-
Published:2006
Abstract
Many shearing, blanking, and piercing operations are based on the same underlying principles of shear mechanisms. This article provides information on the various operations associated with die cutting and describes three phases involved in the shear cutting or punching action. These phases include deformation, penetration and fracture. The article also explains the effect of clearance on tool life and force and power requirements. It reviews the forces involved in the punching process and describes the diameter of a hole or blank in relation to material thickness. The limitations of punching are also discussed. The article describes the relationship of...
