A new method for drawing cylindrical parts from a flat metal mesh netting with square openings has been proposed, developed and investigated. According to this method, drawing is carried out from a square workpiece, whose sides are parallel to the diagonals of the netting mesh. A new method of drawing parts with flange clamping of a sheet workpiece has been proposed and experimentally tested, which differs in that the workpiece is pre-perforated; perforation of the workpiece is performed only in the flange area, whose inner diameter is equal to the average diameter dc of the cylindrical part obtained; perforation of the workpiece is performed so that the sum  of all jumpers by the width ai on each concentric circle of the location of the perforation holes is equal to the circumference at the average diameter dc of the cylindrical part obtained, i.e. formula is valid. The use of the proposed method, in comparison with the known one, creates such conditions for drawing, under which the limiting drawing ratio becomes significantly lower (< 0,46), which makes it possible to conduct a deeper drawing of parts in one press run. The scientific novelty of this research is as follows. Usually, when manufacturing parts such as caps or box shapes, stamping is used in several runs to avoid the phenomenon of tearing- off of the bottoОдержаноm. However, the use of stamping in several runs leads to a complication of the process equipment and an increase in the cost of the product, which is justified only for cases of obtaining a high-quality product and provided that the integrity of the part is intact at a considerable depth. When trying to draw parts of considerable depth, objective difficulties arise associated with breaking-off of the bottom, which are due to exceeding by the tensile stresses in the critical section of the workpiece (between the bottom and lateral surfaces) of the ultimate tensile strength в of the latter. As part of the research described in this article, a way to overcome those difficulties has been proposed. It is based on the fact that when implementing the stamping process at lower values of the drawing ratio than the critical one, a metal mesh netting or perforated workpiece is used, and tearing-off of the bottom is therefore no longer observed. This method made it possible to obtain an integral shape of the part while using a significant depth of drawing due to the prior perforation of the workpiece, which significantly reduces the cost of the product. That means that the obtained scientific result in the form of a proposed kinetic description of the stamping process compared to the known one creates such drawing conditions, under which the unevenness of the height of the cylindrical portion of the part is significantly reduced, which in turn reduces by 35-40% the cost of stamping cylindrical parts from a flat metal mesh netting with square openings. This result is interesting from a theoretical point of view. As far as the practical point of view is concerned, a mechanism of transition of plastic bending of netting meshes into cold volumetric expanding of its constituent wires has been revealed, which makes it possible to determine the conditions for using the process of manufacturing parts from metal mesh netting or perforated workpieces. Consequently, an applied aspect of using the scientific result obtained is the possibility of improving the typical technological process of stamping, where the stamping force will be significantly reduced and hence the stress in the critical section, which will make it possible to reduce significantly the limiting drawing ratio and increase the depth of stamping. This constitutes prerequisites for the transfer of the obtained technological solutions of the process of drawing from a metal mesh netting or a perforated workpiece.
