    It is essential to know the correct thickness to which a product can be developed with adequate strength and ductility. In this study the Influence of sheet thickness on formability of material Commercially Pure Titanium under Polytetra Floro Ethylene (PTFE) lubrication condition is experimentally investigated according to BIS-IS 10175 standard using Erichsen Cupping Test. Generally formability of a material depends on intrinsic material properties and prevailing process parameters. The process parameters such as lubricating conditions which alter tribological conditions during forming are taken into considerations. The process parameters are analyzed by selecting different thickness specimens of commercial pure titanium alloy. It is evaluated that the formability of the material commercially pure titanium alloy varies on thickness variation. It is also evaluated that formability of materials selected in the study differs under different lubricating conditions.
