Chapter III Basics of Molding Process

Section 1 blanking process

Blanking is a stamping process that uses punches to separate materials, including blanking, punching, slitting, cutting, trimming, and trimming. However, under normal circumstances it often refers to blanking and punching. This process can be directly made of materials into parts, but also for bending, deep drawing and forming processes. Punching down a part or blank of a desired shape from a material is called blanking. Punching a hole of a desired shape on the workpiece is called punching.

First, the stamping process

1, elastic deformation. At the start of punching, the punch pressurizes the material. Due to the bending moment, the material not only produces elastic compression, but also pulls and bends, and presses the material slightly into the die cavity. The stress state in this stage does not reach the plastic condition and is in the elastic deformation stage.

2, plastic deformation. The punch continues to pressurize the material. When the stress state of the material satisfies the plastic condition, plastic deformation occurs, accompanied by bending and stretching of the material. As the deformation increases, stress concentration occurs near the die population until the stress reaches a maximum and microcracks appear.

3, fracture separation. The punch is continuously pressed in, and the formed upper and lower microcracks gradually expand and extend into the material. When the two cracks overlap or intersect, the material is sheared and separated.


Second, blanking die gap

According to the analysis of the blanking process, it is known that the clearance between the punching die and the die has a great influence on the blanking quality, punching force, and die life.

1, the blanking die gap value determination 1 theoretical determination method. The theoretical basis for determining the main method is to ensure that the punching material, the upper and lower shear cracks overlap and pay in a connection.

2 experience determination method. Based on practical experience, the following empirical formula is often used to calculate a reasonable gap.


2, impact of punching die gaps on stamping

Third, the convex and concave die edge size calculation

The dimensional accuracy of the die edge is the primary factor affecting the dimensional accuracy of the blank. The reasonable clearance of the die is also ensured by the die edge size and its tolerance.

Fourth, punching force and its reduction method

1, the calculation of punching force. The purpose of calculating the punch force is to select the press and design the mold. It is clear that the tonnage of the press must be greater than the calculated punching force in order to meet the punching requirements.

2, reduce the punching force method. When punching high-strength materials or workpieces with large thickness and long peripheral edges, the required blanking force may exceed the existing press tonnage. In this case, measures to reduce the blanking force must be considered.

V. Precision blanking

1, fine red method. The fine punching method is also called the ring gear press punching method. This punching method and ordinary punching process in the difference, except that the convex, concave die gap is minimal and the die edge with rounded corners, in the die structure is also more than ordinary blanking die mounted a ring gear pressure plate and A top circle.


2, semi-precision

Sixth, renovation

1, the outer edge of renovation. The blanking stock with the trim allowance left before is placed on the trim die, the punch presses the blank into the die, and the balance is cut off by the die. The quality of the rim refurbishment is related to factors such as the number of refurbishments, the allowance for repairs, and the structure of the refurbishment mold.

2, inside the hole renovation. The internal hole repair process is similar to the external edge trimming. The difference is that the internal hole trimming uses the punch removal margin. The purpose of the refurbishment is to correct the coordinate position of the hole, improve the finish and the dimensional accuracy of the hole.
