1、Fundamental of Materials Forming,-Sheet-Metal Forming Processes板金成形工艺,INTRODUCTION,Products made by sheet-metal forming processes are all around us;they include metal desks,file cabinets,appliances,car bodies,aircraft fuselages(机身),and beverage(饮料)cans.Sheet forming dates back to 5000 B.C.,when hous

4、made,a blank of suitable dimensions is first removed from a large sheet(usually from a coil)by shearing;that is,the sheet is cut by subjecting it to shear stresses,typically ones developed between a punch and a die(Fig.16.2a).Typical features of the sheared edges of the sheet and of the slug are sho

9、 the total length sheared(such as the perimeter of a hole),and UTS is the ultimate tensile strength of the material.As the clearance increases,the punch force decreases,and the wear on dies and punches is also reduced.,Shearing Operations,Several operations based on the shearing process are performe
10、d.We first define two terms.In punching,the sheared slug is discarded(Fig.16.4a).In blanking,the slug is the part and the rest is scrap.Many of the operations described below,as well as those described throughout the rest of this chapter,can now be carried out on computer-numerical-controlled machin

12、 die rather than be sheared.,Fine Blanking.,Very smooth and square edges can be produced by fine blanking(Fig.16.5a).The fine-blanking operation is usually carried out on triple-action hydraulic presses,where the movements of the punch,of the pressure pad,and of the die are separately controlled.The
13、 process usually involves a part having holes that are punched simultaneously with its blanking.Suitable sheet hardness is typically between 50 and 90 HRB.,Fine Blanking精冲,Figure 16.5(a)Comparison of sheared edges produced by conventional(left)and by fine-blanking(right)techniques.(b)Schematic illus
