Sheet-Metal Forming Processes

Process Roll forming Stretch forming Drawing Stamping Characteristics Long parts with constant complex cross-sections; good surface nish; high production rates; high tooling costs. Large parts with shallow contours; suitable for low-quantity production; high labor costs; tooling and equipment costs depend on part size. Shallow or deep parts with relatively simple shapes; high production rates; high tooling and equipment costs. Includes a variety of operations, such as punching, blanking, embossing, bending, anging, and coining; simple or complex shapes formed at high production rates; tooling and equipment costs can be high, but labor costs are low. Drawing and embossing of simple or complex shapes; sheet surface protected by rubber membranes; exibility of operation; low tooling costs. Small or large axisymmetric parts; good surface nish; low tooling costs, but labor costs can be high unless operations are automated. Complex shapes, ne detail, and close tolerances; forming times are long, and hence production rates are low; parts not suitable for high-temperature use. Shallow contours on large sheets; exibility of operation; equipment costs can be high; process is also used for straightening parts. Very large sheets with relatively complex shapes, although usually axisymmetric; low tooling costs, but high labor costs; suitable for low-quantity production; long cycle times. Shallow forming, bulging, and embossing operations on relatively lowstrength sheets; most suitable for tubular shapes; high production rates; requires special tooling.

FIGURE 7.59 Effect of die and punch corner radii on fracture in deep drawing of a cylindrical cup. (a) Die corner radius too small; typically, it should be 5 to 10 times the sheet thickness. (b) Punch corner radius too small. Because friction between the cup and the punch aids in the drawing operation, excessive lubrication of the punch is detrimental to drawability.

FIGURE 7.63 (a) Forming-limit diagram (FLD) for various sheet metals. Note that the major strain is always positive. The region above the curves is the failure zone; hence, the state of strain in forming must be such that it falls below the curve for a particular material; R is the normal anisotropy. (b) Illustrations of the denition of positive and negative minor strains. If the area of the deformed circle is larger than the area of the original circle, the sheet is thinner than the original thickness because the volume remains constant during plastic deformation.
