Deep Drawing Calculator
Determine cylindrical cup drawing ratio (β), drawing force, blank holder force, and press tonnage per DIN 8584 and SME stamping standards.
Tooling & Sheet Dimensions
Input blank diameter, punch diameter, gauge, and material
Maximum first draw ratio β (D/d) typically tops out at ~2.00 to 2.10 for killed deep-drawing sheet steel, and ~1.65 to 1.80 for standard aluminum alloys without intermediate annealing.
Drawability & Press Sizing
Sheet Metal Deep Drawing Engineering Principles
Die Radius (rd) Sizing
Die radius should typically be (4 to 8) × sheet thickness. An overly sharp radius creates tensile stress concentrations causing premature tearing; an overly large radius promotes flange wrinkling.
Blank Holder Function
As the outer flange contracts circumferentially into the die, compressive stresses induce buckling (wrinkling). The blank holder suppresses wrinkles; excessive pressure will cause bottom punch blowout.
Anisotropy & Earring
Crystalline sheet orientation (planar anisotropy Δr) causes wavy cup rims (earing). Material grades certified for deep drawing (e.g. DC04, EN 10130) feature controlled plastic strain ratios (r-value > 1.6).
