Formability Tests
Cup or Radial Drawing:
Rd=(D-d)/D
Where R
d
= drawing ratio,
D = blank diameter,
d = punch diameter

Normal Anisotropy Coefficient:
The anisotropy coefficient is derived from the ratio
of the plastic width strain e
W
to the thickness strain e
t
.In
general, the higher the anisotropy coefficient the better
the material deforms in drawing operations.

Strain-Hardening Coefficient:
The strain hardening coefficient therefore reflects
how well the metal distributes the strain throughout the
sheet, avoiding or delaying localized necking. The higher
the strain hardening coefficient, the move the material
will harden as it is being stretched and the greater will be
the resistance to localized necking. Necks in the metal
harm surface appearance and affect structural integrity.
