2. A piece of metal whose thickness is between 0.006(0.15 mm)
and 0.25 inches(6.35 mm).
Anything thinner is referred to as a foil and thicker is considered
as a plate.
Sheet thickness is generally measured in gauge. Greater the
gauge number, thinner the sheet of metal.
Sheet metal can be cut, bent and stretched into nearly any
shape.
Generally two types of operations are performed- forming and
cutting.

Sheet metal is a metal formed into thin and flat pieces. It is one
of the fundamental forms used in metalworking, and can be cut
and bent into a variety of different shapes.
Countless everyday objects are constructed by this material.
Thicknesses can vary significantly, although extremely thin sheets
are considered as foil or leaf, and sheets thicker than 6 mm (0.25
in) are considered as plate.
Sheet metal forming is a grouping of many complementary
processes that are used to form sheet metal parts.

The most common sheet metal
used in automotive to make
bodies is steel. It is reasonably
cheap and easy to press into
shape to make body parts.
The next best is aluminum. It is
lighter but harder to bend into
tight shapes without cracking.
It is also harder to weld in mass
production.

5. There are three types of steel
used in the automotive body and
only two are commonly used.
The first type which is used by
Volvo™ is boron steel which is
stronger than the other two types
of steel.
The two types commonly used
are:
Mild and low-carbon steel
Higher carbon steel

Boron steel is developed using boron as an
alloying element in developing Ultra High-
strength Steel (UHSS).
Once bent, it can’t be straightened and it
requires replacement if damaged.
Boron steel are also sensitive to heat and it
weakens when it’s heated rapidly.
Because of its sensitivity to heat, it can’t be
galvanized. Therefore, corrosion protection
is crucial and essential after welding.

Also called plain-carbon steel, is the
most common form of steel because of
its price is low while it provides material
properties that are acceptable for
many applications, more so than iron.
Contains approximately 0.05-0.3%
carbon making it malleable and
ductile.

Mild steel has a relatively low
tensile strength, but its cheap
and malleable; surface hardness
can be increased by carburizing.
Note:
Carburizing is a heat treatment process in
which iron or steel absorbs carbon liberated
when the metal is heated in the presence of
carbon bearing material, such as charcoal
or carbon monoxide with the intent of
making the metal harder.

9. Carbon steels which can successfully
undergo heat treatment have a content in
the range of 0.3-1.7% by weight.
Medium carbon steel :- approximately 0.3-
0.59% carbon content. (Balances ductility
and strength and has good wear resistance).
High-carbon steel :- 0.6-0.99% carbon
content. (Very strong).
Ultra-high-carbon steel :- 1.0-2.0% carbon
content. (Steels that can be tempered to
great hardness).

Sheet Metal Forming Process
Large group of manufacturing
processes in which plastic deformation is
used to change the shape of metal
workpieces.
The tool, usually called a die, applies
stresses that exceed the yield
strength of the metal
The metal takes a shape determined
by the geometry of the die.

Stresses in Metal Forming
Stresses to plastically deform the
metal are usually compressive
Examples: rolling, forging, extrusion
However, some forming processes
Stretch the metal (tensile stresses)
Others bend the metal (tensile and
compressive)
Still others apply shear stresses
(shear spinning)

distinguishes these from bulk deformation.
Often called pressworking because presses perform these
operations. Parts are called stampings : Usual tooling: punch and
die. Forming on metal sheets, strips, and coils. The process is
normally a cold working process using a set of punch and die.
Bending - straining of a metal sheet to form an angle bend.
Drawing - forming a sheet into a hollow or concave shape.

Material Behavior in Metal Forming
Plastic region of stress-strain curve is
primary interest because material is
plastically deformed.
In plastic region, metal's behavior is
expressed by the flow curve : σ =Kϵn
where K = strength coefficient; and
n = strain hardening exponent.
Flow curve based on true stress and
true strain.

Flow Stress
For most metals at room
temperature, strength increases
when deformed due to strain
hardening.
Flow stress = instantaneous
value of stress required to
continue deforming the
material : Yf =Kϵn where Yf =
flow stress, that is, the yield
strength as a function of strain.

Hot Working
Deformation at temperatures above the recrystallization
temperature
Recrystallization temperature = about one-half of melting point on
absolute scale
In practice, hot working usually performed somewhat above 0.5Tm
Metal continues to soften as temperature increases above 0.5Tm,
enhancing advantage of hot working above this level

Why Hot Working
Capability for substantial plastic deformation - far more than is
possible with cold working or warm working
Why?
Strength coefficient (K) is substantially less than at room temperature
Strain hardening exponent (n) is zero (theoretically)
Ductility is significantly increased
32.

Isothermal Forming- A Type of Hot Forming
When highly alloyed metals such as Ti and Nickel alloys are heated
to hot temp and bring in contact with cold tooling, the heat
radiates from the metal to tooling. This result in high residual stresses
and temp variation over metal and hence irregular material flow
occurs during forming, causing cracks.
In order to avoid this problem, both metal and tooling are heated
to same temp. However, this causes reduction in tooling life.
** Mostly, Forging is performed through this process

Strain Rate Sensitivity
Theoretically, a metal in hot working behaves like a perfectly
plastic material, with strain hardening exponent n = 0
The metal should continue to flow at the same flow stress, once that
stress is reached
However, an additional phenomenon occurs during deformation,
especially at elevated temperatures:
Strain rate sensitivity
36.
Sheet Metal Working & Process
2/17/2016 Compiled & Edited by SIVARAMAN VELMURUGAN 36
What is Strain Rate?
Strain rate in forming is directly related to speed of deformation v
Deformation speed v = velocity of the ram or other movement of
the equipment
Strain rate is defined:
Where = true strain rate; and h = instantaneous height of
workpiece being deformed

Evaluation of Strain Rate
In most practical operations, valuation of strain rate is
complicated by
Workpart geometry
Variations in strain rate in different regions of the part
Strain rate can reach 1000 s-1 or more for some metal forming
operations.

Effect of Strain Rate on Flow Stress
Flow stress is a function of temperature
At hot working temperatures, flow stress also depends on strain
rate
As strain rate increases, resistance to deformation increases
This is the effect known as strain-rate sensitivity

Observations about Strain Rate Sensitivity
Increasing temperature decreases C and increases m
At room temperature, effect of strain rate is almost negligible

behavior
As temperature increases
Strain rate becomes increasingly important in determining flow
stress

Friction in Metal Forming
If the coefficient of friction becomes too large, a condition known
as STICKING occurs. Sticking in metal working is the tendency for the
two surfaces in relative motion to adhere to each other rather than
slide.
When Sticking Occurs?
The friction stress between the surfaces becomes higher than the shear flow stress
of the metal thus causing the material to deform by a shear process beneath the
surface rather than slip at the surface. Sticking is a prominent problem in forming
operations, especially rolling.

Bending is a metal forming process in which a force is applied to
a piece of sheet metal, causing it to bend at an angle and form
the desired shape.
Bending
2/17/2016 Compiled & Edited by SIVARAMAN VELMURUGAN 47
49. Two common bending methods are:
V-Bending
Edge bending
V-Bending - The sheet metal blank is
bent between a V-shaped punch
and die.
Air bending - If the punch does not
force the sheet to the bottom of the
die cavity, leaving space or air
underneath, it is called “air bending”.
Bending Types
2/17/2016 Compiled & Edited by SIVARAMAN VELMURUGAN 49
50.
Edge (or) Wipe Bending - Wipe
bending requires the sheet to be
held against the wipe die by a
pressure pad. The punch then presses
against the edge of the sheet that
extends beyond the die and pad.
The sheet will bend against the radius
of the edge of the wipe die.

Wrinkling in the flange
Occurs due to compressive buckling in
the circumferential direction (blank
holding force should be sufficient to
prevent buckling.
Wrinkling in the wall
Takes place when a wrinkled flange is
drawn into the cup or if the clearance is
very large, resulting in a large
suspended (unsupported) region.

Tearing
High tensile stresses that cause thinning
and failure of the metal in the cup wall.
If the die has a sharp corner radius.
Earring
When the material is anisotropic
Varying properties in different directions.
Surface scratches
If the punch and die are not smooth
If the lubrication of the process is poor.

Surface Cracking / Fir-tree cracking
High friction or speed.
Sticking of billet material on die land.
Material sticks, pressure increases,
product stops and starts to move
again.
produces circumferential cracks on
surface, similar to a bamboo
stem.(bambooing).

Internal Cracking/ Chevron cracking
Center of extrusion tends to develop
cracks of various shapes.
Center-burst, and arrowhead
Center cracking:
Increases with increasing die
angle.
Increases with impurities.
Decreases with increasing R and
friction.
