Abstract
Deep drawing of sheet metals using Maslennikov’s technique has been analyzed by analytical and finite element simulation approaches. A new friction model based on local contact conditions has been used in the finite element (FE) simulations of the process. Compared to traditional Coulomb friction model, the results of FE simulations with the new friction model show good correlation with analytical calculations. The effects of key process parameters such as rubber ring thickness, ring inner diameter, die hole diameter, and die profile radius on the results have been investigated. The results showed that very deep cups without thinning in the side wall portion can be achieved with this process. Based on the results of FE analysis, it was found that the maximum drawing ratio can be achieved by adopting a combination of process parameters which correspond to points nearest to the fracture limit.
