The last seven columns (June through December 2009) described the different stages of deformation as the material transforms from a blank to the completed stamping. This transformation may be successful or a horrendous failure in terms of stamping shape, thinning or ability to hold water. Different types of deformation are related to specific mechanical properties of the material. Understanding these relationships assist in part design, troubleshooting production problems and transitioning from one alloy to another.
