Using 60, 62, 64 and 65mm diameter circle blanks and 33mm diameter punch die, fully annealed Al 1200 sheets of gauge thicknesses 0.6 to 2.0mm were R subjected to deep drawing on an Errichsen cup drawing machine. The results showed that with increase in sheet thickness, the smaller is the draw ratio that would draw the sheet. For 0.6-0.9mm sheet thickness, cups were drawn with draw ratios of 60/33 to 65/33. For sheet thicknesses of 1.2-1.58mm, only 60/33 and 62/33 draw ratios were observe to draw cups. Earing was observed to generally increase with increasing draw ratio using the same sheet thickness. It was also observed that for thinner sheets (0.6-0.9mm), using the same draw ratio, earing increased with increasing sheet thickness. For thicker sheets (1.2-1.58mm) earing was observed to decrease with increasing sheet thickness. After that, there was an increase for deep-drawn 2mm thick sheet. High
