Sheet Metal Working
Cutting and forming operations performed on
relatively thin sheets of metal.
Typical sheet-metal thicknesses are between 0.4
mm and 6 mm.
Above this thickness is plate and below this
thickness is called foil.

Material in sheet metal forming
processes
• The most commonly used sheet metal is low carbon steel
(0.06%–0.15% C) because of its low cost and generally good
strength and formability characteristics.
• Aluminum is the most common material for such sheet-metal
applications as beverage cans, packaging, kitchen utensils, and
applications where corrosion resistance is a concern. The
common metallic materials for aircraft and aerospace
applications are aluminum and titanium.

Temperature and sheet metal
forming
Sheet-metal processing is usually performed at room
temperature (cold working). The exceptions are when
the sheet is thick, the metal is brittle, or the
deformation is significant. These are usually cases of
warm working rather than hot working.
warm working performed in order to increase formability and
decrease forming loads on machinery. Typical materials in
worm stamping operations are titanium alloys and various high-
strength steels.20-10-2019

Categories of sheet metal
processes
The two major categories of sheet-metal processes
are
(1) Cutting,
(2) Deformation
Cutting is used to separate large sheets into smaller
pieces, to cut out part perimeters, and to make holes
in parts.
Deformation is used to form sheet-metal parts into
their required shapes.

Sheet Metal Working » Shearing
Cutting of sheet metal is accomplished by a shearing
action between two sharp cutting edges.
20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
21

At the top of the cut surface is a region called the Rollover.
This corresponds to the depression made by the punch in
the work prior to cutting. It is where initial plastic
deformation occurred in the work.
20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
22

Then another portion, Just below the rollover which rubs
with the surface of the punch, this is called Burnishing
zone. This results from penetration of the punch into the
sheet before fracture began. The smooth and shiny
burnished surfaces on the hole and the slug are from the
contact and rubbing of the sheared edge against the walls
of the punch and die.
20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
23

Beneath the burnish is the Fractured Zone, a relatively
rough surface of the cut edge where continued downward
movement of the punch caused fracture of the metal.
20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
24

Finally, at the bottom of the edge is a Burr, a sharp corner
on the edge caused by elongation of the metal during final
separation of the two pieces.
Burr height increases with increasing clearance and
ductility of the sheet metal.
20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
25

So, if we sum up the deformation zone and the burnishing
zone, sum of both these is called PENETRATION.
Penetration is the depth by which punch must penetrate
the sheet before fractures meet. Depending upon the
thickness and depending upon the hardness of the
material, the different amount of the penetration is
required.

» Penetration of Cutting Edge

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
28
» Penetration of Cutting Edge
with the increasing entry of the punch into
the sheet metal the compressive strain as
well as the stresses will keep on increasing
and stage will arrive when the cracks will
nucleate both the sides and their growth
will start.

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
29
» Penetration (% of Sheet Thickness)
Softer the metal, higher the penetration
Similarly, for increase the thickness, greater the % of the
penetration is required.
So, Hard metal requires less penetration and the thick
metals require more penetration

» Penetration (% of Sheet Thickness)
So, if we sum up the deformation zone and the burnishing
zone, sum of both these is called PENETRATION.
20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)

» Quality of the Edge
The ratio of the shining (burnished) area to the rough area
on the sheared edge decreases with increasing clearance
and sheet thickness.
The quality of sheared edge is also affected by punch
speed; greater the punch speed better the edge quality.
20-10-2019

31

» STAGES IN SHEARING ACTION
20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
32
In phase I, during which the work material is compressed across and
slightly deformed between the punch and die, the stress and
deformation in the material do not exceed the elastic limit. This phase
is known as the ELASTIC PHASE.

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
33
In Phase II, at this point in the operation, the material has been obviously deformed at
the rim, between the cutting edges of the punch and die. This concentration of outside
forces causes plastic deformation at the rim of the material. At the end of this phase, the
stress in the work material close to the cutting edges reaches a value corresponding to
the material shear strength, but the material resists fracture. This phase is called the
plastic phase.

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
34
During Phase III, the strain in the work material reaches the fracture limit, and
micro-cracks appear which turn into macro-cracks, followed by separation of
the parts of the workpiece. The cracks in the material start at the cutting edge
of the punch on the upper side of the work material, also at the die edge on
the lower side of the material; the cracks propagate along the slip planes until
complete separation of the part from the sheet occurs.

The first phase is elastic

Sheet Metal Working »Sheet Metal Bending
20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
65
Bending of sheet metal is a common and vital process in
manufacturing industry.
Sheet metal bending is the plastic deformation of the work over
an axis, creating a change in the part's geometry.
Similar to other metal forming processes, bending changes the
shape of the work piece, while the volume of material will remain
the same.
In some cases bending may produce a small change in sheet
thickness. For most operations, however, bending will produce
essentially no change in the thickness of the sheet metal.

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
66
Why bending?
In addition to creating a desired geometric form, bending is
also used to impart strength and stiffness to sheet metal, to
change a part's moment of inertia, for cosmetic appearance
and to eliminate sharp edges

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
67
Bending Processes
One of the most common types of sheet metal manufacturing
processes is V bending. The V shaped punch forces the work into
the V shaped die and hence bends it. This type of process can
bend both very acute and very obtuse angles, also anything in
between, including 90 degrees.

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
68
Bending Processes »
Edge bending is another very common sheet metal process and is
performed with a wiping die. Edge bending gives a good
mechanical advantage when forming a bend. However, angles
greater than 90 degrees will require more complex equipment.
Edge bending - with a wiping die

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
69
Rotary bending forms the work by a similar mechanism as edge
bending. However, rotary bending uses a different design than the
wiping die. A cylinder, with the desired angle cut out, serves as
the punch. The cylinder can rotate about one axis and is securely
constrained in all other degrees of motion by its attachment to the
saddle.
Rotary bending

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
70
The sheet metal is placed cantilevered over the edge of the lower
die, similar to the setup in edge bending. Unlike in edge bending,
with rotary bending, there is no pressure pad.

Air bending is the most common type of 3 Types Of
Bending used in sheet metal shops today.
In this process the workpiece comes in contact with the outside
edges of the die, as well as the punch tip. The punch is then
forced past the top of the die into the v-opening without coming
into contact with the bottom of the v. The v opening is typically
deeper than the angle which is sought in the work piece.

74
Advantages of air bending process
✓ In air bending different bend angles can be produced by adjusting the
punch travel alone into the die, without the need for tool changes,
and this makes the technique more flexible than closed die bending.
✓ Since the punch does not force the sheet against the die, the force
necessary to form the parts is small and hence much less press
tonnage is required compared to closed die bending.
✓ Air bending can allow a degree of over bending necessary to
compensate for spring back..

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
75
Limitations of air bending process
✓A precise control of the punch stroke is necessary to obtain the
desired bend angle.
✓Spring back in an air bending process is large in the absence of
bottoming.

✓Offset dies can perform two close bends in one stroke
✓increasing production up to 500% compared with single bends
✓but the tonnage requirement can range from 3 to 15 times that
of a simple 90 bend. So, Offset bending is usually restricted to
relatively light-gage metal (3.2 mm or less).
✓Offset dies are also more expensive.
✓Offset bends can also be made in two strokes with standard V-
dies.

Corrugating is a type of bending process in which a symmetrical
bend is produced across the width of sheet metal and at a regular
interval along its entire length.

20-10-2019
(Dr. L K Bhagi)
84
A variety of shapes are used for corrugating, but they all have the
same purpose, to increase the rigidity of the sheet metal and
increase its resistance to bending moments.
This is accomplished by a work hardening of the metal and a
change in the sheet's moment of inertia, caused by the bend's
geometry.
Corrugated sheet metal is very useful in structural applications
and is widely used in the construction industry.

• Sheet metal of different sizes can be bent an innumerable amount
of ways, at different locations, to achieve desired part
geometries.
• Edge bending operations are commonly used in industrial sheet
metal processing and involve bending a section of the metal that
is small relative to the part.
• These sections are located at the edges. Edge bending is used to
eliminate sharp edges, to provide geometric surfaces for
purposes such as joining, to protect the part, to increase stiffness
and for cosmetic appearance.

The term hemming has its origins in fabric making where the edge of
cloth is folded back on itself and then stitched shut. In sheet metal
hemming means to fold the metal back on itself. When working with
a Brake Press hems are always created in a two step process:
and seaming
❖Create a bend with Acute Angle
Tooling in the metal, 30° is
preferable but 45° will work for
some circumstances.
❖Place the acute bend under a
flattening bar and apply enough
pressure to finish closing the
bend.
Press brakes, also known as
Brake Presses or just brakes
are machines used to bend
sheet metal using tooling
known as dies and punches.

Seaming is a sheet metal joining process.
Seaming involves bending the edges of two parts over on each other.
As the bends are locked together, each bend helps resist the
deformation of the other bend, providing a well fortified joint
structure.
Seaming has been employed
to create watertight or airtight joints
between sheet metal parts.

Roll bending is a major manufacturing process for the metal
bending of large pieces of plate. Roll bending uses three rolls to
feed and bend the plate to the desired curvature. The arrangement of
the rolls determines the exact bend of the work. Different curves are
obtained by controlling the distance and angle between the rolls.
