Deep-drawing Process
FIGURE 7.50 (a) Schematic illustration of the deep-drawing process. This procedure is the
first step in the basic process by which aluminum beverage cans are produced today. The
stripper ring facilitates the removal of the formed cup from the punch. (b) Variables in deep
drawing of a cylindrical cup. Only the punch force in this illustration is a dependent variable;
all others are independent variables, including the blankholder force.

Deep Drawing
FIGURE 7.60 Schematic illustration of the
variation of punch force with stroke in deep
drawing. Note that ironing does not begin until
after the punch has traveled a certain distance and
the cup is formed partially. Arrows indicate the
beginning or ironing.
FIGURE 7.61 Effect of die and punch
corner radii in deep drawing on
fracture of a cylindrical cup. (a) Die
corner radius too small. The die corner
radius should generally be 5 to 10
times the sheet thickness. (b) Punch
corner radius too small. Because
friction between the cup and the punch
aids in the drawing operation,
excessive lubrication of the punch is
detrimental to drawability.

Ironing Process

ironing process. Note that the cup wall is
thinner than its bottom. All beverage cans
without seams (known as two-piece cans) are
ironed, generally in three steps, after being
deep drawn into a cup. (Cans with separate
tops and bottoms are known as three-piece
cans.)
Normal Anisotropy
FIGURE 7.55 Definition of the normal anisotropy

ratio, R, in terms of width and thickness strains in a
tensile-test specimen cut from a rolled sheet. Note
that the specimen can be cut in different directions
with respect to the length, or rolling direction, of
the sheet.

Tractrix Die Profile
FIGURE 7.63 Deep drawing without a blankholder, using a tractrix die profile. The
tractrix is a special curve, the construction for which can be found in texts on analytical
geometry or in handbooks.

Effect of Average Normal Anisotropy

anisotropy, R, on limiting drawing ratio
(LDR) for a variety of sheet metals. Zinc has
a high c/a ratio (see Figure 3.2c), whereas
titanium has a low ratio. Source: After M.
Arkinson.
