Sheet Metal Die Bending 

Objective
It’s a good idea to start with the basic definition of sheet metal. Sheet metal can be classified or can be understood as a flat metal sheet. Depending on its thickness it is either called a leaf/foil or a plate. Very thin metal sheet is called a leaf foil and metal sheets thicker than 6mm are called as plates. Sheet metal is one of the basic forms of manufacturing where the metal sheets are cut and bent into various forms depending upon various needs and uses. Normally there are two processes involved in Sheetmetal fabrication they are Deep Drawing and Flat Rolling. Now let us look at these two processes with some detail.

Deep Drawing   Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process in which a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch. It is thus a shape transformation process with material retention. The process is considered “deep” drawing when the depth of the drawn part exceeds its’ diameter. This is achieved by redrawing the part trough a series of dies. The flange region (sheet metal in the die shoulder area) experiences a radial drawing stress and a tangential compressive stress due to the material retention property. These compressive stresses (hoop stresses) result in flange wrinkles (wrinkles of the first order). Wrinkles can be prevented by using a blank holder, the function of which is to facilitate controlled material flow into the die radius.
