Some factors are influencing formability are: material homogenity and cleanliness, chemical composition, deformation rate, temperature.
measure of the capability of sheet metal to be deformed into a desired shape. Desired shape should have no splits, wrinkles, excess thinning and should retain desired shape repeatably. Measures of formability are obtained using FEA analysis and Circle Grid analysis and the forming limit diagram.increasing the wall angle of the design improved the formability of the part by decreasing the strain in the wallA higher tensile grade steel would decrease the formability of your design requiring a product changeusing more lubrication was not a desirable way to improve the formability since it made the manufacturing operation too costlyShould not be confused with Ductility, since metals with high ductility may show highly non-uniform thinning tendencies which is not desirable in a formed part.

This sheet is typically alloy 3104-H19 or 3004-H19, which is aluminum with about 1% manganese and 1% magnesium to give it strength and formability.

Soda cans are typically made from aluminum alloy 3004, which is a combination of aluminum, manganese, and magnesium. This alloy is chosen for its combination of strength, formability, and corrosion resistance.

The main solute in nickel silver is copper, which is mixed with nickel and zinc to create the alloy. Copper is added to improve strength and corrosion resistance, while nickel provides a silvery color and zinc helps with formability and malleability.
Advantages of ferrous metals include their high strength, durability, and magnetic properties. However, disadvantages may include susceptibility to corrosion, heavier weight compared to non-ferrous metals, and limited formability.

The ferrous metal commonly used to make car bodies is steel. Steel is chosen for its strength, durability, and formability, making it ideal for providing structure and protection in automotive applications.
Aluminum is usually combined with other elements, such as copper, silicon, magnesium, and zinc, to form various aluminum alloys. These alloys provide enhanced properties like increased strength, corrosion resistance, and improved formability compared to pure aluminum.
