Abstract:

In this present work, a statistical approach based on Taguchi techniques and finite element analysis were adopted to determine the influence of temperature, strain rate coefficient of friction and blank holder velocity on the formability of cylindrical cups from 6063 Al alloy using warm deep drawing process. The successful conical cups of 1.5mm blank thickness were obtained with operating conditions of 300oC, 0.1 s-1, strain rate temperature; 0.1, coefficient of friction; and 0.13 mms-1, blank holder velocity.

Keywords:

6063 Al alloy, cylindrical cups, formability, finite element analysis, Taguchi, temperature, strain rate, coefficient of friction, blank holder velocity.
