Simulation of Ironing Process for Earring Reduction in Sheet Metal Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

Manufacturing of beverage cans is porcessed by using multi-stage ironing following deep drawing from the sheet material of aluminum and steel. An earing profiles are develops during deep drawing of cylindrical cup due to the planar anisotropic properties of sheet. Therefore, the analysis of earing is important to evaluate and control the development of earing. This paper describes a simulation of the cold ironing process in the forming cylinder cap. The ironing process in this study was focused on the prediction of height increasing, earing and thinning. Two different materials of aluminum AA5042 and AKDQ steel were selected for comparison. The results show that the increasing of cup height was in the same trend.
