Effects of Temperature on Deep Drawing of an Aluminum Alloy for Different Yield Criteria and Hardening Models

Abstract

In this study, the influences of temperature variation in deep drawing process are investigatedby changing the temperatures of the whole blank, a part of the blank, the punch and die fordifferent yield criteria and hardening models. Von-Mises criterion with isotropic, kinematic and combinedhardening and, Hill48 and Yld2003 yield criteria with isotropic hardening are considered toform the constitutive relations. Circular, square and complex shaped parts made of AA5754 materialare used in the numerical analyses. The local heating simulations are conducted for circular blanksand the drawability of the parts are evaluated by using the Johnson-Cook failure criteria. Hot formingand quenching and local heating analyses are also carried out for a complex shaped part. The resultsobtained by the finite element analyses for different constitutive equations are compared with eachother and experimental results according to thickness strain distribution, punch force variation andrim shape of the deformed blanks.
