Abstract
Deep drawing if an important sheet metal working process which finds application in almost all industrial sectors. The growing importance on waste and energy reduction has necessitated utilization welded sheet metal blanks for which are finally formed to near-net shaped products. The quality, defects and overall success of the sheet metal products significantly depend on the sheet metal orientation during deep drawing. This is also important in respect of proper layout of for the sheet metal blank for optimum utilization of material and waste reduction. It is worthwhile for the professionals to keep abreast with important aspects of deep drawing of welded sheet metal. Current chapter presents a comprehensive state of the art on the deep drawability, of welded sheet metal made from similar/dissimilar materials and equal/unequal thicknesses combinations. The role of sheet metal anisotropy, effect of orientation of sheet metal, position of weld-line, flow line shift during deep drawing etc. and their effect on the deep-drawn product has been presented.
