Abstract:
Blanking process is continuously used in mass production of sheet metal parts. Part is cut between punch & die in a press tool by means of physical process called shearing operation. Research work is done to investigate the effect of quality parameters which are affecting the blanking operation & their interaction. This helps to select the process leading parameters for similar work piece manufactured from two different materials blanked with suitable quality. Finite element method & taguchi method approach are useful in order to achieve required objective of project. Combination of these two techniques provides good solution for the optimization of sheet metal blanking process. Study help to evaluate the influence of tool clearance, sheet material thickness & sheet material thus optimizing clearance which affect other blanking process parameters. Work also investigates that before manufacturing blanking die it is useful to do Finite element analysis to know the parameters effect & go for feasible & result oriented design. The result from Taguchi method & finite element method is then validated with physically design blanking die.
