Formability Analysis with Precise Surface Building for the Automobile Outer Clutch Shell

Abstract

Majority of automobile and appliance components are made by deep drawing sheet metal process. So these growing needs demand a new design methodology based on metal forming simulation. With the help of metal forming simulation we can identify the problem areas and solutions can be validated. The aim of this research is to develop techniques that would reduce the amount of time spent during the tool qualifying stage. In this paper the draw tools on Automobile outer clutch shell surface are designed by the precise die surface at different dimensions and draw processes is analyzed with appropriate simulation parameters. From this we got the most reliable results. The compression with the tryout part shows that the simulation process can accurately predict the formability problems.
