Bending
• avoiding cracks and rupture
• reduce springback effect
• increase angle of bend
• reduce bend radius
Wire Drawing
Deep Drawing
• drawability
• depth of draw
• finish drawing
• influence material flow
Deep Drawing Tool
• diameter punch 48mm
• isolating layer on blankholder and die
Deep Drawing Dilas
• flat temperature profile
• limited temperature
