the limited drawing ratio (ldr) is an important deep-<br />
drawability parameter.<br />
limited drawing ratio (ldr) refers to the quotient of the<br />
maximum blank diameter (d) that can be deep drawn into<br />
a cylinder in one step and the diameter of that cylinder.<br />
ldr = d/d.<br />

which makes them particularly<br />

Stretch forming<br />
in stretch-forming, the drawn area becomes thinner.<br />

of various grades “dome height” refers to the maximum<br />
degree of deformation before “necking” (the phase just<br />
before failure) of a blank undergoing stretching.<br />
