Definitions

  • the invention relates to a deep-drawn sheet, band or the like.
  • a deep-drawn sheet of the type mentioned is known from DE-A 30 08 679. Due to the roughening process used, it has an uneven micro-roughness of approximately 0.8 to 5 ⁇ m with finely distributed, mostly slender tips on the surface. The non-uniformity relates to the height and the diameter of the tips or the distance and the outline of the depressions in the surface. In conjunction with the hold-down device, the depressions should be sealed during deep drawing so that the lubricant filling absorbed remains enclosed (see column 3, lines 60 ff.).
  • roller surface is roughened by sandblasting in accordance with the known method according to DE-OS 30 08 679, and the desired micro surface is thus produced by re-rolling the sheet or strip.
  • the depressions for the lubricant are arranged offset from one another, but a closer examination shows that the micro-depressions are interconnected, so that the absorbed lubricant filling can flow off laterally .
  • the object of the present invention is to enable hydrodynamic pressure build-up in the pinch gap between the tool surface and sheet metal roughness peaks in a deep-drawable sheet or a deep-drawable strip of the type mentioned above, and thus to improve the sliding properties in the drawing tool and to reduce the drawing force by at least 30% compared to conventional surfaces .
  • a particularly favorable micro surface for avoiding wrinkles and cracks can be achieved with a honeycomb density of 10 - 250 honeycombs per mm2. In the preferred range of between 100-140 honeycombs per mm2, a particularly high drawing reserve (according to Engelhardt) of at least 28% is established, the honeycomb diameter being 20-200 ⁇ m, preferably 80-100 ⁇ m.
  • the honeycomb diameter corresponds to the diameter of the circle encompassing the honeycomb structure.
  • the micro surface according to the invention in a honeycomb structure is produced by appropriately prepared rolls with a degree of rolling> 6% in the last cold rolling pass.
  • the aluminum sheets or strips produced in this way are suitable for deep drawing, stretching and ironing all types of aluminum alloys.
  • the supporting surface of the honeycomb structure is denoted by 1 and the lubricant filling by 2. It can be seen that the honeycomb structure is designed like a lubricant pocket, in which the lubricant is enclosed on all sides.
  • FIG. 2 shows the micro surface of a sheet metal surface produced by means of a sandblasted roller.
  • the load-bearing roughness tips 3 are surrounded by the lubricant 4, which can flow laterally into channel-like openings. This does not result in a stable build-up of pressure, since the lubricating film is not formed with constant uniformity and tears off at the places subject to higher loads.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross section through the deep-drawable sheet metal 5 produced according to the invention and a hold-down device 6 in the region of the deformation zone. Due to the relative movement between sheet metal and tool, a hydrodynamic pressure is built up in the gap 8 between sheet metal 5 and hold-down device 6. The squeezing flow of the lubricant is indicated by arrows 7.
  • the sheet metal surfaces are given with (1) irregular for DE-OS 30 08 679, (2) honeycomb structure for the sheet treated according to the invention and (3) with finish for a sheet made by means of ground rolls.
  • the second line shows the surface roughness RA according to DIN 4768, measured parallel to the rolling direction, in line three the surface roughness perpendicular to the rolling direction.
  • Line four shows the drawing reserve according to Engelhardt and line five shows the pulling force in kN for the sheet in question.
