The flanging process is widely used in stamping production: when collar drawing small holes for threads or to increase the stiffness of a draw piece. It can also replace the operation of deep drawing cylindrical draw pieces with a large flange followed by cutting the bottom. The paper discusses the influence of the shape of the punch and the grade of material on load changes at various collar drawing coefficients. Flat, spherical and conical punches and samples made of EN-AW 1050A aluminium, Cu-ETP copper, CuZn37 brass, S235JRG2 steel, X6Cr17 steel and X5CrNi18-10 steel were used for testing. The relative thickness of test pieces was 0.015 (which corresponded to a thickness of 1 mm and a blank diameter of 66 mm). Various collar drawing factors ranging from 0.32 to 0.54 were adopted in the studies. An analysis of the obtained height of collars and wall thicknesses was carried out. The experimental tests were carried out using special tooling mounted on a testing machine with a 20kN load for 0.5 metrological class. Changes in the force as a function of the displacement of the punches were recorded using Test&Motion software that is commonly applied in research laboratories. Based on the obtained results at various technological parameters, possibility of flanging process was evaluated in industrial conditions
