Abstract: Due to the increasingly severe energy and environmental problems, the research and development of lightweight vehicles has become a hot topic, and the application of 6000 series aluminum alloys on automobile body panels has received extensive attention. The process of metal flow and microstructure evolution of 6A16 aluminum alloy plate during drawing forming was investigated by simulated and tested, after presaging and storage at room temperature for one month based ABAQUS/Explicit finite element method. The results show that in the process of deep drawing test, the top part become thicker and crease easily. Meanwhile, the integral hardness and thickness of the cup-typed component increases with the increase of the height of the wall. The rounded corners become thinner and crack easily. The grain orientation of 6A16 aluminum alloy is mainly based on Cube orientation, and the ear is produced at four positions in the rolling direction and the vertical rolling direction. As the deep drawing progresses, the Cube oriented grains gradually disappear. In the scope of this experimental study, as the height of the wall decreases, the grain size becomes smaller, the proportion of the large-angle grain boundary increases, and the Mg2Si and Si-rich phases become larger and thicker particularly in rounded corners area.
