o Pressure Required for Punching.—The formula for the force in tons required to punch a circular hole in sheet steel is, F = , where ss =
2 000
the shearing strength of the material in psi; t = thickness of the steel in inches, and 2000 is the number of lb in 1 ton. An approximate formula is,
F = D t (80) , where D and T are the diameter of the hole and the thickness of the steel, respectively, both in inches, and 80 is a factor for steel.
The result is the force in tons.
o If the hole is not circular, replace the hole diameter with the value of one-third of the perimeter of the hole to be punched.
o The corresponding factor for punching holes in brass is 65 instead of 80.

a) Stainless steels b) Structural steels c) Tool steels d) Mild steels

82. These group of stainless steels fall into the AISI 200 and 300 series. They are general-purpose grades with moderate strength. Most are not heat-
treatable, and their final properties are determined by the amount of working, with the resulting temper referred to as 1/4 hard, ½ hard, 3/4 hard, and full
hard. These alloys are nonmagnetic and are typically used in food processing equipment.
83. These stainless steels belong to the AISI 400 series, designated as 405, 409, 430, 446, and so on. They are magnetic and perform well at elevated
temperatures, from 1300°F to 1900°F (700°C-1040°C), depending on the alloy. They are not heat-treatable, but they can be cold-worked to improve
properties. Typical applications include heat exchanger tubing, petroleum refining equipment, automotive trim, furnace parts, and chemical equipment.
84. These stainless steels are also members of the AISI 400 series, including 403, 410, 414, 416, 420, 431, and 440 types. They are magnetic, can be
heat-treated, and have higher strength than the 200 and 300 series, while retaining good toughness. Typical uses include turbine engine parts, cutlery,
.scissors, pump parts, valve parts, surgical instruments, aircraft fittings, and marine hardware.
85. Most of these materials are designated by ASTM numbers established by the American Society for Tesfing and Materials. One common grade is ASTM
A36, which has a minimum yield point of 36 000 psi (248 MPa) and is very ductile. It is basically a low-carbon, hot-rolled steel available in sheet, plate,
bar, and structural shapes such as some wide-flange beams, American Standard beams, channels, and angles.
87. This material refers to a group of steels typically used for cutting tools, punches, dies, shearing blades, chisels, and similar uses. The numerous
varieties of tool steel materials have been classified into seven general types. Whereas most uses of these steels are related to the field of
manufacturing engineering, they are also pertinent to machine design where the ability to maintain a keen edge under abrasive conditions is required.
Also, some of these steels have rather high shock resistance which may be desirable in machine components such as parts for mechanical clutches,
pawls, blades, guides for moving materials, and clamps.
