Apparatus and method configured to manipulate friction between workpiece and deep drawing tool during deep drawing process

The invention relates to a system for manufacturing a metal product, comprising: a lubrication source (225) for applying a first lubricant (235) to a punch side of a sheet-shaped metal blank (205); a controllable current source (250) for applying different amounts of current; and a punch (215) and a die (220) for drawing the sheet metal blank (205) into a metal product wherein a controllable current source (250) is electrically coupled to one or more of the punch (215), the die (220), or the contacts, the first lubricant (235) is configured to apply an electrical current through the first lubricant (235) while the sheet metal blank (205) is drawn into the metal product by the punch (215) and the die (220) and while the metal product is ejected from the punch (215). The present application also relates to a method for manufacturing a metal product using such a system. The invention also relates to a container manufacturing system (700) comprising: a cylindrical indenter (720) comprising an indenter body (722)
