Examples of Stamped
Parts

This part was made from several stamped parts plus


a nut, which were stamped again to seal them
together
Examples of Stamped
Parts

This part was made from a sheet that was stamped,


bent, and welded into a tube, plus a separate
stamped end piece
Examples of Stamped
Parts
Shearing

A sheet-metal cutting operation along


a straight line between two cutting
edges
Shearing of Metal
Between Cutting Edges
Shearing of Metal
Between Cutting Edges

1/3 of material is cut


and 2/3 of material
fractures
Blanking

Involves cutting the sheet metal along


a closed outline
Piercing and Blanking

Shearing operations in which the


shear blades are closed, curved
lines along the edges of the punch
and die
In blanking, the piece punched out is
the workpiece; in piercing, the
remaining strip is the workpiece

Bending Springback
Deep Drawing

A sheet metal forming operation used


to make hollow-shaped parts
Deep Drawing
Redrawing

Additional drawing steps (redrawing)


may be required if the shape
change of the material is too
severe

Progressive Die

Performs multiple operations at


different stations with every press
stroke

Spinning

Uses a spinning mandrel and a roller


to form sheet metal into a radially
symmetrical part

Tube Spinning

Uses a spinning mandrel and a roller


to reduce the wall thickness and
increase the length of a tube
Summary

Blanking, bending, and deep


drawing are capable of
producing an immense variety
of thin metal parts

Progressive dies can produce


parts at high production rates
by performing multiple
operations simultaneously
