Study on the key process parameters of hydrodynamic deep drawing on the stainless steel single sink with countertop

Stainless steel single sink with countertop (SC) has the characteristics of large depth and asymmetric countertop. Its traditional stamping process is mainly realized by the combination of multi-stage deep drawing and annealing process, which leads to the complex manufacturing process, long production chain and poor consistency of products. Based on finite element analysis software (Dynaform) with nonlinear dynamic display algorithm, numerical simulation analysis and research are carried out on the parameters of hydrodynamic deep drawing. First, the sink and the part of countertop are preformed into a cylinder shell, and then the excess of the cylinder shell is drawn back to the countertop. The research results show that the hydrodynamic deep drawing process can effectively improve the flow uniformity of stainless steel sheet, increase the forming of stainless steel tank, drawing a more uniform wall thickness, thus effectively improve the quality of single tank with countertop by setting up reasonable preform structure, controlling the liquid pressure and its loading paths and blank-holder force.
