An optimization technique for combined processes of deep-drawing and ironing has been created in order to improve the total\nprocess time and cost in manufacturing procedures of axisymmetric components. The initial solution is optimized by means of an\nalgorithm that minimizes the total time of the global process, based on relationship between lengths, diameters, and velocities of\neach stage of a multistage process and subject to constraints related to the drawing ratio.The enhanced solution offers a significant\nreduction in time and cost of the global process. The final results, applied to three cases, are compared with experimental results,\nshowing the accuracy of the complete solution.
