Abstract
Deep drawing is the process of obtaining three-dimensional containers of certain depths and shapes under pressing forces with the help of drawing molds of sheet materials. In this study, the numerical shaping of rectangular cups in angled deep drawing dies was investigated experimentally and by using the finite element method (FEM). For this purpose, die/blank holder surfaces have α=0°, α=3°, α=6°, α=9°, α=12° and α=15° angles in order to facilitate material flow into the die cavity. The punch and die corner radii are taken as 8 mm. St37 steel sheet with a thickness of 0,9 mm was used as the test material. The experiments were carried out by applying die/blank holder forces of 2500 N, 5000 N, 7500 N and 10000 N. The effects of angles and die/blank holder force on limit draw ratio, wall thickness and the damage of cups were investigated experimentally and numerically, and optimum punch force was determined. Obtained experimental results were compared with ANSYS results. As a result, it has been determined that the increase in die/blank holder surface angles in drawing dies with rectangular geometry with different angles provides a higher limit drawing rate than conventional dies. It has been seen that the experimental results and numerical results are approximate values.
