SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 
6.1 INTRODUCTION 
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
Sheet metalworking includes cutting and forming operations performed on 
relatively thin sheets of metal (0.4-6 mm). 
The tooling used to perform sheet metalwork is called punch and die. Most sheet 
metal operations are performed on machine tools called presses. 
The term stamping press is used to distinguish these presses from forging and 
extrusion presses. The sheet metal products are called stampings. 
The commercial importance of sheet metalworking is significant. 
The number of consumer and industrial products that include sheet metal parts: 
automobile and truck bodies, airplanes, railway cars and locomotives, farm 
and construction equipment, small and large appliances, office furniture, 
computers and office equipment, and more. Sheet metal parts are generally 
characterized by high strength, good dimensional tolerances, good surface finish, 
and relatively low cost.

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
Sheet-metal processing is usually performed at room temperatures (cold working). 
The exemptions are when the stock is thick, the metal is brittle, or the deformation 
is significant. 
These are usually cases of warm working rather than hot working.

The three major categories of sheet-metal processes: 
(1)cutting (shearing, blanking, piercing) 
(2)bending 
(3)drawing. 
Cutting is used to separate large sheets into smaller pieces, to cut out a part 
perimeter, or to make holes in a part. 
Bending and drawing are used to form sheet metal parts into their required 
shapes.

Blanking and punching 
Blanking and punching are similar sheet metal cutting operations that involve 
cutting the sheet metal along a closed outline. 
If the part that is cut out is the desired product, the operation is called blanking and 
the product is called blank. 
If the remaining stock is the desired part, the operation is called punching. Both 
operations are illustrated on the example of producing a washer:

The cutting of metal between die components is a shearing process in which the 
metal is stressed in shear between two cutting edges to the point of fracture, or 
beyond its ultimate strength. 
The metal is subjected to both tensile and compressive stresses; stretching beyond 
the elastic limit occurs; then plastic deformation, reduction in area, and, finally, 
fracturing starts and becomes complete.

Engineering analysis of metal cutting: 
Cutting of sheet metal is accomplished by a shearing action between two sharp edges. The 
shearing action is illustrated in the figure: 
Fig.6.3 Shearing 
work; 
(2) punch begins to push into 
work, causing plastic 
deformation; 
(3) punch compresses and 
penetrates into work, causing 
a smooth cut surface; and 
(4) fracture is initiated at the 
opposing cutting edges that 
separate the sheet. 
Symbols v and F indicate motion 
and applied force, respectively.
02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
At the top of the cut surface is a region 
called the rollover. This corresponds to 
the depression made by the punch in the 
work prior to cutting. It is where initial 
plastic deformation occured in the work. 
Just below the rollover is a relatively small 
region called the burnish. This results 
from penetration of the punch into the 
work before fracture began. 
Beneath the burnish is the fractured 
zone, a relatively rough surface of the cut 
edge where continued downward 
movement of the punch caused fracture of 
the metal. 
Finally, at the bottom of the edge is a 
burr, a sharp corner on the edge caused 
by elongation of the metal during final 
seperation of the two pieces.
Process parameters in sheet metal cutting are clearence between punch and die, 
stock thickness, type of metal and its strength and length of the cut 
Clearance c in a shearing operation is the space between the mating members of a 
die set (e.g.punch and die). 
For optimum finish of cut edge, proper clearance is necessary and is a function 
of the kind, thickness, and hardness of the work material. 
In an ideal cutting operation the punch penetrates the material to a depth equal to 
about 1/3 of its thickness before fracture occurs, and forces an equal portion of 
the material into the die opening. 
Common die clearances (linear clearance) are 2-5% of the material thickness. 
Angular clearance is gradient given to the hole in the die such that cut material will 
easily be removed. Angular clearance is usually ground from 0.25⁰ to 1.5⁰ per side.

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
The correct clearance depends on sheet-metal type and thickness t: 
c = a*t 
where a is the allowance (a = 0.075 for steels and 0.060 for aluminum alloys). 
If the clearance is not set correctly, either an excessive force or an oversized burr 
can occur: 
Fig.6.7 Effect of clearance: 
(Left) clearance too small 
causes less than optimal 
fracture and excessive forces, 
and (Right) clearance too 
large causes oversized burr.

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
Figure (a) Effect of the clearance, c, between punch and die on the 
deformation zone in shearing. 
As the clearance increases, the material tends to be pulled into the die rather 
than be sheared. In practice, clearances usually range between 2% and 10% of 
the thickness of the sheet. (b) Microhardness (HV) contours for a 6.4-mm (0.25-

The calculated clearance value must be; 
-substracted from the die punch diameter for blanking operations or 
-added to die hole diameter for punching:

For example to produce a hole of 20mmX20mm in a material 2mm in 
thickness with 40 kg/mm2 shear strength:

6.2.3 TOOLS AND DIES FOR CUTTING OPERATIONS 
When the die is designed to perform a single operation (for example, cutting, 
blanking, or punching) with each stroke of the press, it is referred to as a simple 
die:

6.2.4 CENTRE OF PRESSURE 
Sheet metal part that to be blanked is of irregular shape the summation of 
shearing forces on one side of the center of the ram may greatly exceed the 
forces on the other side. This result in bending and undesirable deflections might 
happen. Center of pressure is a point, which the summation of shearing forces 
will be symmetrical. This point is the center of gravity of the line that is the 
perimeter of the blank. It is not the center of gravity of the area.

and the cutting force is; 
P= LtS 189.8mmx2mmx40kg/mm2 =15184 kg
Since cutting operations are characterized by very high forces exerted over very 
short periods of time, it is some times desirable to reduce the force and spread it 
over a longer portion of the ram stroke. 
Two methods are frequently used to reduce cutting forces and to smooth out the 
heavy loads.

6.2.5 REDUCING CUTTING FORCES 
1. Step the punch lengths; the load may thus be reduced approx. 50%. 
2. Tapering the punch; grind the face of the punch or die at a small shear angle 
with the horizontal. This has the effect of reducing the area in shear at any time, 
and may reduce cutting force as much as 50%. The angle chosen should 
provide a change in punch length of about 1.5 times of material thickness. It is 
usually preferable to a double cut to prevent setup of lateral force components.

6.4 BENDING 
02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL 
WORKING PROCESSES 
29 
Bending is defined as the straining of the sheet metal around a straight edge: 
Fig.6.15 Bending of sheet metal
02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL 
WORKING PROCESSES 
30 
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
Bending operations involve the processes of V-bending and edge bending: 
Fig.6.16 (Left) V-bending, and (Right) edge bending; (1) before and (2) after bending 
•V-bending—sheet metal is bent along a straight line between a V-shape punch and die. 
•Edge bending—bending of the cantilever part of the sheet around the die edge.
Bending is the process by which a straight length is transformed into a curved 
length. It is a very common forming process for changing sheet and plate into 
channel, tanks, etc. 
For a given bending operation the bend radius can not be made smaller than a 
certain value, otherwise the metal will crack on the outer tensile surface. Minimum 
bend radius is usually expressed in multiples of the sheets thickness. It varies 
considerable between different metal and always increases with cold working. Bend 
radius is not less than 1 mm and for high strength sheet alloys the minimum bend 
radius may be 5t or higher.

This is the stretching length that occurs 
during bending. It must be accounted to 
determine the length of the blank,

Another common problem is springback. It is the dimensional change of the formed

The commonest method of compensating for springback is to bend the part to a 
smaller radius of curvature than is desired so that after springback the part has 
the proper radius. 
Springback is the elastic recovery leading to the increase of the included angle 
when the bending pressure is removed. 
To compensate for springback two methods are commonly used: 
1. Overbending—the punch angle and radius are smaller than the final ones. 
2. Bottoming—squeezing the part at the end of the stroke.

6.5 DEEP DRAWING (Derin Çekme) 
02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL 
WORKING PROCESSES 
37 
Deep drawing is the metal working 
process used for shaping flat sheets 
into cup-shaped articles such as 
bathtubs, shell cases, and 
automobile fenders. Generally a hold 
down or pressure pad is required to 
press the blank against the die to 
prevent wrinkling. Optional pressure 
pad from the bottom may also be 
used.

39 
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
In the deep drawing of a cup the metal 
is subjected to three different types of 
deformations. In the flange part, as it is 
drawn in, the outer circumference must 
continuously decrease from that of the 
original blank pDo to that of the finish 
cup pDp. This means that it is 
subjected to a compressive strain in the 
hoop (tangential) direction and a tensile 
strain in the radial direction. As a result 
of these principal strains, there is a 
continual increase in the thickness as 
the metal moves inward. However, as 
the metal pass over the die radius, it is 
first bend and then straightened while 
at the same time being subjected to a 
tensile stress. This plastic bending 
under tension results in considerable 
thinning. Punch region is under very 
little stress.

during deep drawing of a cup shaped part
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
Clearance 
Clearance c is the distance between the punch and die and is about 10% greater 
than the stock thickness:

Holding force 
The improper application of the holding force can cause severe defects in the 
drawn parts such as (a) flange wrinkling or (b) wall wrinkling if the holding force is 
too small, and (c) tearing if the folding force is overestimated.

The force on the punch required to produce a cup is the summation of the ideal 
force of deformation, the frictional forces, and the force required to produce 
ironing. Mathematical calculation of the drawing force is very complex. Following 
approximate equation is developed:

d = punch diameter, D = blank diameter, 
H = hold drawn force, B = force required to bend, 
t = wall thickness, m = coefficient of friction, 
h = efficiency

The drawability of a metal is measured by the ratio of the blank diameter to the 
diameter of the cup drawn from the blank (usually accepted as punch diameter). For 
a given material there is a Limiting Drawing Ratio (LDR), representing the largest 
blank that can be drawn through a die without tearing.

Where, h is an efficiency term to account for frictional losses. If h=1, then LDR=2.7 
while h=0.7, LDR»2 which is used in most practical applications. 
Some of the practical considerations which affect drawability: 
Rd» 10t 
Rp» should be big enough to prevent tearing. 
Clearance between punch and die; 20 to 40% greater than “t”. 
Hold-down pressure; 2% of so and lubricate die walls 
The diameter of blank required to draw a given cup may be obtained approximately 
by equating surface areas.

WORKING PROCESSES 
43 
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
If the shape change required by the part design is too severe (limiting drawing ratio is 
too high, or LDR is not sufficient to form a desired cup), complete forming of the part 
require more than one drawing step. The second drawing step and any further 
drawing steps if needed, are referred to as redrawing. Throat angle is 10°-15°. 
Redrawing is generally done in decreasing ratios as given below: 
(D/d)= 1.43, 1.33, 1.25, 1.19, 1.14 and 1.11. 
If these redrawing steps are not enough to reach required cup diameter, annealing 
have to be performed and then redrawing can be performed.

Therefore annealing should be applied. But it might be better to anneal the blank 
before 6th draw to reduce number of redraws. We know that LDR=2. So that if 
annealing is performed after 3rd draw where D3 = 84.13 mm, than ratio to reach 
required cup diameter is: 
1.68 
50 
Therefore, after 3rd draw, blank is annealed and then redraw with a ratio of 1.68 to 
obtain required cup diameter. The required number of drawing is then 4.

Examples of equipment and products manufactured by the Guerin process: 
Fig.6.28 Rubber pad press showing 
forming tools on the press table 
Fig.6.29 A large number of different components 
can be made simultaneously during one press cycle 
with rubber pad presses 
Advantages: small cost of tooling 
Limitations: for relatively shallow shapes 
Area of application: small-quantity production

It is similar to Guerin process but instead of rubber pad a rubber diaphragm 
filled with fluid is used: 
Fig.6.30 Hydroform process: 
(1) start-up, no fluid in the cavity; 
(2) press closed, cavity pressurized 
with hydraulic fluid; 
(3) punch pressed into work to form 
part. 
Symbols: 
v - velocity, 
F – applied force, and 
p - hydraulic pressure

Spinning 
Spinning is a metal forming process in which an axially symmetric part is gradually 
shaped over a mandrel by means of a rounded tool or roller: 
02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL 
WORKING PROCESSES 
50 
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 
FFiigg..66..3322 In spinning operation, flat circular blanks are often formed into hollow shapes such 
as photographic reflectors. In a lathe, tool is forced against a rotating disk, gradually forcing 
the metal over the chuck to conform to its shape. Chucks and follow blocks are usually 
made of wood for this operation 
Advantages: small cost of tooling, large parts (up to 5 m or more) 
Limitations: only axially symmetric parts 
Area of application: small-quantity production
HIGH-ENERGY-RATE FORMING (HERF) 
These are metal forming processes in which large amount of energy is applied in a 
very short time. Some of the most important HREF operations include: 
Explosive forming 
It involves the use of an explosive charge placed in water to form sheet into the die cavity.

Advantages: small cost of tooling, large parts 
Limitations: skilled and experienced labor 
Area of application: large parts typical of the aerospace industry
Electrohydraulic forming 
This is a HREF process in which a shock wave to deform the work into a die cavity is 
generated by the discharge of electrical energy between two electrodes submerged in 
water. Similar to explosive forming, but applied only to small part sizes.

  • 1. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 1 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 6.1 INTRODUCTION ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II Sheet metalworking includes cutting and forming operations performed on relatively thin sheets of metal (0.4-6 mm). The tooling used to perform sheet metalwork is called punch and die. Most sheet metal operations are performed on machine tools called presses. The term stamping press is used to distinguish these presses from forging and extrusion presses. The sheet metal products are called stampings. The commercial importance of sheet metalworking is significant. The number of consumer and industrial products that include sheet metal parts: automobile and truck bodies, airplanes, railway cars and locomotives, farm and construction equipment, small and large appliances, office furniture, computers and office equipment, and more. Sheet metal parts are generally characterized by high strength, good dimensional tolerances, good surface finish, and relatively low cost.
  • 2. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 2 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II Sheet-metal processing is usually performed at room temperatures (cold working). The exemptions are when the stock is thick, the metal is brittle, or the deformation is significant. These are usually cases of warm working rather than hot working.
  • 3. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 3 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II The three major categories of sheet-metal processes: (1)cutting (shearing, blanking, piercing) (2)bending (3)drawing. Cutting is used to separate large sheets into smaller pieces, to cut out a part perimeter, or to make holes in a part. Bending and drawing are used to form sheet metal parts into their required shapes. Fig.6.1 Some cutting operations

  • 7. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 7 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II Blanking and punching Blanking and punching are similar sheet metal cutting operations that involve cutting the sheet metal along a closed outline. If the part that is cut out is the desired product, the operation is called blanking and the product is called blank. If the remaining stock is the desired part, the operation is called punching. Both operations are illustrated on the example of producing a washer: Starting stock produced by shearing operation from a big metal sheet Fig.6.4 Steps in production of washer

Blanking punch diameter= Db-2c Blanking die diameter= Db 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 8 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II The cutting of metal between die components is a shearing process in which the metal is stressed in shear between two cutting edges to the point of fracture, or beyond its ultimate strength. The metal is subjected to both tensile and compressive stresses; stretching beyond the elastic limit occurs; then plastic deformation, reduction in area, and, finally, fracturing starts and becomes complete.

Shearing of sheet metal between two cutting edges: (1) just before the punch contacts 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 10 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II Engineering analysis of metal cutting: Cutting of sheet metal is accomplished by a shearing action between two sharp edges. The shearing action is illustrated in the figure: Fig.6.3 Shearing work; (2) punch begins to push into work, causing plastic deformation; (3) punch compresses and penetrates into work, causing a smooth cut surface; and (4) fracture is initiated at the opposing cutting edges that separate the sheet. Symbols v and F indicate motion and applied force, respectively.
  • 11. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 11 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II At the top of the cut surface is a region called the rollover. This corresponds to the depression made by the punch in the work prior to cutting. It is where initial plastic deformation occured in the work. Just below the rollover is a relatively small region called the burnish. This results from penetration of the punch into the work before fracture began. Beneath the burnish is the fractured zone, a relatively rough surface of the cut edge where continued downward movement of the punch caused fracture of the metal. Finally, at the bottom of the edge is a burr, a sharp corner on the edge caused by elongation of the metal during final seperation of the two pieces.
  • 12. Process parameters in sheet metal cutting are clearence between punch and die, stock thickness, type of metal and its strength and length of the cut Clearance c in a shearing operation is the space between the mating members of a die set (e.g.punch and die). For optimum finish of cut edge, proper clearance is necessary and is a function of the kind, thickness, and hardness of the work material. In an ideal cutting operation the punch penetrates the material to a depth equal to about 1/3 of its thickness before fracture occurs, and forces an equal portion of the material into the die opening. Common die clearances (linear clearance) are 2-5% of the material thickness. Angular clearance is gradient given to the hole in the die such that cut material will easily be removed. Angular clearance is usually ground from 0.25⁰ to 1.5⁰ per side. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 12 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 6.2.1. Engineering Analysis_CLEARANCE
  • 13. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 13 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II The correct clearance depends on sheet-metal type and thickness t: c = a*t where a is the allowance (a = 0.075 for steels and 0.060 for aluminum alloys). If the clearance is not set correctly, either an excessive force or an oversized burr can occur: Fig.6.7 Effect of clearance: (Left) clearance too small causes less than optimal fracture and excessive forces, and (Right) clearance too large causes oversized burr.
  • 14. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 14 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II Figure (a) Effect of the clearance, c, between punch and die on the deformation zone in shearing. As the clearance increases, the material tends to be pulled into the die rather than be sheared. In practice, clearances usually range between 2% and 10% of the thickness of the sheet. (b) Microhardness (HV) contours for a 6.4-mm (0.25- in) thick AISI 1020 hot-rolled steel in the sheared region.

In blanking, the punch diameter is decreased to account for clearance. D is the nominal size of the final product.

This result in bending and undesirable deflections might happen. Center of pressure is a point, which the summation of shearing forces will be symmetrical.

  • 24. Since cutting operations are characterized by very high forces exerted over very short periods of time, it is some times desirable to reduce the force and spread it over a longer portion of the ram stroke. Two methods are frequently used to reduce cutting forces and to smooth out the heavy loads. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 24 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II 6.2.5 REDUCING CUTTING FORCES 1. Step the punch lengths; the load may thus be reduced approx. 50%. 2. Tapering the punch; grind the face of the punch or die at a small shear angle with the horizontal. This has the effect of reducing the area in shear at any time, and may reduce cutting force as much as 50%. The angle chosen should provide a change in punch length of about 1.5 times of material thickness. It is usually preferable to a double cut to prevent setup of lateral force components.

  • 30. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 30 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II Bending operations involve the processes of V-bending and edge bending: Fig.6.16 (Left) V-bending, and (Right) edge bending; (1) before and (2) after bending •V-bending—sheet metal is bent along a straight line between a V-shape punch and die. •Edge bending—bending of the cantilever part of the sheet around the die edge.
  • 31. Bending is the process by which a straight length is transformed into a curved length. It is a very common forming process for changing sheet and plate into channel, tanks, etc. For a given bending operation the bend radius can not be made smaller than a certain value, otherwise the metal will crack on the outer tensile surface. Minimum bend radius is usually expressed in multiples of the sheets thickness. It varies considerable between different metal and always increases with cold working. Bend radius is not less than 1 mm and for high strength sheet alloys the minimum bend radius may be 5t or higher. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 31 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II R - bend radius BA - bend allowance a - bend angle L0 - original length t - sheet thickness Lf > L0 Lf=L1+L2+BA Rmin>5t practical

  • 34. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 34 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II The commonest method of compensating for springback is to bend the part to a smaller radius of curvature than is desired so that after springback the part has the proper radius. Springback is the elastic recovery leading to the increase of the included angle when the bending pressure is removed. To compensate for springback two methods are commonly used: 1. Overbending—the punch angle and radius are smaller than the final ones. 2. Bottoming—squeezing the part at the end of the stroke.

Generally a hold down or pressure pad is required to press the blank against the die to prevent wrinkling. Optional pressure pad from the bottom may also be used.

  • 39. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 39 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II In the deep drawing of a cup the metal is subjected to three different types of deformations. In the flange part, as it is drawn in, the outer circumference must continuously decrease from that of the original blank pDo to that of the finish cup pDp. This means that it is subjected to a compressive strain in the hoop (tangential) direction and a tensile strain in the radial direction. As a result of these principal strains, there is a continual increase in the thickness as the metal moves inward. However, as the metal pass over the die radius, it is first bend and then straightened while at the same time being subjected to a tensile stress. This plastic bending under tension results in considerable thinning. Punch region is under very little stress. Fig.6.23 Types of deformations in different region during deep drawing of a cup shaped part

Following approximate equation is developed: P dt( ) n D ( ) d H d D e B o = + æè ç öø ÷ é ë ê ù û ú where; P = total punch load, so= average flow stress, d = punch diameter, D = blank diameter, H = hold drawn force, B = force required to bend, t = wall thickness, m = coefficient of friction, h = efficiency Drawing force may be calculated for practical purposes by: P dt o =s p when LDR » 2 (Limiting Drawing Ratio)

For a given material there is a Limiting Drawing Ratio (LDR), representing the largest blank that can be drawn through a die without tearing. eh d » æ Where, h is an efficiency term to account for frictional losses. If h=1, then LDR=2.7 while h=0.7, LDR»2 which is used in most practical applications.

The second drawing step and any further drawing steps if needed, are referred to as redrawing. Throat angle is 10°-15°. Redrawing is generally done in decreasing ratios as given below: (D/d)= 1.43, 1.33, 1.25, 1.19, 1.14 and 1.11. If these redrawing steps are not enough to reach required cup diameter, annealing have to be performed and then redrawing can be performed. Fig.6.26 Redrawing of a cup

  • 50. Spinning Spinning is a metal forming process in which an axially symmetric part is gradually shaped over a mandrel by means of a rounded tool or roller: 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 50 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II FFiigg..66..3322 In spinning operation, flat circular blanks are often formed into hollow shapes such as photographic reflectors. In a lathe, tool is forced against a rotating disk, gradually forcing the metal over the chuck to conform to its shape. Chucks and follow blocks are usually made of wood for this operation Advantages: small cost of tooling, large parts (up to 5 m or more) Limitations: only axially symmetric parts Area of application: small-quantity production
  • 51. HIGH-ENERGY-RATE FORMING (HERF) These are metal forming processes in which large amount of energy is applied in a very short time. Some of the most important HREF operations include: Explosive forming It involves the use of an explosive charge placed in water to form sheet into the die cavity. 02/11/14 CHAPTER 6 SHEET METAL WORKING PROCESSES 51 ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II FFiigg..66..3333 Explosive forming: (1) set-up, (2) explosive is detonated, and (3) shock wave forms part
