Deep Drawing Stainless Steel Sheet

Rather uniform material thickness can be achieved in stainless steel shapes.

Deep drawing stainless steel sheet.

It is thus a shape transformation process with material retention. Can create deep parts while avoiding welds. Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process in which a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch. As a result of the tension generated in the material during the deep drawing annealing is often required.

The flange region experiences a radial drawing stress and a tangential compressive stress due to the material retention pro. Stainless steel and not rust free as often indicated is one of the hardest materials for deep drawing. This is achieved by redrawing the part through a series of dies. Tooling material must be of sufficient hardness with a highly polished surface finish.

Frequently a 100 percent increase compared to plain carbon steel of the same thickness is required. The process is considered deep drawing when the depth of the drawn part exceeds its diameter. Benefits of deep drawing with stainless steel. Deep drawing stainless steel due to the rapid workhardening rates of stainless steels more press power and press energy is required.

Deep drawing is a manufacturing process that is used extensively in the forming of sheet metal into cup or box like structures. Because of its extensive experience with this material geerts is unrivalled in its ability to manufacture excellent products. Deep drawing stainless steel stainless steels are frequently deep drawn into difficult shapes often without intermediate annealing. This process is sometimes called drawing and is not to be confused with the bulk deformation process of drawing discussed earlier.

Monolithic parts can be formed from a single piece of sheet or plate material. Lower cycle times per piece than metal spinning and welding operations.
