Investigation the plastic flows in the metal stamping-drawing process at the die corner

Abstract

The present investigation covers the study of the influence of metal-plastic flow on the die corner for the deformed state of the blank and energy-power parameters during stamping-drawing. The influence of workpiece size and material on stress intensity and maximum deformation force has also been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. In addition, simulation of the stamping and drawing process was also presented. One type of die, with variations in diameter are considered different in the drawn part size and for each standard size four types of workpiece materials have been considered. The stamping process continued until the part failed structurally. The predicted test results show a dependence of the maximum load and stress intensity on both the diameter of the blank and the yield strength of the alloys and these data are in agreement with the actual measured values. Then, the method for calculating the processes of plastic deformation of metals based on a closed set of equations of continuum mechanics is proposed for the theoretical study of energy-power parameters of the technological processes. Comparison of the results of a full-scale experiment, simulation of metal flow at the die corner and theoretical calculations shows that the proposed theoretical model gives satisfactory results and can be effectively used for engineering calculations.
