Deep drawing process at the elevated temperature: A critical review and future research directions

Abstract

The deep drawing process is utilized for the manufacturing of sheet metal components in the automobile and aerospace industries. The present study briefs about the current developments in the deep drawing process at the elevated temperature. The comparative study is carried out on the utilization of different approaches and techniques for deep drawing of various sheet metals. The effects of geometrical and process parameters are considered for the elimination of defects like tearing, wrinkling, earing, and spring-back. The study also focuses on deep drawing of the sandwich composite materials at elevated temperatures. The different behaviors and formability are observed from the result for different materials at the elevated temperatures, which indicates the positivity in drawing of complex profile components as per the industry requirements.
