Abstract

With the help of computer simulation in the DEFORM-3D software, there was performed a virtual full factorial experiment of the process of shear drawing. In the course of the experiment, the effect of independent parameters (drawing speed, die rotation rate, die angle and friction factor) on the strain intensity was evaluated. As a result of the experiment, a regression equation was derived and the most significant individual factors and their combinations, influencing the response parameters, were determined. Also, comparative results were presented for the processes of regular drawing and shear drawing. It was demonstrated that the process of shear drawing has a higher efficiency from the point of view of strain intensity.
