This article is aimed primarily at establishing a process planning method for complex circular shells. For the deep drawing of complex shaped shell, the optimum process design is required to reduce the trial cost improve the quality, increase the productivity and shorten the delivery. The present approach which is related to the optimum process planning is based on the empirical knowledge through trial and error in the industrial field. In order to check the validity and the effectiveness of proposed work a sample process design has been applied to the multi-stepped deep drawing of com-plex shell considering the process variables such as drawing rate radius and blank development. In particular the difference between the limiting drawing rate and to optimum drawing rate has been discussed and the usefulness of present suggestion has been shown.

A practical example of the axisymmetric deep drawing process is simulated by the elastic-plastic finite element analysis using updated Lagrangian approach considering the large deformation. An approach is suggested to solve the problem of the ductile fracture that may encounter during the deep drawing process. The result can be applied to the design of the die for the axisymmetric deep drawing.

The limit drawing ratio (LDR) is a major process parameter in the process design of deep drawing. If the actual drawing ratio is greater than the LDR for a particular stage then an intermediate stage has to b added the process sequence to avoid failure during the drawing operation and the optimal process design considering for the first-drawing and redrawing by using finite element method combined with ductile fracture criterion. From the results of finrte element analysis the optimal value of drawing ratio is obtained which contributes to the more uniform distribution of thickess and the smaller values of the ductile fracture infinal cup.

In this study, finite element analysis for multi-stage deep drawing process of rectangular configuration with extreme aspect ratio is carried out especially for the blank design. The analysis of rectangular deep drawing process with extreme aspect ratio is likewise very difficult with respect to the design process parameters including the intermediate die profile. In order to solve the difficulties, numerical approach using finite element method is performed in the present analysis and design. A series of experiments for multi-stage rectangular deep drawing process are conducted and the deformed configuration is investigated by comparing with the results of the finite element analysis. Additionally, to minimize amount of removal material after trimming process, finite element simulation is applied for the blank modification. The analysis incorporates brick elements for a rigid-plastic finite element method with an explicit time integration scheme using LS-DYNA3D.

A computer-aided process design system for axisymmetric deep drawing products has been developed. An approach to the system is based on the knowledge based system. The hypothesized process outline of the deep drawing operations is generated in the geometrical design module of the system. In this paper, the module has been expanded. The rules of process design sechems for complex cup drawings are formulated from handbooks, experimental results and empirical knowhow of the field experts. The input to the system is final sheet-metal objects geometry and the output from the system is process sequence with intermediate objects geometries and process parameters, such as drawing load, blank holding force, clearance and cup-drawing coefficient.

In this paper,we will discuss in the forming process design of the making engine pulleys for automobiles. These pulleys are required to be made by precision deep drawing process because these are to be combined with bearings and engine timing belts. These pulleys are used of cold rolled steel plates starting with the initial blanking size of 115.2mm and the initial thickness of 1.2mm. Our deep drawing process is designed the continuous 5-steps process, that is, 1'st deep drawing, 2'nd reverse redrawing, 3'rd trimming, 4'th drawing-ironing and 5'yh piercing. This process need no in-process annealing.

In deep drawing of sheet metal, there are many cases in which the uniform and thin wall thickness of the drawn products is more important than the bottom thickness. In this case, we can not easily get the deep drawn products with the uniform and precise wall thickness by only drawing process. Therefore in general the manufacturing processes which both the drawing and the ironing process are proceeded sequentially are used. But this method has the disadvantages of a cost-up, decrease of productivity and degradation of quality, because the ironing process is added after the drawing process. In this study, in order to improve those problems and to enhance the effect of deep drawing, the combined process of redrawing and ironing fur multistep drawing of cylindrical cups is used. In this experiment, we considered the characteristics of the combined process such as the relation between the drawing and ironing rates, the drawing limits and the forces needed for operations. The suggested force prediction shows that it can successfully represent experimental results.

A method of determining an optimum blank shape for non-circular deep drawing process is extended to the multi-stage deep drawing process. As an example concentric two-stage square deep drawing process is considered and the ideal blank shape with uniform cup height and without flange part after the process is constructed by the backward tracing of rigid plastic FEM. The conventional square blank shapes are also adopted for the comparison of two cases. As a result it is confirmed that the drawn products with better thickness strain distribution and deeper cup depth could be obtained by the suggested ideal blank shapes.

The shell body is the main exterior part of a compressor, and production of shell bodies has increased along with a growing demand for air conditioners, refrigerators, air compressors, and so on. Cracks frequently occur in the process of welding a shell body. In this study, a deep drawing process for creating a shell body from a blank is developed. The technique consists of a four-step deep drawing and a two-step trimming process. Analysis is performed by DEFORM software to examine the safety of the deep drawing and trimming processes. The deep drawing process for the shell body developed in this study would have wide application in many industrial fields.
