Abstract The deep drawing process is one of the most complex forming processes, as several problems related to the plastic instability of the material to be deep drawn are notably necking, rupture and tearing. However, the parameters of the deep drawing process can cause these phenomena as well as the geometry of the deep drawn part. Particularly, a material having the formability for such a deep drawing operation remains the desired solution in this process. In this sense, the aim of this work is to investigate a problem of plastic instability of the material through a characterisation and modelling of the anisotropy of DD14 hot-rolled steel sheet intended for deep drawing prismatic cups, using the Hill48 criterion. In addition, FEM analysis of the die radius influence on the occurrence of lateral and corner ruptures on deep drawn parts is carried out in numerical simulation. For this, an 3D simulation of the stamping operation is elaborated by finite element calculation code Abaqus/CAE Explicite®. Following an incremental approach and from the numerical results, the areas most subjected to plastic strain and that represent a high thinning are located. Thus, the degree of influence of the die radius on the evolution of plastic strain is determined. Furthermore, finite element analysis helps us to predict the material behaviour during plastic deformation as a function of this parameter. As a result, the optimum die radius levels which represent the best distribution of plastic strain and improve product quality, are the highest.
