G- STAMPING Flashcards
varied processes that can be applied to sheet metal manipulation
STAMPING
sheet metal is placed over a die and then the hole is generated by a descending punch. the sheet with the hole is retained.
PUNCHING
the piece of material discarded after PUNCHING
BLANK/SLUG
the same process as PUNCHING, but the SLUG/BLANK is retained and the sheet is discarded
BLANKING
example of a product that is both PUNCHED and BLANKED.
PLAIN or FLAT WASHERS
when punching is performed multiple times in close proximity over a given area of sheet metal. can involve any size, shape, or combination of holes.
PERFORATING
Another process for putting a hole of any shape through sheet metal, but it ALWAYS intersects the side of the sheet. often associated with bending operations.
NOTCHING
PUNCHING that becomes NOTCHES once the sheet is subsequently sheared.
SEMINOTCHING
process that uses subsequent notches to cut out areas of sheet metal (looks like caterpillar bites out of a leaf) mostly performed in workshops or in the field
NIBBLING
a process that can cut thin sheet metal without generating chips or shavings; employs ROTARY KNIVES and commonly used by can openers
SLITTING
a sheet metal process that combines SLITTING with LOCAL BENDING; creates sheet metal features that are out-of-plane with the surface.
LANCING
creates sheet metal features that are out-of-plane with the surface, uses a pointed punch, and results in a FLANGED HOLE and NO SLUG.
PIERCING
the sheet metal is between a PRESSURE PAD and a BASE DIE. a WIPING DIE with a rounded corner descends at a specified clearance onto the sheet metal to bend it
EDGE BENDING
when permanently deformed, the metal will still flex back somewhat due to the elastic portion of the overall deflection as the forces are removed.
SPRINGBACK
LANCING for ventilation
