Deep drawing is defined as a process for the making of cup - shaped parts from flat sheet - metal blanks. The blank is first heated to provide necessary plasticity for working. The heated blank is then placed in the position over the die or cavity. The punch descends and pushes the metal through the die to form a cup. So this process is also known as cupping.
The process may be continued through a series of successively smaller dies and punches to obtain cup-shaped pieces of the desired size and wall thickness. On many occasions, several dies of successively decreasing diameter is set up on a bench known as hot-draw bench.
Seamless tubing and cylinders made in this way are used primarily for thick walled cylindrical tanks.
