Deep Drawing

Deep Drawing is a type of Drawing process where the depth of the part is more than half its diameter. Deep drawing is used for making automotive fuel tanks, kitchen sinks, 2 piece aluminum cans, etc. Deep drawing is generally done in multiple steps called draw reductions. The greater the depth, the increased number of reductions required. Deep drawing may also be accomplished with fewer reductions by heating the workpiece, used in sink manufacture for example.In many cases, special material that has been rolled at the steel mill in both directions can aid in the deep drawing process. Material that has been rolled in both directions has a more uniform grain structure and is referred to as "draw quality" material. Draw quality material will often improve deep drawing (limiting tearing).
