This paper describes a research work of developing a computer-aided design of product with bending and piercing for progressive working. An approach to the CAD system is based on the knowledge-based rules. Knowledge fur the CAD system is formulated from plasticity theories, experimental results and the empirical knowledge of field experts. The system has been written in AutoLISP on the AutoCAD with a personal computer and is composed of three main modules, which are input and shape treatment, flat pattern layout and strip layout module. Based on knowledge-based rules, the system is designed by considering several factors, such as radius and angle of bend, material and thickness of product, complexities of blank geometry and punch profile, bending sequence, and availability of press. Strip layout drawing automatically generated by piercing with punch profiles divided into for external area is simulated in 3-D graphic forms, including bending sequences for the product with piercing and bending. Results obtained using the modules enable the manufacturer of electronic products to be more efficient in this field.

During the tube hydropiercing, the region adjacent to the pierced hole will be deformed and will be drawn away from the die block as the punch advances through the wall of the tube. The deformation in the region may range from a substantially flat form to a countersunk form, so called rollover. In this study, the effects of material properties, shape of piercing punches, roundness of tube surface and internal pressure within the tube during piercing on the rollover have been investigated experimentally. The results provide the quantitative variation of rollover at given hydropiercing parameters, and a relationship between the deformed radius and the rollover caused by the deformation has been established.

Deformation surrounding the hole in the tube during the hydropiercing process has been investigated in this study. The tube is expanded and internally pressurized between upper and lower dies, and a piercing punch is driven forcefully through a cross passage in the die and through the wall of the tube. The pressurized fluid within the tube provides support to the wall of the tube during a piercing step to form a hole in the tube having less deformation surrounding the hole in the tube. The deformation area may be fully retracted to a substantially flat form or partially retracted to a countersunk form. In this study, a mathematical model that can predict deformation surrounding the hole has been proposed and experimentally verified by actual hydropiercing test.

Blanking processing is one of the shear processing method in which the cut part becomes a product and piercing processing is a press molding process in which the cut part is discarded as a scrap. The shear angle of the punch used for blanking is determined by conditions such as the characteristics of the shear material, shear thickness and shear length. The shear angle of a punch is an important factor in determining the size of the shear load, the life of the shear punch, the deformation of the shear product and the quality of burrs In this study, blanking punches applied with four types of shear angles (i.e., 0°, 0°23", 0°46", 0°69") to the blanking punches of bracket products used in practical work were manufactured and tested. In the blanking experiment, the remaining variables except for the shear angle were the same. Experiments show that the product has the least amount of deformation in blanking punches with a shear angle equal to the material thickness, i.e., 0°46"..

The overdrive hub clutch is attached to a 6-speed automatic transmission to reduce fuel consumption by using the additional power of the engine. This paper proposes a means to minimize the load and roll-over ratio on the punch during the piercing process for the overdrive hub clutch product. Die clearance, shear angle, and friction coefficient, which can affect the load and roll-over ratio of the punch during processing, were set as the design variables. Sensitivity analysis was also conducted to determine the influence of each design variable on the punch load and roll-over ratio. As a result, shear angle, friction coefficient and die clearance were found to be sensitive to load and roll-over ratio. The punch load and roll-over ratio were set as the objective function and the equation of each design variable and objective function was derives using the Response Surface Method. Finally, the optimal value of the design variables was derived using the Response Surface Method. Application of this model to finite element analysis resulted in 22.14% improvement in the roll-over ratio of the punch load and material.

This paper describes a research work of developing a computer-aided design of irregularly shaped-sheet metal product with bending and piercing operation for progressive working. An approach to the CAD system is based on the knowledge-based rules. Knowledge for the CAD system is formulated from plasticity theories, experimental results and the empirical knowledge of field experts. The system has been written in AutoLISP on the AutoCAD with a personal computer and is composed of five main modules, which are input and shape treatment, flat pattern-layout, production feasibility check, blank-layout, and strip-layout module. Based on knowledge-based rules, the system is designed by considering several factors, such as radius and angle of bend, material and thickness of product, complexities of blank geometry and punch profile, and availability of press. This system is capable of unfolding a formed sheet metal part to give flat pattern and automatically account for the adjustment of bend allowances to match tooling requirements by checking dimensions and the best utilization ratio of blank-layout within bending production feasibility area which is beyond ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ degrees intersecting angle between grain flow and bending edge line and which is suitable to progressive bending operation. Also the strip-layout drawing generated by a bending and a piercing operation according to punch profiles divided into automatically for external area of irregularly shaped-sheet metal product is displayed in graphic forms.

Self-piercing rivet is sheet joining method. It is being used more to join aluminum alloy sheets. Self-piercing riveting is a large-deformation process that involves piercing. The self-piercing rivet, under the press from the punch, pierces the top sheet and forms a mechanical interlock with the bottom sheet. In this study, forging process was designed for manufacturing self-piercing rivet. The forging process has been simulated by using commercial FEM code DEFORM-2D. In simulation of forging process for manufacturing rivet, process sequence, formability, forging load, and distributions of stress and strain were investigated. The suitable forging process could be designed by comparisons of simulation results. The developed process consists of four stages: upsetting, first chamfering, back extrusion, and second chamfering. The simulated results for forging process were confirmed by experimental trials with the same conditions.

Marking is a process that engraves letters or a pattern onto the surface of sheet metal. During marking, it is important to set the proper working conditions for clarity of the letters. In this study a simple case for forming circular protrusions by half-piercing and embossing was initially attempted to determine the working conditions which gave good results with respect to shape accuracy. Corner-radius and flatness of circular protrusions made under several experimental conditions were measured and compared. It is shown that the precision of protrusions by half-piercing is superior to that of embossing, and the clearance between punch and die exerts a strong influence on the shape accuracy rather than the penetration percentage into the thickness of the sheet metal. The marking dies for "SNUT" letters, as an example, by applying the above results were manufactured with four different clearances. The working variables for the experiment were clearance and marking depth. For the very shallow depth of 0.1mm the letters were not clearly read. Letters marked under other conditions were easily distinguished with increasing marking depth. It was confirmed that the half-piercing technique with proper values of the working variables gives good quality for the marking of sheet metal.
