Sheet metal stretching is one of the most frequently applied sheets forming operation in the industry. Hole flanging is a common sheet forming operation to produce structural sheet metal components. Flanges are used for appearance, rigidity, hidden joints, and strengthening of the edge of sheet metal parts. Trial-end-error is the most common approach for tooling and process design in flanging operations. This paper presents some experimental results of hole-flanging process performed on flat deep drawing steel sheets with circular hole drilled or punched in the centre of blank. Three punches of different geometry i.e. cylindrical, hemispherical and conical were used in this experiment. The effect of both the punch geometry and material mechanical parameters (especially strain hardening and plastic anisotropy) on the limit expansion of the hole, limit strain dependence on hole performing technology as well as sheet thickness distribution along collar formed was determined.

Keywords: hole flanging, forming limit, strain hardening, plastic anisotropy, thickness distribution.
