The working principle and main steps of deep drawing stamping will be introduced in detail below.
What is deep draw stamping？
Deep drawing stampingis a professional deep drawing forming technology that can process flat metal materials into seamless and hollow shapes. Different from other metal forming processes, the deep drawing stamping process guides the metal into the mold cavity and deforms it in a plastic state, thereby creating durable and high-precision bottom closed parts, such as cylinders or various shapes. Different cup-shaped parts. This efficient and precise manufacturing process plays a vital role in many industries, especially those that require extremely high component strength and precision.
How Does deep draw stamping work？
The core idea ofdeep drawing stamping technologyis to use a punch to radially pull a metal sheet (often called a blank) into a forming die, thereby converting the material from a flat plate into a cylindrical or box-shaped hollow component while ensuring that its wall thickness remains stable . During this change, material is transferred from the smooth surface (the flange) to the sides, causing a significant adjustment in the overall dimensions of the flat surface.
How does deep drawing and stamping work step by step?
Deep draw stamping is a metal forming processthat uses a die and press to pull a sheet metal blank radially into a forming die to create a three-dimensional shape. The following is the step-by-step working process of deep drawing and stamping:
- Material preparation:Choose appropriate metal plates as raw materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper or mild steel, etc. Make sure the material is ductile and plastic enough to accommodate deformation during the drawing process.
- Blanking:Use a shear die or blanking die to cut blanks of the desired shape from the raw material. The purpose of blanking is to obtain the shape and size of the blank required for the deep drawing process.
- Sheet centering and cleaning and oiling:For automatic lines, center the sheet to ensure its accurate position. Clean the sheet to remove surface oil and impurities. Apply oil to reduce the friction between the mold and the material and improve the deep drawing effect.
- Deep drawing:Place the blank into thedrawing mold. The blank is stretched through the male and female molds of the mold to form the required three-dimensional shape. Deep drawing is a key process for stamping cover parts, and most of the shape of the cover parts is formed in the drawing process.
- Shaping:Shaping the parts that do not fully meet the requirements after drawing. The main content of the shaping process is to form the shapes that have not been formed in thedrawing processor to correct some shapes with high matching requirements.
- Trimming and punching:Cut off the process supplementary parts and surrounding corner materials on the drawn parts. Punch out the required mounting holes, reference holes, process holes and other holes on the parts.
- Flanging:Flanging the edges of certain parts to form the desired vertical edge shape. Flanging usually follows the trimming process.

What are the common defects of deep drawing stamping?
Common defects in deep drawing stamping mainly include the following:
1.Crack
This is one of the most common defects in the deep drawing stamping process. It usually occurs in areas where the material is subject to excessive tension or deformation, such as near the punch fillet or the die opening. Rupture may be caused by insufficient material strength, unreasonable mold design, improper stamping process parameters, or poor lubrication.
2.Wrinkling
Wrinkling is caused by uneven tension and pressure on the material during the stamping process, resulting in local material accumulation and instability. Wrinkling usually occurs on flange portions or areas where material flows faster. Wrinkling not only affects the aesthetics of the part, it may also affect its functionality and fitability.
3.Springback
Springback is the shape change of deep-drawn stamped parts due to the elastic recovery of the material after unloading. Springback can cause part dimensions to be inaccurate, shape distortion, or assembly difficulties. The size of springback depends on factors such as the material's elastic modulus, thickness, forming depth, and mold design.
FAQs
1.What is the basic process of deep drawing stamping?
Deep drawing stamping mainly includes: ①Material preparation: Select appropriate metal plates as raw materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, etc. ② Mold installation: Install the mold (including the punch and concave mold) on the press, and adjust the mold gap and blank holder force. ③Material placement: Place the metal sheet on the blank holder of the mold and press it tightly with the blank holder force. ④ Stamping process: Start the press, the punch moves downward, forcing the material under the blank holder to undergo plastic deformation, flow into the gap between the punch and the concave die, and form a cylindrical side wall and other shapes. ⑤ Workpiece removal: After stamping is completed, take out the formed workpiece and perform necessary inspection and trimming.
How does material deformation occur during deep drawing and stamping?
During the deep drawing and stamping process, the deformation of the material mainly occurs in the flange part. When the punch moves downward, the material of the flange part undergoes plastic deformation under the action of radial tensile stress and tangential compressive stress, and continues to shrink and transform into the cylinder wall. This degree of deformation is greatest at the outermost edge of the flange.
What are the common defects in deep drawing stamping?
Common defects during deep drawing and stamping include wrinkles, tears, springback and surface defects. Wrinkling is a bulging phenomenon that occurs because the tangential compressive stress of the flange part exceeds the material's ability to resist instability; tearing is caused by the material being stretched too thin during the drawing process; springback is a metal The phenomenon of trying to return to its original shape after molding; surface defects may result from unwanted contact of the material with other surfaces, resulting in scratches, marks, or blemishes.
How to avoid defects in deep drawing stamping?
Here are some things you can do to avoid defects in deep drawing stamping: Optimize mold design: A well-designed mold can minimize the occurrence of wrinkling and tearing. Proper lubrication: Using the right lubricant can reduce friction, prevent surface defects, and ensure a smoother stretching process. Choose the right material: It is crucial to choose a material that has consistent properties and is suitable for deep drawing stamping. Slow down the drawing speed: Slowing down the drawing speed can help prevent tearing, especially in more malleable metals. Post-processing: Processes such as annealing help reduce the effects of springback and ensure the metal retains its desired shape.
Summary
Deep drawing stamping is an important metal forming process that radially draws the metal sheet blank into the forming die through a series of dies to form complex three-dimensional shapes. Although some challenges and pitfalls may be encountered during the deep drawing process, these problems can be effectively avoided through measures such as optimizing die design, proper lubrication, selecting appropriate materials, and slowing down the drawing speed.
