Sheet Metal Department Sign

This is a black and white photograph of a sign for the Sheet Metal Department of the New York Trade School likely created by the department. It contains ornate metal work and displays the year 1938, probably the beginning year of the Sheet Metal Department.

Analysis of springback variation in sheet metal forming

This thesis investigated how the variation in inputs, such as material and processing conditions affected the shape defect phenomenon (springback) for sheet metal forming processes. Using a stochastic Finite Element modelling tool, it was found that the material type and fluctuations in material properties significantly influenced the variation in springback.

Investigation on the forming behaviour of metal/polymer laminates

A metal/polymer laminate is a new light weight sheet material suitable to replace conventional steel or aluminium sheet in future car designs. In this study the effect of material composition and process conditions on the forming behaviour of metal/polymer laminates in sheet metal forming was investigated by experimental, analytical and numerical methods.

Springback behaviour of TRIP steels in sheet metal forming

Examines the methods for numerical modelling of the springback effect in TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) steels under conditions of various bending processes. It represents a largely unexplored part of the TRIP steel literature and therefore makes a valuable contribution toward a practical approach to predicting springback in TRIP steels.

Robust surface practices for sheet metal forming dies

Examines the use of surface coatings in stamping using an overall systems approach. The effects of die coating surface properties on friction, wear and part strain, have been studied in-plant with an emphasis on optimising the tool coating system to provide robust sheet metal forming procedures.

An analysis of the effect of process parameters on the formability of sheet metal

This investigation is in two parts, theory and experimental verification. (1) Theoretical Study In this study it is, for obvious reasons, necessary to analyse the concept of formability first. For the purpose of the present investigation it is sufficient to define the four aspects of formability as follows: (a) the formability of the material at a critical section, (b) the formability of the material in general, (c) process efficiency, (d) proportional increase in surface area. A method of quantitative assessment is proposed for each of the four aspects of formability. The theoretical study also includes the distinction between coaxial and non-coaxial strains which occur, respectively, in axisymmetrical and unsymmetrical forming processes and the inadequacy of the circular grid system for the assessment of formability is explained in the light of this distinction. (2) Experimental Study As one of the bases of the experimental work, the determination of the end point of a forming process, which sets the limit to the formability of the work material, is discussed. The effects of three process parameters on draw-in are shown graphically. Then the delay of fracture in sheet metal forming resulting from draw-in is analysed in kinematical terms, namely, through the radial displacements, the radial and the circumferential strains, and the projected thickness of the workpiece. Through the equilibrium equation of the membrane stresses, the effect on the shape of the unsupported region of the workpiece, and hence the position of the critical section is explained. Then, the effect of draw-in on the four aspects of formability is discussed throughout this investigation. The triangular coordinate system is used to present and analyse the triaxial strains involved. This coordinate system has the advantage of showing all the three principal strains in a material simultaneously, as well as representing clearly the many types of strains involved in sheet metal work.
