The master's thesis addresses deep drawing followed by ironing of the aluminum alloy AW5754. It is the ironing process in particular that plays a key role in the production of thin-walled metal products. The focus was on identifying the influence of various parameters on the final product, such as sheet thickness, friction, tool geometry, drawing ratio, and material properties. The Taguchi method of experimental design with orthogonal arrays was used to enable efficient data acquisition and reduction of the number of experiments. Numerical simulations of the process were carried out using Abaqus, and the results were analyzed using ANOVA. The final product thickness was most influenced by the drawing ratio, material coefficient, and strain hardening exponent, while the drawing ratio had the greatest effect on punch force. The results contribute to a better understanding of the influence of material and technological parameters on the final properties of sheet metal products.
