Factors affecting the deep drawing process – A review

Abstract

There are many applications for deep drawing when compared to other metal forming processes. The industry uses it extensively. Deep drawing in manufacturing is the toughest process to achieve a perfect product. The material wastage is very low, making it a very cost-effective process. Defects, both in shape and position, are dimensionally deviant and pose a great problem for industries who produce their products on a mass scale. Here we review various previous studies related to effect of factors on the deep drawing process. By this we can optimize the process to get required products without compromising the Quality and may also predict the result of the process depending on assumed values or conditions of the factors. Few of the factors that we have discussed here which can affect the deep drawing process are: Friction, Blank Holder Force, Lubrication, Temperature, Shape etc. The motive of the work is to make the simpler analysis of the deep drawing process. Here we have studied how we can reduce the defects by knowing how various factors affect the Deep Drawing Process and in what ways.
