Stretch forming operations
Stretch forming is a manufacturing process where sheet metal is stretched and bent simultaneously over a die to form large contoured parts. It is performed on a stretch press, where the sheet metal is gripped along the edges by jaws attached to carriages that stretch the sheet against a contoured form die. Special forming processes include hydro forming, where hydraulic fluid acts as a flexible die; rubber pad forming, where sheet metal is pressed between a die and rubber block; and metal spinning, where force is applied to sheet metal wrapped over a rotating mandrel to take its shape.

STRETCH FORMING Apiece of sheet metal is stretched and bent simultaneously over a die in order to form large contoured parts Stretch forming is performed on a stretch press, in which a piece of sheet metal is securely gripped along its edges by gripping jaws The gripping jaws are each attached to a carriage that is pulled by pneumatic or hydraulic force to stretch the sheet The tooling used in this process is a stretch form block, called a form die, which is a solid contoured piece against which the sheet metal will be pressed. 07-02-2019 05:46 3

METAL SPINNING… Metalspinning, also called conventional spinning or just spinning, is the forming of an axis-symmetric part over a rotating mandrel Force is delivered by a tool with a rounded end or a roller A flat, or possibly preformed, work piece is held between a mandrel and tail stock As the apparatus rotates, the tool applies localized pressure to the work while it gradually moves up the mandrel This causes the sheet metal work to be wrapped over the mandrel, thus taking its shape Metal spinning is commonly performed cold, but in some cases parts may be subject to warm or hot spinning 07-02-2019 05:46 10
