Q

what is rolling

A

a processes in which the thicknessb of the work is reduced by compressive forces

A

wire
bar
tube

34

plastic deformatiobn
penetration
fracturwe

39
Q

what is shearing

A

a sheet metal cutting operation along a straight line between 2 cutting edges

40
Q

what is blanking

A

cutting sheet metal along a closed outline where the fallen peice is desired peice

41
Q

what is the peice that is cut out dring blanking called

A

blank

42
Q

what is punching

A

similar to blanking but the peice cut is scrap

43
Q

what is cut off

A

seperating part with no excess waste

44
Q

what is parting

A

seperating a part with excess waste

45
Q

what is peircing

A

a punching operation in which a hole is cut out

46
Q

what is slotting

A

simillar to periceing but a rectangular hole is cut

47
Q

what uis notching

A

cutting a portion of metal from the edge of the sheet

48
Q

what i ssemi notching

A

cutting a portion from inside the sheet

spring back

56
Q

what is the neutral axis

A
