Abstrakt: Most of the sheet metals in general exhibit high an-isotropic plasticity behavior due to the ordered grain orientation that occurred during the rolling process. This results in an uneven deformation yield property that tends to develop ears in case of deep-drawing operation. The deep drawing process is used for the production of cup-shaped articles having applications in automobiles, beverages, home appliances etc. It is essential to know the formability of sheet metals for minimisation of test runs and reducingthe defects. Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) is one of the methods for assessment of formability of sheetmetals. This paper describes various deformation models, yielding and an-isotropic properties and itsdetermination. Through experimental tests, FLD constructed for aluminium alloy AA6111 sheet metalhaving 0.9 mm thickness.
