Theoretical Prediction of Thickness Distribution on Warm Deep Drawn AISI 304 Steel Cup

Abstract:

Warm deep drawing is a non-conventional deep drawing process which is performed by applying heat in the conventional deep drawing, at the same time keeping the blank below the recrystallization temperature. Austenitic stainless steels like AISI 304 are widely used in food and automotive industries. Most of the current research work in warm deep drawing has been focussing on experimental and numerical simulation only. In this work, a new methodology is proposed to calculate the thickness distribution of the warm deep drawn circular cup from AISI 304 stainless steel sheet of 1.0 mm thickness analytically at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300°C. The results of the theoretical approach show a reasonably good correlation with the experimental results.
