Abstract:To study the influence of blank holder type on the drawability of 5182-O aluminum sheet at room temperature, the flat blank holder and curved blank holder were employed during the deep drawing process. The microstructures were characterized by optical microscopy (OM). The results reveal that the limiting drawing ratio (LDR) of 5182-O aluminum alloy sheet is 1.7 using the flat blank holder. The drawn cup have severe earring. Compared with using flat blank holder, the LDR of 5182-O aluminum alloy sheet is enhanced to 2.0 using curved blank holder. In addition, the earring ratio also reduces and flange wrinkling is prevented when the curved blank holder is used. These are due to a more uniform sheet flow in different directions with curved blank holder.
Key words: 5182-O aluminum alloy; deep drawing; blank holder; earring; wrinkling
