Deep drawing, hole expansion tests and bending tests can be performed on a LVD 100 t hydraulic press:

• Deep drawing test results are presented as the LDR ratio, blankholder force and deep drawing curve.
• Hole expansion tests are performed according to the ISO TC 164/SCN 2N 317 standard with a 60° conical punch and a test speed < 1mm/s. The test result is presented as a hole expansion value in %.
• Bending tests are performed in either 90° V-bending or U-bending modus. V-bending can be done with punch radii of 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12mm and U-bending with a 100mm wide punch having either 3 or 6mm radius.
