This study aims at the improvement on the process and die set required for forming of flanged two-piece thrust engine bearings form laminated sheet blanks. Several suggestions are made to reduce the number of forming or subsequent machining processes or to improve the dimensional precision of formed products. The results of finite element analysis show the design suggested in this study are useful and applicable to the forming process of flanged bearings.
