Abstract:

Deep drawing involves conversion of flat thin sheet metal blanks into parts of desired shape. In the present investigation process parameters of warm forming are compared with Hydromechanical deep drawing. Warm deep drawing process of circular blanks is investigated using a 20 T hydraulic press. Hydro-mechanical deep drawing is a process for producing cup shaped components with the assistance of a pressurized fluid. drawability in terms of Limiting Draw Ratio (LDR) and the load that appears over the punch during deep drawing operations are compared for warm and Hydromechanical deep drawing operations.
