Sheet thickness gradients
5.2.8
The greatest sheet thickness when deep-drawing rotationally symmetrical shaped sheet metal parts is on the outer edge of the deep-drawn part.9 It results from the product of the initial sheet thickness s0 and the square root of the drawing ratio β0. With complete flangeless draw, the sheet thickness sa reaches its maximum value smax.

In the case of prismatic drawn parts, a maximum increase in sheet thickness in the drawn part flange of 22% was determined.35
