on the other hand, the crack and failure is presented in corner section in room and $250^{\circ}C$ forming temperature. The main cause is investigated as the effect of hardening range by the experimental and FEM results.

Friction for sheet metal forming affects improvement of deep drawing formability. The deep drawing is affected by many process variables, such as lubricant, blank shapes, shape radius and so on. Especially, lubrication is very important formability factor. In this study, in order to investigate fraction coefficient of sheet metal forming, we examined friction test about three conditions, such as non-lubrication, full lubrication and film lubrication. We measured friction coefficient according to pin load under the conditions like deep drawing die. Mean friction coefficient for film lubrication condition would be very useful value to improve drawability.

The use of magnesium alloys meets the need of reducing weight of componests(especially in automotive and aerospace industry) keeping unmodified their mechanical properties. The adoption of magnesium alloys in sheet forming processes is still limited, due to their low formability at room temperature caused by the hexagonal crystal structure. In this study, the authors aim to understand the process condition which can lead to a successful improvement in the formability of a magnesium alloy(AZ31). Experiment and simulations of deep drawing were doned at various warm temperature for the blank and tool(holde and die)while the punch was kept at room temperature by cooling wale. in order to confirm that the deep drawing performance of magnesium alloy can be considerably enhanced with using the local heating and cooling technique.

The texture evolution by deep drawing was investigated and the lattice rotation rate was predicted using rate sensitive model with full constraints boundary conditions. The calculated textures show different behaviors with the amount of the flange deformation and initial crystal orientations. Among the crystal orientations located parallel to RD, the crystal orientations around the D component rotated toward the Cu component, the crystal orientations along the ${\alpha}$ fiber rotated toward the {110}<001> and {110}<111> components during deep drawing. In the case of the part parallel to 45$^{\circ}$ with respect to RD, the crystal orientations around the D component rotated about ND and the crystal orientations along the ${\alpha}$ fiber also rotated toward the (110)[23] and (110)[27] components about ND. In the part parallel to TD, the crystal orientations around the D component rotated toward the Rotated Cube and the crystal orientations along the ${\alpha}$ fiber rotated toward the {110}<113> component.

In this study, the failure in circular cup deep drawing simulation at warm temperature is predicted using forming limit diagram (FLD). The FLD is used in sheet metal forming analysis to determine the criterion for fracture prediction. The simulation with heat transfer of circular cup deep drawing at warm temperature was conducted. To predict the failure, the simulation with heat transfer used FLD at temperature in the vicinity of maximum thinning. The result of the simulation with heat transfer shows that the drawn depth increases with increasing temperature and is in accord with the experimental results above $150^{\circ}C$. The FLD provides a good guide for the failure prediction of warm forming simulation with heat transfer.

Finite element analysis is carried out for simulation of the multi-stage elliptic cup drawing process with the large aspect ratio. The analysis incorporates with shell elements for an elasto-plastic finite element method with the explicit time integration scheme. For the simulation, LS-DYNA3D is utilized for its wide capability of solving forming problems. The simulation result shows that the non-uniform drawing ratio at the elliptic cross section ad the small shoulder radius cause failure such as tearing and wrinkling. The result suggests the guideline to modify the tool shape for prevention of the failure during the drawing process.

Since the sheet metal forming of Mg alloy is performing at elevated temperature, the effect of process conditions related with the forming temperature is very important factor. Therefore, the investigation for process variables is necessary to design the tools and process conditions. In this study, the effects of process variables were studied by the experimental and FE analysis using the square cup deep drawing. The temperature, forming speed, and lubricant condition were investigated. When forming temperature was $250^{\circ}C$, speed forming was low, and teflon sheet was used as lubricant, the formed parts were good without defects.

In the present study, a contact search and check algorithm for general tool surface described by triangular FE patch is proposed. To improve numerical stability, SEAM element using the linear Coons interpolation has been used. To check the proposed algorithm, both clover cup and L-shape cup deep drawing processes are calculated. The computed results shows that the proposed contact algorithm can be successfully applied for sheet metal forming processes with general shaped tools.

The clad sheet is the sheet metal that joined the one or more material with the different property by rolling process. In this study, it is investigated about the mechanical property or formability of SUS-Al-Mg clad sheet. The clad sheet was formed at elevated temperature because of their poor formability at room temperature. The tensile test was confirmed at various temperature and the reduction of strain rate above $250^{\circ}C$. LDR(Limited Drawing Ratio) was obtained through deep drawing test to confirm the formability of the clad sheet. The FE analysis is performed to compare prototype products.
