与金属板的成形性或深冲性评估相关的问题很复杂，由于涉及的变量很多，可能很难解决。早在1940年，AISI钢板技术委员会就对这个问题进行了审查。第九版ASM和第九版ASM手册提供了更多关于低碳钢材料和板材可成形性的建议。本信息报告的目的是总结在试图预测金属板的成形性时常用的金属板特征。

Problems associated with the evaluation of formability or deep drawability of sheet metals are complex and may be difficult to solve due to the number of variables involved. As long ago as 1940, the AISI Technical Committee on Sheet Steel reviewed this problem. More recently, Volume 1 of the Ninth Edition of the ASM Metals Handbook contains sections on 'Low Carbon Steel and Strip' and 'Formability of Steel Sheet' that provide suggestions to help evaluate parts and select materials. The purpose of this information report is to summarize the sheet metal characteristics that are commonly used when attempting to predict the formability of sheet metal.
