Abstract
The prediction of tool wear in conventional deep-drawing is accomplish ed using the finite-element method. The distribution of tool wear on t he draw-die profile is obtained and compared to industrial observation s. This is achieved by proposing a semi-empirical wear model in which the tool wear is a function of both the normal pressure and the relati ve velocity between the sheet and the tooling. Furthermore, a paramete r study has been carried out to see the effect on the tool wear when c hanging selected parameters, for example the blank thickness and the s train hardening.
