Dieless drawing is an example of flexible metal forming processes. The
investigation of the main process parameters and their interdependenc
e is the prerequisite for the deliberate choice of input parameters to
get the desired quality of the workpiece. Drawing force, drawing velo
city, and temperature are the main control parameters. But only the te
mperature can be influenced locally whereas the force and the velocity
can be adjusted only globally. Because of this special importance of
the temperature analytical and numerical models for the temperature di
stribution along the deformation zone have been developed.
