Abstract

Stainless steels are alloy steels with iron as the primary constituent and chromium, nickel, and manganese as principal alloying elements. In addition to automotive, construction, and transportation industries, stainless steels have a variety of applications in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Some common products made from stainless steel are sinks, wash basins, kitchen vessels, and cutlery. Among ferritic stainless steels, type 409 can be cold-formed easily and are used for deep-drawn parts such as vessels for the chemical and food industries. In this study, forming analyses and experiments to prevent the occurrence of inferiority such as wrinkles, crack, and neck for automotive muffler part are carried out to save the optimal conditions during forming by modifying the blank size and shape, blank holding force etc.
