Deep drawing of sheets is a process that combine high deformation rate with stabilization of mechanical properties and surface quality of the finished product.
Naturally, it is impossible to reach by conventional deep drawing process the same geometries as by superplastic deformation, especially in thin panels. On the other hand if a part can be deep drawn it is possible to perfectly keep the sheet properties and to run a relatively fast process.
In AMTS we also deal with development of processes that combine between both deep drawing and superplastic forming.

Development of deep drawing process with magnesium sheets (see here) has lead AMTS to some successful processes with quite extreme parameters. It is recommended to be strict with several parameters in complex processes, especially at elevated temperatures. Simulation alone cannot foresee local problems related to the material condition. Therefore trial and error is the name of the game.
One of the most big secrets of the experts is the ability to understand the influence of material condition on the behavior of the deep drawing process.
