Abstract
It is well recognized that formability depends on several material properties and process variables. The sheet metal surface roughness and material properties interact with lubricant type, quantity applied, and viscosity in a complex way to change friction. This work was undertaken to determine if the drawbead simulation tester could be used to obtain meaningful information related to the out-of-round (OOR) can production problem. Using the test, the performance of can stock that made OaR cans in production was compared to can stock that performed successfully. The results indicate some necessary can-body stock surface conditions for good production, but these are not necessarily limiting conditions.
