Title: Formability Studies of ASS 316 Under Different Forming Conditions
Abstract: Deep drawing is one of the important sheet metal forming process to produce the complex shaped objects. Application of warm deep drawing is going to be most effective manufacturing process in industries. Present work is aimed to investigate the formability of austenitic stainless steel 316 in warm forming conditions and tried to find the best temperature to deep draw. Limiting drawing ratio and the thickness distribution of the drawn cup are the indicators of material formability in deep drawing. Finite Element analysis has been performed with the commercially available finite element software LS-Dyna at elevated temperatures. The simulations of deep drawing are compared and validated with the experimental data and found a good agreement between them. It is observed that formability of ASS316 increased up to 300 °C, beyond this temperature, formability of this material is decreased. Based on the study, 300 °C is found to be the best temperature to deep draw the ASS316.
