Abstract
In recent days deep-drawing is one of the most important methods used for sheet metal forming. The geometries of die/blank holder and punch are one of the parameters for deep-drawing. This paper presents an attempt to determine the effect of different geometries of die/blank holder, punch radii and blank holding force on deep drawing process for the formability of DP Steel of 1mm sheet. The numerical simulations are performed for deep drawing of cylindrical cups at a constant frictional coefficient of 0.12 and different blank holding forces of 10, 15 and 20kN are used. For numerical simulation PAM STAMP 2G a commercial FEM code in which Hollomon’s power law and Hills 1948 yield’s criterion is used. The die/blank holder profile used with an angles of α=0°, 12.5°, 15° and die/punch profile with a radii of R= 6 and 8mm were simulated to determine the influence of punch force and thickness distribution on the limit drawing ratio. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of tool geometries on drawability of the deep-drawing process.
