3.0 SHEET METAL PROCESSES
3.3.9 DEEP DRAWING
1. Numerous parts made of sheet metal are cylindrical or box shaped, such
as pots and pans, all types of containers for food and beverages,
stainless-steel kitchen sinks, canisters, and automotive fuel tanks.
2. Fig 4.26 shows the metal-forming processes involved in manufacturing a
two-piece aluminum beverage can.
3. The process generally is called deep drawing because of its capability for
producing deep parts.
4. It also is used to make parts that are shallow or have moderate depth and
is one of the most important metalworking processes because of the wide
use of products made.
5. Figure 4.27 shows Illustration of the deep-drawing process on a circular
sheet-metal blank and the process variables in deep drawing.
EXERCISE 3.3
