New technology for deep drawing can bodies for use in the manufacture of two-piece cans for food and beverage products from precoated flat-rolled sheet metal can stock in which damage to can stock precoated on both surfaces with an organic coating is avoided and draw-forming of the side wall is controlled to decrease metal requirements. A draw die cavity entrance (47, 74) is selected to provide at least a major portion of its curvilinear surface having a radius of curvature of about five times nominal sheet metal thickness gage, or less, e.g. a maximum radius of curvature of 0.04 inch is used for the more commonly used can stock materials. During cup redraw, nesting of curvilinear clamping surfaces (21, 26) of the prior art is eliminated; the compound curvilinear juncture of a work product cup, between its end wall and side wall, is reshaped about a clamping ring compound curvilinear transition zone (72) of smaller surface area than the cup juncture and, the sheet metal is clamped solely between planar clamping surfaces (63, 71) during redraw to a smaller diameter utilizing a male punch (66) with a punch nose (79) having a significantly larger surface area than that of the cavity entrance zone.

In a method of drawing and wall ironing a can body, a blank (1) is cut from a laminate of aluminium or alloy and a polyester film. The blank is lubricated and drawn to a cup (7) having a side wall (8), which is then wall ironed. A terminal margin (14) of the side wall (13) of the wall ironed can is heated to a temperature above 100.degree. C. but below the crystalline melting point of the polyester film in order to prevent delamination of the polyester film from the side wall of the can during subsequent washing of the can. A benefit of the process is that the heating of the side wall margin (14) does not soften the aluminium or aluminium alloy body.

In a process for the production of a draw-ironed can, supposing that at the draw-ironing step, the blank thickness is A, the maximum thickness of the side wall of a cup-shaped body obtained by draw working of the first stage is B and the maximum thickness of the side wall of a cup-shaped body obtained by redraw working of the second stage is C, the increase of thickness B is controlled to up to 20% of thickness A and the increase of thickness C is controlled to up to 30% of thickness A, and supposing that the final thickness of the side wall of the draw-ironed can finally obtained by ironing working is D, the thickness reduction ratio of the side wall of the obtained draw-ironed can satisfies the following requirements:(B-D)/B.times.100.ltoreq.70%,and(C-D)/C.times.100.ltoreq.70%.According to this process, the surface roughness of the final can body is improved, barrel breaking is prevented at the ironing step, and a draw-ironed can having improved necking workability and flanging workability is obtained.

The invention includes apparatus and method for lubricating and cooling a workpiece, dies or ironing rings, and punch at the interface between the workpiece and such dies or ironing rings and punch in forming a workpiece into a hollow closed end cylindrical article.A lubricant liquid phase is injected into a coolant liquid phase to form a "dispersion" prior to application to the metal-tool interface. Providing the lubricant as a dispersion in the coolant liquid phase rather than as an emulsion provides several advantages. The quantity of lubricant and the time of lubricant injection can be varied to control lubricity and, thus, friction. The invention makes it possible to achieve differential friction in the ironing process by having higher lubricity on the ironing die (low friction) and lower lubricity on the punch surface (high friction). Lubricities and cooling are controllable for the specific metal forming process employed to produce closed end hollow body containers. After applicaiton, the lubricant and coolant are separated, the lubricant filtered to remove debris, stored, and then reinjected to provide lubrication for the process.

An individually variable multi-stage drawing apparatus has a succession of drawing stations in a multi-level configuration, each station other than the first being vertically offset from and at a level lower than that of a preceding station. Each station includes a circular die through which a workpiece is forced by a cylindrical plunger. Each plunger is operated by its own individual hydraulic ram. In this way, plunger movement commences at a pressure and continues at a rate governed by the metallic flow requirements of the workpiece at each successive drawing stage.The invention further comprises transfer devices for shifting the workpieces from one drawing stage to the next. These transfer devices grip, carry and release the workpieces without subjecting them to potentially damaging frictional contact.

The invention relates to sheets of aluminium alloy containing magnesium, suitable for producing bodies of cans by drawing and ironing, and a method of obtaining said sheets.The sheets are characterized in that they have, over 10 to 25% of their surface, uniformly distributed particles formed by amorphous aluminium oxides and crystalline magnesium and aluminium oxides, in the form of flat discs less than 5 microns thick and with a mean diameter distributed round a means value from 2 to 15 microns.One of the methods of obtaining said sheets is characterized in that the strip is taken as it comes from the casting machine or after at least one rolling pass and subjected to chemical etching so as to reduce its thickness by a maximum of 2 microns, before being annealed in air at from 330.degree. to 450.degree. C. for at least 30 minutes.The invention can be applied to the production of bodies of cans for fizzy or non-fizzy drinks, from metal sheets which do not stick in the drawing process, using a wide range of alloys.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for measuring the sidewall tension in a workpiece being drawn through a draw die and/or ironing die. A punch is provided which is adapted to measure and continuously monitor the axial load on the punch nose and the total axial load on the punch, the distribution of such loads around the periphery of the punch, and bending of the punch near the base and nose due to lateral and nonuniform forces acting on the punch as the workpiece is forced through a die or dies. Determination of the forces, their distribution, and punch bending enables accurately determining the tensile stress at any portion of the sidewall.
