Abstract

To manufacture micro-drawn cups featuring high CH/CD (cup height/cup diameter ratios) and high quality, a three-stage micro-deep drawing (MDD) system was designed and studied. TA1 pure titanium (Ti) foils with the thickness of 50 μm were annealed at 600–700 °C for 1 h to obtain different grain sizes. Then, the effects of different grain sizes on the deformation behavior of multi-stage MDD and the quality of the formed cups were analyzed. The results show that the as-received pure Ti has a poor formability, suffering a slight fracture problem and significant wrinkling problem of the final drawn cup. At the optimal annealing temperature of 600 °C, the drawn cups show very few wrinkles and a good shape profile. Besides, high CH/CD ratios can be produced for the final drawn cups. Moreover, with the increase in drawing stage, the wrinkling of the cup is significantly reduced due to the "ironing effect" in the multi-stage MDD process. The research can provide a basis for forming high-quality and high CH/CD ratios micro-parts by multi-stage MDD and enrich the knowledge from behavior deformation behavior and product quality assurance.
