Evaluation Of The Deep Drawing Ability Of A Number Of Alloy Steels And Their Comparison With That Of Cuzn30

Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the deep ductility of a number of steel alloys to compare it with the equivalent ductility of CuZn30, by subjecting identical samples of the respective copper alloy and steel alloys known for their good formability to the Limiting Dome Height Test. To achieve this goal, he worked on designing and producing test kits and samples that were used in the executed laboratory experiments, and in parallel he worked on developing a numerical model that simulates the issue at hand. The results extracted from the experimental and numerical studies carried out indicate that AISI 429 has similar mechanical behavior, when subjected to deep forming forces, to CuZn30, and therefore it is a candidate to be used as a substitute for the latter according to the need.
