Simulation Analysis of Matrix Cone Angle in Ironing Stretch Technology of Two-piece Can

摘要

Matrix cone angle is an important parameter in the ironing stretch process of two-piece can body. On the base of analyzing the ironing stretch technology, finite element simulation method with ABAQUS software was applied to simulate ironing stretch process of can body, the influence of matrix cone angle on ironing stretch technology was analyzed quantitatively, and then the reasonable range of matrix cone angle was recommended. The result indicated that the best range of matrix cone angle is 6°～9°, which can provide reference for the mould optimization and technology formulation.
