  • Conclusions

    The limits in ironing of stainless steel and aluminiumalloy drawn cups were effectively improved by using theTiCN-based cermet die.

    The height of ironed stainless steel cups with the TiC-coated WC-Co die was the highest and followed by theTiCN-based cermet die.

    For repeated ironing of the ferritic stainless steelSUS430 and aluminium alloy A3003 cups using theTiCN-based cermet die, the cups were successfullyformed up to 100 and 50 strokes.

  • Conclusions

    1. For the die having lubricant pockets, the sufficientamount of the lubricant and the high ironing speed werethe better condition for reducing friction.

    2. The film thickness of the remaining lubricant with the diehaving lubricant pockets was thicker than that with thepolished die.

    3. In repeated ironing, the surface roughness of ironedcups maintained the same level regardless of thenumber of strikes for the die having lubricant pockets.

  • Conclusions

    1. The ironing limit with the cup sanded in thecircumferential direction was higher than with the cupsanded in the axial direction.

    2. Friction in ironing was reduced by roughening of cupsurface because of the improvement of lubrication.

    3. The thickness of the remaining lubricant on the sidewallof the ironed cup increased as the surface roughness inthe axial direction of the drawn cup increased.

  • Conclusions

    1. Seizure resistance in ironing of the aluminium alloy cupswas improved with the lubricant containing fine SiO2particles having size of 0.01 µm.

    2. For ZrO2 or Al2O3 particles, seizure resistance wasequal to or inferior to the lubricant without fine particles.

    3. Seizure resistance was effectively improved by applyingthe high viscosity lubricant with fine SiO2 particles.
