Friction aided deep drawing based on the Maslennikov process is investigated as a method to facilitate the deep drawing of sheet metals with poor drawability. Aluminium foils and thin sheets of 0.1-0.4 nun in thickness are used as a model for the material with poor drawability. An auxiliary metal pu...
