Sheet metal forming

shearing

major processing parameters in

shearing are
1)The shape of the punch and die
2)The speed of punching
3) Lubrication
4) The clearance, c, between the
punch and the die

maximum punch force, F,

F = 0.7TL(UTS)
T Sheet thickness
L- Total length sheared
UTS Ultimate tensile strength of the
material

Shearing Operations

Perforating
Parting
Slitting
Blanking
Punching
Notching
Lancing
Slotting
Seminotching

Perforating
punching a number of holes in a sheet

Parting
shearing the sheet into two or more
pieces

Slitting :
Shearing operations can be carried out by means of a pair
of circular blades. In slitting, the blades follow either a
straight line, a circular path, or a curved path.
