Part ISheet metal forming

Sheet metal working includes cutting and forming operations performed on relatively thin sheets of metal.

Shearing Blanking Punching

Bending Drawing Spinning Stretching

Cutting Forming

Page 4: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Typical sheet metal thicknesses are below 6mm (1/4in). When the thickness exceeds about 6mm,the stock is

usually referred to as plate rather than sheet. The sheet or plate stock used in sheet metalworking is

produced by rolling.

Page 10: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Cutting operation

• Cutting of sheet metal is accomplished by a shearing action between two sharp cutting edges.

• The upper cutting edge (the punch) sweeps down past a stationary lower cutting edge(the die).

(1)

Just before the punch contact the work

Page 12: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• c

(2)

Punch begins to push into the work, causing plastic deformation

Page 13: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• c

(3)

Punch compresses and penetrates into the work and causing a smooth cut surface

Page 14: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• c(4)

Fracture is initiated at the opposing cutting edges that separate the sheet.

Symbols V and F represents motion and applied force , respectively, t = stock thickness , c = clearance.

Page 15: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Shearing

• Is a sheet metal cutting operation along a straight line between two cutting edges.

• Shearing is typically used to cut large sheets into smaller sections for subsequent press working operations.

Page 16: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• It is performed on a machine called a power shear, or squaring shear.

• The upper blade of the power shears is often inclined (to reduce

cutting force).

• The shearing operation constitutes the first stage of any forming

process by producing either

The starting material (cutting out of a sheet) OR

Preparing an existing work piece e.g by punching a hole or a

series of holes before forming.

Page 17: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Blanking

• Involves cutting of sheet metal along a closed outline in a single step to separate the piece from the surrounding stock, as shown in figure a the part that is cut out is the desired product in the operation and is called the blank.

Page 18: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Punching

• Is similar to blanking except that the separated piece is scrap, called the slug. the remaining stock is desired part. the distinction is illustrated in figure b.

Page 19: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Engineering analysis of sheetmetal cutting

• One of the important parameters in sheet metal cutting is clearance between the punch and die

• The clearance c in a shearing operation is the distance between the punch and die.

• Typical clearance in conventional press working range between 4% and 8% of the sheet metal thickness t.

Page 20: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• Measured perpendicular to the direction of the blade movement.

• It affects the finish of the cut(burr) and machine’s power consumption.

Page 21: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• If the clearance is too small, then the fracture line tend to pass each other ,causing a double burnishing and large cutting force.

Page 22: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

con..

• If the clearance is too large ,the metal becomes pinched between the cutting edges and an excessive burr results.

Page 23: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• The correct clearance depends on sheetmetal type and thickness.

• The recommended clearance can be calculated by the following formula:

C = Act

Where:

C=Clearance , mm;

Ac = Clearance allowance (percentage of the material thickness)

t=Stock thickness, mm.

Page 24: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• The clearance allowance is determined according to the type of metal 4.5%, 6% or 7.5% of the material thickness.

• For convenience, metals are classified into three groups with an associated allowance value for each group.

Clearance allowance for three sheet metal groups

Page 25: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• The calculated clearance values can be applied to conventional blanking and hole-punching operations to determine the proper punch and die sizes.

• The die opening must always be larger than the punch size(obviously).

• Because of the geometry of the sheared edge, the outer dimension of the part cut out of sheet will be larger than the hole size.

Page 26: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• Punch and die sizes for a round blank of diameter Db are determined as;

Blanking punch diameter =Db-2c

Blanking die diameter =Db

• Punch and die sizes for a round hole of diameter Dh are determined as:

Hole punch diameter = Dh

Hole die diameter = Dh+2c

Page 27: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Angular Clearance Purpose: allows slug

or blank to drop through die

Typical values: 0.25 to 1.5 on each side

Page 28: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Cutting force

• Estimates of cutting force are important because this force determines the size (tonnage) of the press needed. Cutting force F in sheetmetal working can be determined by

Where S= Shear strength of the metal, Mpa

t = Sthock thickness, mm

L= length of the cut edge,mm

• In blanking ,punching ,slotting ,and similar operations , L is the perimeter length of the blank or hole being cut.

Page 29: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Example

A round disk of 150mm diameter is to be blanked from a

strip of 3.2mm cold rolled steel whose shear

strength=310MPa. Determine (a) the appropriate punch

and die diameters, and (b) blanking force.

Page 30: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Other sheet-metal cutting operations

Page 31: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Cutoff

Is a shearing operation in which blanks are separated from a sheet-metal strip by cutting the opposite sides of the part in sequence.

Page 32: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

With each cut, anew part is produced.

Distinguish it from a conventional shearing operation.

• The cut edges are not necessarily straight

Page 33: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Parting

Involves cutting a sheet-metal strip by a punch with two cutting edges that match the opposite sides of the bank.

Page 34: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

This might be required because the part outline has an irregular shape.

Parting is less efficient than cutoff in the sense that it results in some wasted materials.

Page 35: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Slotting

Is the term sometimes used for a punching operzation that cuts out an elongated or rectangular hole.

Page 36: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Perforating

Involves the simultaneous punching of a pattern of holes in sheet metal.

The hole pattern is usually for decorative purposes, or allow passage of light, gas, of fluid.

Page 37: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Notching and Seminotching

• Notching involves cutting out a portion of metal From the side of the sheet or strip.

• Seminotching removes a portion of metal from the interior of the sheet.

Page 38: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Seminotching might seem the same as punching and slotting operation.

The difference is that the metal removed by seminotching creats part of the blank outline, while punching and slotting creates holes in the blank.

Page 39: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Shaving

Page 40: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Fine blanking

Is a shearing operation used to blank sheet metal parts with close tolerances and smooth, straight edges in one step, as illustrated in figure (b).

Page 41: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Pressure pad applies holding force(Fh) in order to prevent distortion.

The punch then descends with slower than the normal velocity and smaller clearance to provide the desired dimension and cut edge.

The process in usually for small stock thicknesses.

Bending operation

Bending in sheet metal work is defined as the straining of the metal around a straight axis (figure a).

During bending the metal on the inside of the neutral plane is compressed ,while the metal on the outside of the neutral plane is stretched (figure b).

Page 45: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• The metal is plastically deformed so the bend takes a permanent set upon removal of stresses that caused it.

• Bending produces little or no change in the thickness of the sheet metal.

Page 46: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

V-Bending and Edge bending

Bending operations are performed by using punch and die tooling .

The common bending methods are

1. V-Bending ,performed with a V-die.

Page 47: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

2. Edge bending , performed with wiping die.

Page 48: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Page 49: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Engineering analysis of bending

The metal of thickness t is bend through an angle called the bend angle α.

This results in a sheet metal part with an included angle α’, where α + α’= 180°

Page 50: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con.. R=Inside Bend radius

W= The bend is made over the width of the work piece W.

Kba= k factor ( the location of the neutral axis in the material.

• Calculated as the ratio of the neutral axis (measured from the inside

bend surface to the material thickness)

• Since neutral axis is the theoretical location at which the material is

neither compressed nor stretched .we use the following

recommended values of K.

Page 51: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Recommended value of Kba

R<2t,Kba=0.33

R ≥2t,Kba=0.50 t=stock thickness

Page 52: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Bend allowance

The bend allowance (Ab) is the length of the neutral axis between the bend lines, or the arc length of the bend.

Page 53: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Spring back When the bending pressure removed at the end of deformation ,elastic

energy remains in the bent part ,causing it to recover particularly to its original shape. This elastic recovery is called springback.

Figure: (1) during the operation ,the work is forced to take the radius Rt and included angle α’t determined by the bending tool (punch in v-bending) (2) after the punch is removed ,the work springs back to radius R and included angle α’. Symbol: F=applied bending force.

Page 54: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

• Spring back in bending show itself as a decrease in bend angle and an increase in bend radius.

Sb= spring backα’= Included angle of the sheet metal (after spring

back)α’t =Included angle of the bending tool

Page 55: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Compensation for springback

Can accomplished by several methods one of these methods is over bending. Due to this elastic recovery, it is necessary to over-bend the sheet a precise amount to achieve the desired bend radius and bend angle . This is called over bending.

Page 56: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Bending force

Page 57: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

F = Bending force

TS = Tensile strength of the sheet metal

W = Width of part in the direction of the bend axis.

t= stock thickness

D=die opening dimension

Kbf= Is a constant for differences encountered in actual bending process. Its value depends on type of bending: For V-bending, Kbf=1.33; and for edge bending, Kbf=0.33

Page 58: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

Example: A sheet metal blank is to be bent as shown in figure below. The metal has a modulus of elasticity=205(103) MPa, yield strength=275MPa, and tensile strength=450MPa. Determine (a) the starting blank size and (b) the bending force if a V-die is used with a die opening dimension = 25mm.

Drawing

Drawing is a sheet metal forming operation used to make cup shaped ,box-shaped ,or other complex curved, hollow shaped parts.

It is performed by placing a piece of sheet metal over a die cavity and pushing the metal into the opening with a punch.

The blank must be held down flat against the die by blank holder.

Page 65: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

( a ) Drawing of cup shaped part :

Page 68: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Mechanics of drawing

A blank diameter Db is drawn into a die by means of a punch of diameter Dp.

The punch and die must have a corner radii, given by Rp and Rd .

Page 69: Metal Forming, Production Engineering II

Con..

If the punch and die were to have sharp corners (Rp and Rd=0) a hole punching process wood be accomplished rather than drawing operation.

The sides of the punch and die are separated by a clearance c.

The clearance in drawing is about 10% grater than the stock thickness.

C= 0.1t
