With the current tendency of mass production towards customer-oriented serial production,
blanking processes are facing new challenges. They require an increase in knowledge …

Even after the development of various non-conventional processes for sheet metal cutting,
the shearing process remains the most preferred process in mass production. Several …

Wear and friction characteristics are simulated on metal forming tools with tailored surfaces
generated by micro-milling. Friction homogenisation is applied to study surface cut-outs on …

This work presents a combination of finite element simulations of copper alloy thin sheet
blanking and a wear algorithm based on Archard formulation for abrasive wear of the punch …

High-pressure valves are an essential infrastructure for hydrogen refueling stations, and the
issue of safety and reliability of their operation affects the efficiency of the entire hydrogen …

Cemented carbide tools are extensively used in the zipper industry, including shearing of a
pre-formed Cu15Zn wire into individual zipper elements. Although the work material is …

Edge passivation of the punch is a common phenomenon that is induced by wear and which
would affect tool life and part quality. To investigate the edge passivation of fine-blanking …

Shear-cutting is one of the most important manufacturing processes involving sheet metal.
The local pressure on the tools as well as the sliding speed between tools and work piece …

Investigating the shear zone temperature is one of the major challenges in the study of high-
speed blanking in thick sheet metals. Several studies have shown that a clear temperature …

An extrusion-type fine blanking with a negative clearance was proposed by the authors
instead of standard fine blanking for creating a full-sheared surface in the micro blanking …
