Deep Drawing Steel Sheet

Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process in which a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch.

Deep drawing steel sheet.

Deep drawing deep drawing is one of the most widely used processes in sheet metal forming. This process is used to manufacture small to mid sized metal equipment. Specifically if the depth of the item created is equal to or greater than its radius then the metal forming process can be called deep drawing. The deep drawing process is a forming process which occurs under a combination of tensile and compressive conditions.

It is thus a shape transformation process with material retention. Deep drawing steel is a widely used process for forming steel metal sheet into box or cup like structures. This process is sometimes called drawing and is not to be confused with the bulk deformation process of drawing discussed earlier. Pots and pans for cooking containers sinks automobile parts such as panels and gas tanks are among a few of the items manufactured by sheet metal deep drawing.

This is achieved by redrawing the part through a series of dies. While ferritic grades are less formable they still have outstanding ductility and can be deep drawn easily. They are very formable and the austenitic grades have substantially higher ductility than carbon steels. Deep drawing is a manufacturing process that is used extensively in the forming of sheet metal into cup or box like structures.

The process is considered deep drawing when the depth of the drawn part exceeds its diameter. The flange region experiences a radial drawing stress and a tangential compressive stress due to the material retention pro.
