Abstract

The formability of sheets of an AISI 304 steel of two thicknesses was evaluated. The formability of the thinner sheet was less than that of the thicker variety in stretch forming and plane strain forming. But the thinner sheet displayed somewhat better formability than the thicker sheet in the deep drawing region. The forming limit curves were drawn using a least squares technique and experimental error limits were determined by taking the standard deviation as the criterion.
