Abstract
In recent years, the reduction of environmental burden is necessary. In the application of deep drawing, in this research, we explored method for the realization of the reduction of the amount of lubricant used in order to resolve the above issue. Namely, the die was slotted to continuously applied lubricants on the drawn part. Furthermore, the optimization of the amount of lubricant used was also investigated. As a result of this study, it is concluded that the slotted die method is effectively in realizing reduction of the amount of lubricant used in deep drawing process for stainless steel material.
