Sheet Metal Forming Processes and Die Design
Sheet Metal Forming Processes and Die Design concentrates on simple, practical engineering methods rather than complex numerical techniques to provide the practicing engineer, student, technician, and die maker with usable approaches to sheet-metal forming processes and die design.
A very large variety of sheet-metal forming processes is used in modern sheet-metal press-working shop practice. Many of these deformation processes, used in making aircraft, automobiles, and other products, use complex equipment that is derived from the latest discoveries in science and technology. With the ever- increasing knowledge of science and technology, deformation processes promise to be even more complex to satisfy the demand for more productivity, lower cost, and greater precision. However, for all their advantages, the more sophisticated deformation processes of today have not replaced the need for basic sheet-metal forming processes and dies.

The first part of the book deals with the structures of metals and the fundamental aspects of the mechanical behaviour of metals. Knowledge of structures is necessary to controlling and predicting the behaviour and performance of metals in metal forming processes. The second part of the book covers all aspects of forming . It presents the fundamental sheet-metal operations of shearing, blanking and punching, bending, stretching, and deep drawing. Mechanics of various drawing processes indicate ways in which the deformation, loads, and process limits can be calculated for press forming and deep drawing operations. The book includes various drawing processes (nosing, expanding, dimpling, spinning and flexible die forming) mostly used in the aircraft and aerospace industry.
