Deep drawing
Is the forming of smooth (blanks into hollow
parts it is a process which involves forming by
tensile and compressive forces.
Procedure
1. The blank is placed on the die surface
and the blank holder pressure is applied.
14. Explain with sketches the difference between direct and reverse redrawing then mention the advantages of
reverse redrawing.
Reverse redrawing
2. Wrinkling in the wall takes place when a wrinkled flange is drawn into the cup or if
the clearance is very large, resulting in a large (unsuspended) region.
3. Tearing occurs because of high tensile stresses that cause thinning and failure of the
metal in the cup wall Tearing can also occur in a drawing process if the die has a sharp
corner radius.
4. Earring occurs when the material is anisotropic, has varying Properties in different
directions.
5. Surface scratches can be seen on the drawn part if the punch and die are not smooth
or if the lubrication of the process is poor.
16. List the possible reasons for the cup wrinkling during deep drawing.
* State some of the possible reasons for cup fracture in deep drawing.
19. A steel wire 5.8 mm diameter is drawn to 4.6 mm using a die whose angle is 5º. The coefficient of
friction at the die working surface is 0.1. Calculate the percentage reduction in the drawing force if a die
with an optimum angle was used.
20. A steel wire 6.8 mm diameter is drawn to 5.9 mm using a die whose angle is 8º. The coefficient of
friction at the die working surface is 0.1. The wire entering the die has been subjected to a logarithmic
strain = 0.15. The flow curve is given by: σf = 670 φ0.25 [N/mm2], Find out:
The total drawing force. If the ultimate tensile strength of the sheet material is σult. = 420 MPa, is the
operation successful?
II. How much of this force is required to overcome internal shearing force?
III. What is the optimum die angle for the given working conditions?
IV. Calculate the percentage reduction in the drawing force if a die with an optimum angle was used.
V. Compare friction force and internal shearing force when the die angle is 8º and when it is optimum.
21. Illustrate the followings:
I. Wire drawing
While wire drawing is meant for small diameter stock. Wire sizes of the order of 0.03 mm are produced in wire
drawing.
wire is drawn from coils consisting of several hundred meters of wire and is drawn through a series of dies The
number of dies varies between 4 and 12 This is termed as continuous drawing because of the long production runs
that are achieved with the wire coils The segments can be butt welded to the next to make the operation truly
continuous.
22. List with sketches the different types of tube drawing and mention the application of each method.
Drawing without a mandrel (tube sinking) The tube is pulled through the
drawing die hole with no support from inside In this process, only the external
diameter measurements are precise the wall thickness and internal diameter
deviate more This process, known as tube sinking, is only applied to tubes
with smaller internal diameters
Using a fixed mandrel In this case, a mandrel is attached to a long support bar to
control the inside diameter and wall thickness during the operation the length of
the support bar restricts the length of the tube that can be drawn.
Using a floating plug: As the name suggests the mandrel floats inside the tube
and its shape is designed so that it finds a suitable position in the reduction
zone of the die. There is no length restriction in this as seen with the fixed
mandrel.
