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.

The drawability of AZ31B magnesium sheet is estimated at various temperatures (200, 250, 300, 350, $400^{\circ}C$), forming speeds (20, 50, 100mm/min), thicknesses (0.8, 1.4mm) and blank holding forces (2.0, 2.8, 3.4kN). The deep drawing process (DDP) of circular cup is used in forming experiments. The results of deep drawing experiments show that the drawability is well at the range from 250 to $300^{\circ}C$, 50mm/min forming speed and 2.0kN blank holding force. The 0.8mm magnesium sheets were deformed better than 1.4 mm. Blank holding force was controlled in order to improve drawability and prevent the change of cup thickness. When blank holding force was controlled, tearing and thickness change were decreased and limit drawing ratio was improved from 2.1 to 3.0.

Deep drawing process, one of sheet metal forming methods, is very useful in the industrial field because of its efficiency The deep drawing is affected by many process variables, such as blank shapes, shape radii of the punch and die, formability of materials and so on. Especially, blank shape is very important formability factor. In this study, in order to investigate the effects of blank shape, we suggested three kinds of blank shapes and examined friction test about three conditions. We measured punch load distribution according to punch stroke under the conditions of each punch and die shape radii and observed punch load of elliptical cup forming.

In this study, it is investigated that the effect of material properties such as strength coefficient and strain hardening exponent on formability of AZ31 alloy sheet in square cup deep drawing process. Mechanical properties of AZ31 alloy sheet at elevated temperature $250^{\circ}C$ are obtained from uniaxial tensile tests and based on these results, a series of square cup deep drawing tests at the same temperature condition are carried out. Also, the possibilities of necking initiation is predicted by the FEM and FLD and compared with experimental results.

This paper presents an experimental study of deep-drawing and rubber-pad forming process using titanium alloy sheet. The process and results of the work carried out to investigate the capability of the process and to optimize th process parameters to ensure a sound forming. Room and high temperature tensile tests were carried out at various process conditions and microstructural evaluation was investigated. The experimental investigation was done using 150 ton hydraulic press to produce a deep-drawn part. Both graphite lubricant and polyethylene sheet were essential for defect-free product. Regarding the rubber-pad forming, reasonable formability was obtained only for pure-Ti not for Ti-6Al-4V.

A process design expert system for rotationally symmetric deep drawing products has been developed The application of the expert system to non-axisymmetric components, however, has not been reported yet. Thus, in this present study, the expert system for non-axisymmetric deep drawing products with elliptical shape was constructed by using process sequence design. The system developed in this work consists of four modules. The first one is a recognition of shape module to recognize non-axisymmetric products. The second one is three dimensional (3-D) modeling module to calculate the surface area for non-axisymmetric products. The third one is a blank design module to create an oval-shaped blank with the identical surface area. The forth one is a process planning module based on the production rules that play the best important role in an expert system for manufacturing. The production rules are generated and upgraded by interviewing with field engineers.

ISO 21029 cryogenic vessel is used to transport cryogenic fluids. High-manganese steel (High-Mn steel) is widely regarded as suitable for use at cryogenic temperatures. The conventional way of manufacturing an ellipsoidal vessel head involves incremental stretching, followed by a spinning process. In this study, an alternative method for forming an ellipsoidal vessel head was proposed. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to theoretically examine the strain evolution during a multi-stage forming process, which involved progressive stretching, deep drawing, and spinning of High-Mn steel. The distribution of effective strain and strain components were analyzed at different regions of the formed part. The FEA results revealed that only normal strains were evident in the dished region of the vessel head due to the stretching process. However, the flange region experienced complex strain evolution during the subsequent deep drawing and spinning process.
