    Die Design
    Abstract

    It's well known that one of the main operations of the sheet metal processes
    is the cutting operation and one the main die groups is cutting dies and as a
    main method of achieving cutting process is the shearing process that is only
    another name of the cutting process; which is applying a shear stress on the
    metal causing it to plastic deform then starts to fail giving the required shape
    of cut weather it's a blanking or piercing and through the next pages we will be
    discussing the conditions required for this shearing process and how can it be
    achieved and graphically how it can be applied.
    The shearing process is performed on a shear machine, often called a squaring shear or power shear, that can be
    operated manually (by hand or foot) or by hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric power. A typical shear machine includes a
    table with support arms to hold the sheet, stops or guides to secure the sheet, upper and lower straight-edge blades, and
    a gauging device to precisely position the sheet. The sheet is placed between the upper and lower blade, which are then
    forced together against the sheet, cutting the material. In most devices, the lower blade remains stationary while the
    upper blade is forced downward.

    Thus there is various types of the blades of this machine or the type of fixing the work piece:

    - Straight parallel cutters


    - Straight inclined cutters
    - Rotary cutters

    There are various conditions affecting the cut the shape of it and how to achieve it; the force applied by the cutters,
    the clearance between cutters and work piece, the surface finish of the work piece the condition of cutters both parts of
    bunch and die.

    First calculating the force:


    The zone we are trying to achieve is after the plastic deformation so the force applied must be higher than the maximum
    shearing stress of the material causing the material to fail while giving the required cut but is reached through multiple
    phases giving the required force and cut , as if the force is less than the yield strength it will only be elastically deformed
    while if it was more than the UTS it will be plastically deformed

    Stages of shearing operation


    Different Types of shearing cutters:
    This cutting procedure can be done through different shapes of cutters each has its own shape angle and product
    depending on the type of cut you need and also the Strength of material as each type can also give different amount of
    force and can affect the thickness differently.

    - Straight inclined cutters:


    Used for cutting material of relatively small thickness compared the the width of cutting
    using inclined cutters to reduce the shearing force and give the needed range of motion to
    disjoin the material.

    - Straight parallel cutters:


    The calculated shearing force needs to be increased
    depending on:
    Obtuseness of the angle.
    Enlarged clearance between cutters.
    Variations in thickness of the material.

    - Rotary Cutters
    This type of cutter is much similar to straight inclined cutters because the
    straight cutter can be considered as a rotary cutter but with an infinite
    radius but here we can produce rotary cuts and irregular shapes.

    Another two cutting operation similar to shearing are


    blanking and piercing which are also used in cutting sheet
    metal but into an exact shape the major difference is in the
    scrap or the removed and used metal part.
