In this paper, simulations of deep drawing tests at elevated temperatures were carried out with experimental validation. The aim of this work was to study the effect of process parameters on formability and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 7075 in hot stamping process.Process parameters, including blank temperature, stamping speed, blank holder force and friction coefficient, were studied. Stamping tests were conducted at temperatures between 350 and 500 ℃, blank holder force between 0 and 10 kN, stamping speed between 50 and 150 mm·s^-1, and friction coefficient between 0.1 and 0.3. Based on the analysis, it is shown that thickness homogeneity could be improved when the blank is formed at lower temperature,lower blank holder force and lower friction coefficient.Formability could be improved when the blank was well lubricated at about 400 ℃. Formability at stamping speed 50 mm·s^-1 is far better than those at other speeds. The mechanical property analysis shows that the hot stamping process could make the formed part to obtain high quality.

Austenitic stainless steel 304 was deep drawn with different blank diameters under warm conditions using 20 t hydraulic press. A number of deep drawing experiments both at room temperature and at 150 °C were conducted to study the metallography. Also, tensile test experiments were conducted on a universal testing machine up to 700 °C and the broken specimens were used to study the fractography of the material using scanning electron microscopy in various regions. The microstructure changes were observed at limiting draw ratio (LDR) when the cup is drawn at different temperatures. In austenitic stainless steel, martensite formation takes place that is not only affected by temperature, but also influenced by the rate at which the material is deformed. In austenitic stainless steel 304, dynamic strain regime appears above 300 °C and it decreases the formability of material due to brittle fracture as studied in its fractography. From the metallographic studies, the maximum LDR of the material is observed at 150 °C before dynamic strain regime. It is also observed that at 150 °C, grains are coarse in the drawn cups at LDR.

The deep drawing of titanium thin-walled surface part was simulated based on a self-developed three-dimensional finite element model. After an investigation on forming rules, a virtual orthogonal experimental design was adopted to determine the significance of processing parameters, such as die radius, blank holder force, and friction coefficient, on the forming process. The distributions of thickness and equivalent plastic strain of the drawn part were evaluated. The results show that die radius has a relative major influence on the deep drawing process, followed by friction coefficient and blank holder force.

In order to overcome the limitation of hydro-rim deep drawing, a new process of hydrodynamic deep drawing （HDD） with independent radial hydraulic pressure was proposed. By employing the dynamic explicit analytical software ETA/DynaformS.5 which is based on LS-DYNA3D, the effects of independent radia! hydraulic pressure on the stress, strain and the sheet-thickness of aluminum-magnesium cylindrical cup with a hemispherical bottom were analyzed by numerical simulation. The feature of stress distribution is that there exists a stress-dividing circle in the flange, and the radius of dividing circle was determined by theoretical analysis and stimulation. The experimental results indicate that the reasonable match of independent radial hydraulic pressure and liquid chamber pressure can effectively reduce the thinning at the bottom of hemisphere, decrease the radial stress-strain, and improve the drawing limit of aiuminum-magnesium alloy cylindrical cup.
