There are requirements for materials Deep drawing stamping usually uses metal materials with good ductility and plasticity, such as mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. There are certain requirements for the selection and pretreatment of materials.

How does deep drawing stamping work step by step?

Theprocess of deep drawing and stampingusually consists of a series of orderly steps designed to draw the flat sheet material through the die into the desired three-dimensional shape. The following is the generalprocess flow of deep drawing stamping:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Flanging:Flanging the edges of certain parts to form the desired vertical edge shape. Flanging usually follows the trimming process.

Deep Drawn Metal Stampings

What are the applications of deep drawing stamping?

The mainapplications of deep drawing stampinginclude:

1.Aerospace industry:

Aircraft casings, engine components and other critical components are often produced using deep drawing methodsbecause of their precision and durability. For example, lightweight and high-strength materials such as aluminum-lithium alloy are used to manufacture aircraft wall panels, vertical tails and other components through deep drawing and stamping.

2.Medical industry:

Surgical instruments,medical device housings, implantable components, as well as syringes, insulin delivery devices, pacemakers and more often rely on deep drawing technology.

Deep Drawn Stamping Designs

What are the challenges of deep drawing stamping?

Thechallenges of deep pull and stampingmainly include the following aspects:

  1. Material wrinkling:in the process of deep pulling, the material is affected by the tensile force. If the pressure edge force is not enough or the mold design is improper, it is easy to cause the material to wrinkle at the edge or some areas, affecting the quality and beauty of the parts.
  2. Material rupture:because the material is subjected to large stress during the stretching process, if the material strength is insufficient or the corner radius of the mold is too small, the material may rupture during the stretching process, resulting in an increase in scrap rate.
  3. Recovery problem:after unloading the mold for the deep-pulled parts, due to the elastic recovery of the material, the rebound phenomenon may occur, leading to the inaccurate size of the parts, and affecting the assembly and use.
  4. Difficulty of mold design and manufacturing:deep drawing stamping has high requirements on the design accuracy and manufacturing quality of the mold. The design of the mold needs to fully consider the fluidity and formability of the material. At the same time, the accuracy and wear resistance of the mold should be guaranteed in the manufacturing process, which increases the difficulty and cost of the mold design and manufacturing.
  5. Material selection and adaptability:the forming properties of different materials vary greatly, and the deep tensile stamping has high requirements on the plasticity, ductility and strength of materials. Choosing the suitable material and optimizing its shaping properties is an important challenge for deep tensile stamping.
  6. Process parameter control:the pressure side force, tensile speed, mold temperature and other process parameters should be strictly controlled to ensure the quality and forming efficiency of the parts. The precise control of these parameters requires highly the skill and experience of the operator.
