Abstract
Deep drawing can be generally described as a process of converting a metal sheet into a desired shape and geometry. Material flow and formability of the blank depends on the die and the punch geometries and it is important to predict the material behavior during square deep drawing to reduce possibility of defect and part rejection. In this research, a 3D Finite Element (FE) model is developed to simulate the square deep drawing process of an AA6061-T6 material using ANSYS Explicit Dynamics. The developed model can be used to predict the thinning pattern of the blank especially at the corner area. This research focus on the effect of design parameters namely punch corner radius (R1), punch nose radius (R2), die corner radius (R3) and die shoulder radius (R4) towards thinning pattern.
