Basic Sheet Forming Processes(from http://www.menet.umn.edu/~klamecki/Forming/mainforming.html) Shearing Drawing Bending
Sheet T Punch D Die Part or slug Shearing Operation Force Requirement F = 0.7 T L (UTS) T = Sheet Thickness L = Total length Sheared UTS = Ultimate Tensile Strength of material
Workpiece Die Bending Force Requirement Force Punch T = Sheet Thickness W = Total Width Sheared (into the page) L =Span length UTS = Ultimate Tensile Strength of material T L Engineering Strain during Bending: e = 1/((2R/T) + 1) R = Bend radius Minimum Bend radius: R = T ((50/r) – 1) r = tensile area reduction in percent
