This paper describes that the effects of punch speed and temperatures of the die and the blank holder on the drawability are examined. Up to now, multi-stage of dies sets have been used generally at room temperature in deep drawing of rectangular shaped components. But using local heating, it is shown that one stage of die set was capable of deep drawing and the drawability was increased and sheet thickness of component was drawn somewhat uniformly. Rectangular deep drawing experiments on two kinds of stainless steel STS316L, STS430 of 1.0 mm thickness have been conducted using local heating. The limiting drawing height can be increased by heating the die and the blank holder up to 100 .deg. C at STS316L. Commercial lubricants hadn't an effect on drawability in rectangular deep drawing, but vinyl and teflon film had an effect on it.

Center pillar, which is installed in the center of flank of car body, supports roof and door and ensures the safety of driver by reducing the damage of car body caused by impact. Recently, high-strength steel is widely used to manufacture the center pillar due to high stiffness and fuel efficiency. In this study, material properties of the high-strength steel, whose tensile strength is more than 780MPa, were obtained to produce the center pillar. Stamping was performed by considering the design parameters (blank holder force, press stroke, blank size and pad pressure) used in the actual filed. The drawbeads were included in the stamping process to reduce the amounts of wrinkling and spring back. Using the commercial software, Autoform R5.2 and Minitab, effects of design parameters of the stamping process upon spring back were analyzed and applied to the design process. The restriking process meets the target of under 0.5mm in the amount of spring back.

The analysis was carried out using the press molding analysis program by applying six parameters such as material type change, material thickness, friction coefficient, r_p, r_d and blank holder pressure. As a result of CAE analysis of the soft material DC04 and the relatively hard material HX300LAD, the thickness of the punch R part of the soft material was significantly reduced. The flange portion is greatly increased in thickness in the hard material by the compression action. As a result of considering the deformation amount of 0.6mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm according to the material thickness, the influence of the thickness is considered to be very small. In case of the material thickness of 0.6mm, the rate of change increases due to the deep drawing depth relative to the material thickness. The sizes of the punches R and die R have the greatest influence on the change in thickness of the material in drawing molding, the smaller the punch R, the thinner the edges of the product, The larger the R of the die, the greater the material thickness of the flange portion. As the coefficient of friction and the blank holder pressure increase, the frictional force of the flange portion increases, which increases the radial force in the drawing process and increases the thickness change of the flange portion.

This paper deals with the springback characteristics of cold rolled sheet steel through the use of the V-bending process and U-bending one. The influence of material properties on the springback of forming processes was investigated. In the V-bending process there was an optimum bend radius for each combination of parameters which produced minimal springback. In the U-bending process the blank holder force can control the degree of springback. A high blank holding force resulted in a uniform strain distribution and reduced the level of springback.

Sheet Metal Forming by Press Forming Process takes a lot of time and cost from mold design to manufacturing. Therefore, all of die-makers are continuously conducting research to reduce the number of mold processes or the size of blanks to reduce costs. In the case of Forming complex shapes such as automobile component, wrinkles and cracks occur, so draw beads are used. Draw beads play an important role in suppressing the inflow of materials and minimizing the size of blanks. Factors that affect material flow include draw bead, blank holding pressure, lubricant, and surface roughness of punch and die. Most of the factors affect friction. In this study, after classifying circular beads and rectangular beads in cylindrical drawing molds using the AutoForm analysis program, the factors affecting the material inflow were considered.

The field of sheet metal forming using press technology has become essential in modern mass production systems. Draw bead is often used to enhance formability. However, optimal draw bead design often requires excessive time and cost due to iterative experimentation and sometimes results in some defects. Given these challenges, there is a need to enhance formability by introducing segmented blank holders without draw beads. In this paper, the feasibility of a localized holding strategy using segmented blank holders is evaluated without the use of draw beads. The possibility for improving the formability was evaluated by utilizing a combination of the forming limit diagram and the wrinkle pattern-based defect indicators. Artificial neural networks were used for predicting defect indicators corresponding to arbitrary input holding forces and the NSGA-II optimization algorithm is used to find optimum blank holder forces yielding better defect indicators than the original process with drawbeads. Using optimum holding forces obtained from the proposed procedure, the stamping process with the segmented blank holders can yield better formability than the conventional process with drawbeads.

This paper describes a computer aided tool design system of deep drawing of cylindrical cups with or without flange by press. An approach to system is based on knowledge based system. The computer program has written in basic language with personal computer Knowledges for tool design are formulated from the plasticity theory, handbooks, experimental results and empirical knowhow of the field experts. The capabilities of developed system include 1) the selection of tool structure (with or without blank holder, single or double action, lift up or draw off type), 2) the design of tool elements(punch/holder, die/holder etc.) for the previous selected tool structure by the process planning output and the production quantity. The final output is generated in graphics form for design sheet.

The objective of this research works is to develop back panel dies of PDP TV with a large size. In order to design the geometry of the dies and an initial size of blank optimally, the finite element analysis has been carried out using AUTOFORM V4.2. The conner radius of the upper trimming area and the distance from the outer line of the blank holder to the outer line of the blank have been selected as design parameters to remove the wrinkling of the trimming area. The results of the analyses have been shown that a feasible product without wrinkles and skid lines can be obtained when the conner radius ranges from 6mm to 8mm and the distance lines in the range of 40-60mm. From the proposed design of the dies and an initial blank size, the final die set of the back panel has been successfully manufactured.

The deterioration of dimensional accuracy, caused by springback, is one of problems to always occur In sheet metal forming processes. As the demand for lighter and stronger metals increases, the development of improved forming processes settling the springback problem becomes more important. In this work, asymmetric springback phenomena are investigated, which occur in the shallow-drawing process with the anisotropic sheet metal and axisymmetric tools. The improvement possibility of dimensional accuracies, mainly, flatness, was examined by applying segmented blank holding forces as a method for springback control.

During the deep drawing process an initially flat blank is clamped between the die and the blank holder after which the punch moves down to deform the clamped blank into the desired shape. In general, sheet metal forming may involve stretching, drawing, bending or various combinations of those basic modes of deformation. The deformation problems of sheet metal working involve non-linearity in geometry and material. In this work, The punch load and thickness strain of electro-galvanized sheet steel (SECD) for elliptical deep drawing are examined under the various process conditions including, punch shape radius, die shape radius. The changes of punch load and thickness strain distribution of the deformed elliptical cup are affected by the size of each die shape radius.
