Abstract
The effect of different punches head profile on deep drawing of 5005 H34 Aluminium circular blanks to manufacture a cup-shape product were studied. Experiments were conducted by a 150 ton hydraulic press with using different punches geometry and lubricants viscosity. The drawing force, blank holder pressure, and movement of the punch were measured during experiments to monitor effects of various manufacturing parameters during the drawing process. The surface finish and dimensions of all cups were determined after drawing processes. The geometry of the punch influences the friction force between the blank and punch, and consequently the stretching bottom surface of the cup. The Flat punch geometry produced cups with better surface finish, higher drawing force, and thinner cup wall thickness in comparison to other punches geometry. The Bore punch geometry enhances the stretching of the bottom part of the cup. The presence of lubricant in the process improves the stretching of bottom part of a cup for all punches profile.
