Cutting Operations Shearing by two sharp cutting edges. Plastic deformation penetration fracture
Shearing, Blanking and Punching Shearing - Cutting on sheet-metal with straight edges. Blanking - Cutting sheet-metal with a closed contour. Punching - Making holes on sheet-metal.
Sheet-metal Cutting c = at c = clearance a = allowance t = thickness Blanking: Blanking punch dia. = Db- 2c Blanking die dia. = Db Punch Hole punch dia. = Db Hole die dia. = Db+ 2c 0.25 to 1.5
Sheet-metal Cutting Small clearance Cutting force = StL S = Shear strength of sheet-metal t = Sheet-metal thickness L = Length of cutting edge or, Cutting force = 0.7TtL T = Ultimate tensile strength of sheet-metal Large clearance
Sheet-metal Cutting Operations Cut-off Parting Slotting Perforating Notching / Seminotching
Sheet-metal Cutting Operations Fine blanking - close tolerances and smooth edges in one step. Trimming - Cutting operation to remove excess metal Shaving - Shearing with very small clearance to obtain accurate dimensions., secondary or finishing operation.
Bending V- bending Edge - bending
Bending Analysis BA = 2 A( R + Kbat ) / 360 where BA = bending allowance, A = bend angle, R = bend radius, t = stock thickness, Kba = stretch factor. For R< 2t, Kba= 0.33 ; for R 2t, Kba= 0.5. Spring back, where A’ = include angle of sheet-metal part A’b = include angle of bending tool w = width of sheet-metal Bending force D = die opening dimension Kbf = 1.33 V-bending Kbf = 0.33 edge bending

Drawing c = Clearance Db = blank diameter Dp = Punch diameter Rd = die corner radius Rp = Punch corner radius F = drawing force Fh = holding force
Deep Drawing Initial step bending of edge straightening of side wall Thinning and drawing final cup shape
Drawing Analysis Drawing ratio, 2.0 where Db = blank diameter Dp = punch diameter t = thickness of the starting blank Reduction, 0.5 Thickness to diameter ratio, 1% Drawing force, , max. at 1/3 stroke. Holding force, Holding pressure may be set at 0.015 of the yield strength T = Tensile strength, Y = Yield strength, Rd = die corner radius
Drawing Analysis • Blank diameter can be calculated from the conservation of volume based on the final volume of the part. • If the limits on the drawing ratio, reduction and thickness-to-diameter ratio are exceeded, the blank must be drawn in steps or having annealing between the steps. • Process optimization: • Punch and die corner radii • friction • depth of draw (per step) • material characteristics
Drawing Defects a) Wrinkling in flange - small holding force b) Wrinkling in the wall - insufficient holding force, wrinkling initially occurring on the flange. c) Tearing - high stress, sharp die radius d) Earing - anisotropy of the material e) Surface scratches - Die or punch not having a smooth surface, insufficient lubrication
Other Sheet-metal Operations Ironing - squeezing and drawing in conjunction Corning & Embossing - to produce surface details Lancing - combination of cutting and forming
Other Sheet-metal Operations Rubber forming processes: Guerin process - low cost, small volume, pressure up 10 MPa. Hydroforming - Higher pressure, up to 100 MPa.
Dies Components of a punch and die for blanking operation
Dies Progressive dies and final part
Press Press are driven mechanically or hydraulically. crankshaft Knuckle joint eccentric
Stretch Forming Stretching and forming with a die at the same time.
Roll Forming Similar to the the rolling process but working on sheet-metal or tubes.
Spinning Conventional spinning Shear spinning - thinning and bending occur at the same time.
Spinning Tube spinning - similar to shear spinning but working on a tube.
High Energy Forming Explosive forming Electrohydraulic forming Electromagnetic forming
