- the metal length from the inflection point IP to the outermost end 201e in FIG. 5(f) is shortened to 0.85 to 0.99 times the metal length from the point T to the end portion Se in FIG. 5(b) .
- the thickness of the raw metal material of the part is increased in the second molding step such that the part most increased in thickness is increased to 1.1 to 1.3 times the raw sheet thickness (t0) .
- a drawn and ironed can (DI can) with an internal volume of 350 mL was manufactured by the following method.
- an aluminum alloy sheet (JIS H 4000 A3104-H19 material, 0.28 mm) was prepared as a raw sheet.
- a predetermined amount of a known cupping oil was applied to both sides of the aluminum alloy sheet, as a lubricant at the time of drawing.
- the resultant sheet was drawn to be a drawn cup (not illustrated) with a diameter of 90 mm.
- the drawn cup thus obtained was conveyed to a body maker (can body manufacturing machine) and was re-drawn into a shape with a diameter of 66 mm. Then, by using a coolant, the drawn cup was subjected to ironing to obtain a drawn and ironed precursor 3 with a shape of 66 mm in diameter, 130 mm in height, and 0.105 mm in side wall minimum thickness.
- the precursor 3 obtained as above was subjected to the first molding step and the second molding step as follows.
- the first molding step was conducted at the stroke final stage of the step subsequent to the ironing by the body maker, and a cup body 2 having a cup outer circumferential bottom section A and an inclined section S was obtained by use of the punch 401, the hold down ring 501, and the doming die 502 depicted in FIG. 4 .
- the lengths and sheet thicknesses of the cup outer circumferential bottom section A and the inclined section S in this instance are as set forth in Table 1.
- the sheet thicknesses t1 to t5 of the respective parts were measured. Note that the position of each of the parts at t1 to t5 is as described in the above embodiment and FIG. 2 .
- the method of measuring the sheet thickness is as follows. Specifically, the molded seamless can body 1A was embedded in an epoxy resin and was then cut together with the epoxy resin along a longitudinal axis (Z axis) of the seamless can body 1A. After a central section was exposed by cutting and careful polishing, the thicknesses t1 to t5 of the respective parts were measured with a measuring microscope. The sheet thicknesses of the parts are set forth in Table 1.
- the molding of the can bottom was conducted in one step according to a known can bottom molding method by use of a known can bottom molding mold. Except this, the operation of a comparative example 1 was conducted similarly to the example 1.
- FIG. 7 a partial enlarged view of the can bottom of the seamless can body used in the comparative example 1 is depicted in FIG. 7 .
- the seamless can body obtained in the comparative example 1 was subjected to bottom reforming. Specifically, an inner circumferential wall of the grounding section of the can bottom that was located inside in a radial direction orthogonal to the can body axis was pressed by a rotating roller, to mold a recess in an annular shape. Except this, the operation of a comparative example 2 was conducted similarly to the comparative example 1.
- the sheet thicknesses and the like of the parts of the seamless can body thus obtained are set forth in Table 1.
- the surface condition of the molded can body section has not been aligned in the axial direction, and high metallic luster could not be obtained particularly in the vicinity of the lower end of the can body section or at a reduced diameter part (outer circumferential bottom section) provided between the can body section and the can bottom section.
- FIG. 14(a) schematically illustrate a partial state of a can body section and a tip end part of an ironing punch immediately after completion of ironing.
- a cylindrical section of the punch has, near the tip end thereof, a tapered shape ranging from a point A to a point B.
- This tapered shape is provided for ensuring gradual rising of the ironing ratio at the time of starting ironing. Therefore, the can body part corresponding to the tapered part is a region having a wedge-shaped sheet thickness distribution. Note that, as depicted in FIG.
- this region may also be referred to as a "body wall step (BWS)."
- BWS body wall step
- BWR body wall radius
- the glossiness of the ironed surface at the point B located at the lower end of the BWS is substantially comparable to the glossiness of the original raw material surface, the glossiness of the ironed surface increases toward the point A located at the upper end of the BWS, and a maximum glossiness is exhibited at and beyond the point A.
- FIG. 14(b) is a diagram depicting a partial state of the can body section and the tip end part of the ironing punch at the time point when the dome section is formed in the can bottom by relatively moving the doming die into the inside of the tip end of the ironing punch after completion of ironing.
- a bottom surface part of the can bottom is drawn into the inside to become a dome section, so that a part located at the point A in FIG. 14(a) is deviated to the point A', and a part located at the point B is deviated to a point B'.
- the moving amount (deviation amount) of each of these points is, for example, approximately 2 to 5 mm.
- a seamless can body 1B is a seamless can body that includes a tubular body section 10 and a can bottom section 20 including at least an outer circumferential bottom section 20a extending from a lower end of the tubular body section 10 through a boundary part BP such as to decrease in diameter toward the inside.
- a part on the upper side beyond the tubular body section 10 in FIG. 8 has a neck flange shape as an example, the structure of a known seamless can body having an opening 10a is also applicable to the part on the upper side beyond the tubular body section 10.
- the lower end 10e of the tubular body section 10 can be defined as a part which is located substantially at the lower end of the cylindrical surface and as a lower end of a region in which curved surface printing can be performed by, for example, a known dry offset system in the case where printing is applied to the outer surface of the seamless can body.
- the tubular body section 10 is a part constituting a side surface of the seamless can body 1B and is formed by drawing and ironing a known metal sheet of aluminum, steel, or the like which will be described later.
- the tubular body section 10 has an appropriate thickness depending on the use and has, for example, a thickness of approximately 0.07 to 0.40 mm.
- the tubular body section 10 is provided between the lower end 10e, which is described later, as a lower end part and the boundary with a neck shoulder (the part decreased in diameter toward the upper side in the axial direction) as an upper end part, as depicted in FIG. 8 .
- the can bottom section 20 includes at least the outer circumferential bottom section 20a extending from the abovementioned lower end 10e of the tubular body section 10 such as to decrease in diameter toward the inside, as depicted in FIG. 8 , and a bulging section 20b bulging from the outer circumferential bottom section 20a toward the opening 10a.
- the outer circumferential bottom section 20a and the bulging section 20b in the present embodiment are defined as different sections with an annular grounding section 20c as a boundary.
- the annular grounding section 20c is a part that, when the seamless can body 1B is mounted on a flat surface such as a table, grounds on the surface. Therefore, the outer circumferential bottom section 20a, the annular grounding section 20c, and the bulging section 20b in the present embodiment can be said to correspond to the foot part 202 and the can bottom central part 201 in the first embodiment described above. In this instance, particularly the annular grounding section 20c in the present embodiment corresponds to the annular grounding section 202b in the first embodiment.
- the boundary part BP in the present embodiment can be defined as a boundary with a region concerning the external appearance on the can bottom side (that is, a region which can normally be observed from the outside of the can), defined as a part extending from the lower end 10e of the tubular body section 10 to the outer circumferential bottom section 20a through inflection as depicted in FIG. 17 , and defined as a point where the angle ⁇ formed between a tangential line of the outer surface at the boundary part BP and a grounding surface P is 45°.
- the reason why the point where the angle ⁇ is 45° is defined as the boundary part BP in the present embodiment is as follows. Specifically, at a position where the ⁇ is less than 45°, the normal line to the outer surface directs excessively downward. Then, for example, in a state in which the can to which the present invention is applied is placed normally (upright) on a showcase or the like, the reflected light is less likely to enter the visual field, and therefore, it is difficult to exhibit the excellent luster property of the can outer surface which is the gist of the present invention.
- a part on the lower end side of the tubular body section 10 including the lower end 10e of the tubular body section 10 having undergone ironing is drawn into the side of the outer circumferential bottom section 20a, and therefore, a part of the outer circumferential bottom section 20a beyond the boundary part BP and at least in the vicinity of the boundary part BP includes a metal sheet having undergone ironing.
- the sheet thickness t0 at at least the boundary part BP is substantially equal to the sheet thickness twc (see FIG. 8 ) at an intermediate part of the tubular body section 10.
- the tubular body section 10 of the present embodiment has a high glossiness and can exhibit uniform image clarity from the upper end to the lower end in regard of the axial direction (Z direction in FIG. 8 ) and further up to the position of the boundary part BP, as compared to the conventional structure.
- the ironing ratio required for the ironed tubular body section 10 to exhibit a high glossiness varies depending on the characteristics of the raw material and processing conditions; as a non-limitative example, a total ironing ratio is preferably at least equal to or more than 60%.
- the relation of t WC ⁇ t WL ⁇ 1.09 ⁇ t WC is satisfied, and more preferably the relation of t WC ⁇ t WL ⁇ 1.05 ⁇ t WC is satisfied, in the case where t WL is the sheet thickness in the vicinity of the boundary part BP of the tubular body section 10 (for example, the lower end of the tubular body section 10) and where twc is the sheet thickness of an intermediate part of the tubular body section 10 in the axial direction (Z direction), as depicted in FIG. 8 .
- the intermediate part of the tubular body section 10 in the axial direction in the present embodiment may not necessarily be strictly the sheet thickness at a midpoint in the axial direction and can be defined as inclusive of the vicinity of the midpoint.
- twc is the sheet thickness at an intermediate part of the tubular body section 10 in the axial direction as depicted in FIG. 8 . If t0 is less than twc, there is a possibility that axial load strength at this part may be lowered, and if t0 is equal to or more than 1.09 times twc, the glossiness at a lower end part of the tubular body section is lowered, and thus, it becomes difficult to obtain the effects of the present invention.
- the ironed metal sheet extends beyond the boundary part BP to reach at least a part of the outer circumferential bottom section 20a, it is desirable that the 60 degrees specular glossiness from the lower end 10e of the tubular body section 10 to the vicinity of the boundary part BP is equal to or more than 300%. If the 60 degrees specular glossiness in the vicinity of the boundary part BP is less than 300%, surface roughness, dullness, or the like is noticeable on an external appearance basis at the relevant part, and therefore, appeal as a product is lowered.
- specular glossiness in the present embodiment is measured according to the measuring method defined in JIS Z 8741-1997.
- the kind of the raw metal material used for the seamless can body 1B is not particularly limited.
- known metal sheets ordinarily used for seamless can bodies such as an aluminum alloy sheet or a steel sheet (for example, tinplate or the like), can be used.
- the metal sheet may have a known film laminated on the inner surface side thereof or may be subjected to surface-treatment such as organic resin coating or chemical conversion treatment, as required.
- the seamless can body 1B has a lid attached to the opening 10a by a known method after the seamless can body 1B is subjected to, for example, known flange processing, necking, screw processing, or the like, and beer, a carbonated drink, coffee, juice, liquid food, or the like is accommodated in the seamless can body 1B.
- the method of manufacturing the seamless can body 1B according to the present embodiment is a method of manufacturing a seamless can body having the tubular body section 10 and the can bottom section 20 depicted in FIG. 8 and is characterized by including a first molding step and a second molding step which will be described in detail below.
- a raw metal material (precursor 3) is molded into a cup body 2 including the tubular body section 10, an inclined section S extending upward toward the inside from a boundary part BP provided at the lower end of the tubular body section 10, and a cup dome section D bulging upward from an end portion Se of the inclined section S at a first height Ho.
- the end portion Se of the inclined section S can be said to be a connection point with the cup dome section D.
- the first molding step of the present embodiment is performed, by use of an upper mold and a lower mold, on a precursor 3 including the tubular body section 10 thinned through ironing and molded by a known pressing step or the like.
- the first molding step of the present embodiment can be conducted at a final end position (the vicinity of a bottom dead center) of a punch stroke of a molding machine for ironing or can be performed in a machine different from the machine used for ironing.
- the first molding step is carried out by a tubular punch 401 that is located in the precursor 3 having a cup shape and supports the precursor 3, and a doming die 502 that supports an outer circumferential bottom section of the precursor 3 by cooperating with the punch 401.
- a lower end of the punch 401 is recessed toward the upper side so as to correspond to the doming die 502, and a circumferential wall part 402 is formed along the circumferential direction.
- this shape is not limitative.
- a combined shape of a plurality of arcs and tapered surfaces as depicted in FIG. 15 or FIG. 16 may be adopted.
- the precursor 3 when the precursor 3 is pressed such as to be interposed between the punch 401 and the doming die 502, a bottom surface of the precursor 3 bulges toward the opening by the doming die 502, and a lower end circumferential edge comes into a state of being pulled by the circumferential wall part 402.
- the outer circumference of the precursor 3 is supported by the circumferential wall part 402 of the punch 401, and the punch 401 and the doming die 502 are driven such as to engage with each other, so that the cup body 2 having the cup dome section D with a first height Ho at the bottom thereof can be obtained.
- a wrinkle pressing member 80 (also referred to as a hold down ring) exemplified in FIG. 16 may be disposed if necessary, and the molding may be conducted by applying a wrinkle pressing force by the circumferential wall part 402 and the wrinkle pressing member 80.
- the first height Ho of the cup dome section is higher than the dome height in the conventional structure, and therefore, the amount by which the tubular body section 10 is drawn into the side of the outer circumferential bottom section 20a is also increased in association with the first height Ho.
- the site originally constituting the lower end of the tubular body section 10 at the time of ironing is drawn into the side of the outer circumferential bottom section 20a beyond the boundary part BP provided between the tubular body section 10 and the outer circumferential bottom section 20a (more specifically, the point A and the point B located in the tubular body section in the example depicted in FIG. 11 are drawn into the side beyond the boundary part BP).
- the lower end 10e of the tubular body section 10 is drawn to form a part of the outer circumferential bottom section 20a extending from the lower end 10e of the tubular body section 10 such as to decrease in diameter (substantially the part is still in the state of a curved surface in the vicinity of the boundary part BP and is referred to as a first outer circumferential bottom section 20a').
- the inclined section S of the cup body 2 extends upward toward the inside from the first outer circumferential bottom section 20a'.
- the inclined section S of the cup body 2 includes a curved line part and a straight line part interposed between the lower most part of the cup body 2 in the Z-axis direction and the connection point (end portion Se) with the cup dome section D.
- the cup body 2 of the present embodiment includes the tubular body section 10 and the bulging section formed at a bottom surface of the tubular body section 10.
- the shape of the cup dome section D is an example, and the top of the dome may have, for example, a horizontal surface shape instead of a curved surface shape.
- the first height Ho of the cup dome section D of the cup body 2 is preferably greater than a second height Hp of the can dome section 201d in the seamless can body 1B obtained in the second molding step.
- a compressive stress to the inclined section S while the cup dome section D of the cup body 2 is pressed down in the second molding step described later.
- the first height Ho of the cup dome section D of the cup body 2 is preliminarily set to be large to finally obtain a favorable second height Hp of the can dome section 201d of the seamless can body 1B.
- the bulging section bulging at the first height Ho is first formed such as to extend from the first outer circumferential bottom section 20a' in the vicinity of the boundary part BP toward the opening 10a. Then, in the second molding section described later, the bulging section is pressed down such as to have a second height lower than the first height Ho.
- the second molding step is conducted as follows.
- a known cleaning step, surface-treatment step, printing step, coating step, or shaping step for the tubular body section, or necking-in (squeezing) in such a range as not to hamper the second molding step may be carried out on the cup body 2, as required, between the first molding step and the second molding step.
- an outer surface coating can be applied to the part ranging from the grounding section at the lowermost end of the cup body 2 to the inclined section S.
- processing is performed on the cup body 2 by using a mold different from a mold used in the abovementioned first molding step, to mold the seamless can body 1B.
- a pressing force is applied to the cup dome section D of the cup body 2 in the can outside direction (-Z axis direction) by use of the upper molding member.
- the vicinity of the boundary part BP of the cup body 2 is mounted on a cup outer circumferential side holder 60.
- a dome pressing-down tool 70 is relatively lowered, so that a support section 701 of the dome pressing-down tool 70 is brought into contact with the cup dome section D, as depicted in FIG. 12(b) .
- the shape of the support section 701 is substantially coincident with the shape of the cup dome section D in FIG. 12
- the shape may not necessarily be coincident.
- a difference in curvature may be provided such that a high pressure is exerted on an outer circumferential part of the cup dome section D.
- the cup outer circumferential side holder 60 has a tapered surface 601 and a groove 602. After the boundary part BP and the first outer circumferential bottom section 20a' of the cup body 2 make contact with the tapered surface 601, the dome pressing-down tool 70 is further lowered. In such a manner, as depicted in FIG. 12(c) , the metal of the inclined section S of the cup body 2 is molded such as to follow the tapered surface 601 while receiving a compressive stress.
- the dome pressing-down tool 70 is further pressed down, so that the remaining part (a part of the metal other than the part corresponding to the tapered surface 601) of the inclined section S of the cup body 2 is guided into the groove 602.
- the cup dome section D is pressed down such as to have a second height Hp lower than the first height Ho.
- a compressive stress ⁇ ⁇ in the meridian direction and a compressive stress ⁇ ⁇ in the circumferential direction are applied to the inclined section S by use of the upper molding member (dome pressing-down tool) and the lower molding member (cup outer circumferential side holder). (see FIG. 6 )
- the metal corresponding to the tapered surface 601 of the cup body 2 constitutes the outer circumferential bottom section 20a, and the metal guided into the groove 602 constitutes the abovementioned annular grounding section 20c. Further, the part on the upper side from the annular grounding section 20c constitutes the bulging section 20b. (see FIG. 12(e) )
- the can bottom section 20 of the seamless can body 1B is obtained through the second molding step.
- the seamless can body 1B molded by the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment described above has the tubular body section 10 serving as the can side surface and having a substantially uniform surface condition from the upper end to the lower end in the axial direction, and can thus exhibit excellent appearance and image clarity.
- the second embodiment described above can be said to be substantially common with the first embodiment except for the can bottom section (mainly the shape of the dome section at the can bottom). Therefore, it is needless to say that the technical thought concerning the relation of the sheet thicknesses in the present embodiment and the technical thought concerning the metallic luster at the can body section and can bottom section are also applicable to the first embodiment similarly to the second embodiment, unless contradiction is generated.
- the seamless can body 1B molded by the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment by incorporating therein the characteristics of the abovementioned first embodiment (the inside end section 202c, the rising section 202d, the outermost end 201e, and the can dome section 201d), can further exhibit effects similar to those of the first embodiment.

- the seamless can body according to the present invention can have both the characteristics of the first embodiment and the second embodiment mentioned above, the tubular body section 10 serving as the can side surface has a substantially uniform surface condition from the upper end to the lower end in the axial direction thereof and exhibits excellent appearance and image clarity, and simultaneously, excellent pressure resistance can be secured at the can bottom section.
- the seamless can body 1B described in the second embodiment is advantageous over the conventional structure at least in glossiness.
- FIG. 14(a) depicts, on an extraction basis, the structure in the vicinity of the lower end of the can body section of a seamless can body obtained immediately after ironing is performed by a conventional manufacturing method
- FIG. 14(b) depicts, on an extraction basis, the structure in the vicinity of the lower end of the can body section obtained after doming is further performed

- FIG. 14(a) illustrating the conventional technique ironing is first started at the point B with an ironing ratio of 0, the ironing ratio then increases toward the point A, and the ironing ratio reaches the maximum at and beyond the point A. Therefore, regarding the glossiness of the ironed surface of the can body section, for example, the glossiness at the point B is substantially comparable to the glossiness of the original raw sheet surface, the glossiness increases toward the point A, and a maximum glossiness is exhibited at and beyond the point A.
- FIG. 14(b) depicts that the doming die is relatively moved toward the inside of the tip end of the ironing punch after completion of ironing, resulting in a state in which the dome section is formed at the can bottom section.

- the ironed metal sheet extends beyond the boundary part BP to reach at least a part of the outer circumferential bottom section, so that the glossiness in the vicinity of the boundary part BP is comparable to that of the can body section.
- the can body section can have a high glossiness ranging from the upper end to the lower end in the axial direction thereof.
- the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above are one example in which the gist of the present invention is embodied, and modifications may be made, as required, in such ranges as not to depart from the gist of the invention. Further, known structures may be added to the seamless can bodies described in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, in such ranges as not to depart from the gist of the present invention.
- the present invention it becomes possible to enhance pressure resistance and restrain the phenomenon of buckling while the sheet thickness of the raw sheet (blank) of the seamless can body is reduced. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the manufacturing cost, transportation cost, and the like of the seamless can bodies.
