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 />

than austenitics,<br />

which makes them particularly<br />

suitable for drawing.”<br />

Stretch forming<br />

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