Tool and Die Design for a Piercing Operation of Strip

Abstract

The sheet-metal parts have already replaced many expensive cast, forged, and machined products in today’s practical and cost-conscious world. The factor is obviously the relative cheapness of these methods, or otherwise mass-produced parts, as well as greater control of their technical and aesthetic parameters. Press working is generally defined as a chip less manufacturing process by which various components are made from sheet metal. To produce a particular component in large quantity press tools are used. Metals having thickness less than 6mm is generally considered as strip. Metals having thickness greater than 6mm is considered as plate. In this work, According to organization need that the required strip part should have semi circular ends at both the ends. So in this work an attempt is made on to design the die for the strip to meet the actual operations requirement, materials, and calculations involved in it. The theoretical calculations for die are done and the parts are drawn with the help of software. The analysis of these parts is done on Ansys software and the results are taken.
