沖壓是利用安裝在沖壓設(shè)備（主要是壓力機(jī)）上的模具對(duì)材料施加壓力，使其產(chǎn)生分離或塑性變形，從而獲得所需零件（俗稱沖壓或沖壓件）的一種壓力加工方法。沖壓通常是在常溫下對(duì)材料進(jìn)行冷變形加工，且主要采用板料來加工成所需零件，所以也叫冷沖壓或板料沖壓。沖壓是材料壓力加工或塑性加工的主要方法之一，隸屬于材料成型工程術(shù)。 沖壓所使用的模具稱為沖壓模具，簡(jiǎn)稱沖模。沖模是將材料（金屬或非金屬）批量加工成所需沖件的專用工具。沖模在沖壓中至關(guān)重要，沒有符合要求的沖模，批量沖壓生產(chǎn)就難以進(jìn)行；沒有先進(jìn)的沖模，先進(jìn)的沖壓工藝就無法實(shí)現(xiàn)。沖壓工藝與模具、沖壓設(shè)備和沖壓材料構(gòu)成沖壓加工的三要素，只有它們相互結(jié)合才能得出沖壓件。 與機(jī)械加工及塑性加工的其它方法相比，沖壓加工無論在技術(shù)方面還是經(jīng)濟(jì)方面都具有許多獨(dú)特的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。主要表現(xiàn)如下。 (1) 沖壓加工的生產(chǎn)效率高，且操作方便，易于實(shí)現(xiàn)機(jī)械化與自動(dòng)化。這是因?yàn)闆_壓是依靠沖模和沖壓設(shè)備來完成加工，普通壓力機(jī)的行程次數(shù)為每分鐘可達(dá)幾十次，高速壓力要每分鐘可達(dá)數(shù)百次甚至千次以上，而且每次沖壓行程就可能得到一個(gè)沖件。 （2）沖壓時(shí)由于模具保證了沖壓件的尺寸與形狀精度，且一般不破壞沖壓件的表面質(zhì)量,而模具的壽命一般較長,所以沖壓的質(zhì)量穩(wěn)定,互換性好,具有“一模一樣”的特征。 （3）沖壓可加工出尺寸范圍較大、形狀較復(fù)雜的零件，如小到鐘表的秒表，大到汽車縱梁、覆蓋件等，加上沖壓時(shí)材料的冷變形硬化效應(yīng)，沖壓的強(qiáng)度和剛度均較高。 （4）沖壓一般沒有切屑碎料生成，材料的消耗較少，且不需其它加熱設(shè)備，因而是一種省料，節(jié)能的加工方法，沖壓件的成本較低。 但是，沖壓加工所使用的模具一般具有專用性，有時(shí)一個(gè)復(fù)雜零件需要數(shù)套模具才能加工成形，且模具 制造的精度高，技術(shù)要求高，是技術(shù)密集形產(chǎn)品。所以，只有在沖壓件生產(chǎn)批量較大的情況下，沖壓加工的優(yōu)點(diǎn)才能充分體現(xiàn)，從而獲得較好的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。 沖壓地、在現(xiàn)代工業(yè)生產(chǎn)中，尤其是大批量生產(chǎn)中應(yīng)用十分廣泛。相當(dāng)多的工業(yè)部門越來越多地采用沖壓法加工產(chǎn)品零部件，如汽車、農(nóng)機(jī)、儀器、儀表、電子、航空、航天、家電及輕工等行業(yè)。在這些工業(yè)部門中，沖壓件所占的比重都相當(dāng)?shù)拇?，少則60%以上，多則90%以上。不少過去用鍛造=鑄造和切削加工方法制造的零件，現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)也被質(zhì)量輕、剛度好的沖壓件所代替。因此可以說，如果生產(chǎn)中不諒采用沖壓工藝，許多工業(yè)部門要提高生產(chǎn)效率和產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量、降低生產(chǎn)成本、快速進(jìn)行產(chǎn)品更新?lián)Q代等都是難以實(shí)現(xiàn) 的。 1.2 沖壓的基本工序及模具 由于沖壓加工的零件種類繁多，各類零件的形狀、尺寸和精度要求又各不相同，因而生產(chǎn)中采用的沖壓工藝方法也是多種多樣的。概括起來，可分為分離工序和成形工序兩大類；分離工序是指使坯料沿一定的輪廓線分離而獲得一定形狀、尺寸和斷面質(zhì)量的沖壓（俗稱沖裁件）的工序；成形工序是指使坯料在不破裂的條件下產(chǎn)生塑性變形而獲得一定形狀和尺寸的沖壓件的工序。 上述兩類工序，按基本變形方式不同又可分為沖裁、彎曲、拉深和成形四種基本工序，每種基本工序還包含有多種單一工序。 在實(shí)際生產(chǎn)中，當(dāng)沖壓件的生產(chǎn)批量較大、尺寸較少而公差要求較小時(shí)，若用分散的單一工序來沖壓是不經(jīng)濟(jì)甚至難于達(dá)到要求。這時(shí)在工藝上多采用集中的方案，即把兩種或兩種以上的單一工序集中在一副模具內(nèi)完成，稱為組合的方法不同，又可將其分為復(fù)合-級(jí)進(jìn)和復(fù)合-級(jí)進(jìn)三種組合方式。 復(fù)合沖壓——在壓力機(jī)的一次工作行程中，在模具的同一工位上同時(shí)完成兩種或兩種以上不同單一工序的一種組合方法式。 級(jí)進(jìn)沖壓——在壓力機(jī)上的一次工作行程中，按照一定的順序在同一模具的不同工位上完面兩種或兩種以上不同單一工序的一種組合方式。 復(fù)合-級(jí)進(jìn)——在一副沖模上包含復(fù)合和級(jí)進(jìn)兩種方式的組合工序。 沖模的結(jié)構(gòu)類型也很多。通常按工序性質(zhì)可分為沖裁模、彎曲模、拉深模和成形模等；按工序的組合方式可分為單工序模、復(fù)合模和級(jí)進(jìn)模等。但不論何種類型的沖模，都可看成是由上模和下模兩部分 組成，上模被固定在壓力機(jī)工作臺(tái)或墊板上，是沖模的固定部分。工作時(shí)，坯料在下模面上通過定位零件定位，壓力機(jī)滑塊帶動(dòng)上模下壓，在模具工作零件（即凸模、凹模）的作用下坯料便產(chǎn)生分離或塑性變形，從而獲得所需形狀與尺寸的沖件。上?；厣龝r(shí)，模具的卸料與出件裝置將沖件或廢料從凸、凹模上卸下或推、頂出來，以便進(jìn)行下一次沖壓循環(huán)。 1.3 沖壓技術(shù)的現(xiàn)狀及發(fā)展方向 隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的不斷進(jìn)步和工業(yè)生產(chǎn)的迅速發(fā)展，許多新技術(shù)、新工藝、新設(shè)備、新材料不斷涌現(xiàn)，因而促進(jìn)了沖壓技術(shù)的不斷革新和發(fā)展。其主要表現(xiàn)和發(fā)展方向如下。 (1).沖壓成形理論及沖壓工藝方面 沖壓成形理論的研究是提高沖壓技術(shù)的基礎(chǔ)。目前，國內(nèi)外對(duì)沖壓成形理論的研究非常重視，在材料沖壓性能研究、沖壓成形過程應(yīng)力應(yīng)變分析、板料變形規(guī)律研究及坯料與模具之間的相互作用研究等方面均取得了較大的進(jìn)展。特別是隨著計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)的飛躍發(fā)展和塑性變形理論的進(jìn)一步完善，近年來國內(nèi)外已開始應(yīng)用塑性成形過程的計(jì)算機(jī)模擬技術(shù)，即利用有限元（FEM）等有值分析方法模擬金屬的塑性成形過程，根據(jù)分析結(jié)果，設(shè)計(jì)人員可預(yù)測(cè)某一工藝方案成形的可行性及可能出現(xiàn)的質(zhì)量問題，并通過在計(jì)算機(jī)上選擇修改相關(guān)參數(shù)，可實(shí)現(xiàn)工藝及模具的優(yōu)化設(shè)計(jì)。這樣既節(jié)省了昂貴的試模費(fèi)用，也縮短了制模具周期。 研究推廣能提高生產(chǎn)率及產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量、降低成本和擴(kuò)大沖壓工藝應(yīng)用范圍的各種壓新工藝，也是沖壓技術(shù)的發(fā)展方向之一。目前，國內(nèi)外相繼涌現(xiàn)出精密沖壓工藝、軟模成形工藝、高能高速成形工藝及無模多點(diǎn)成形工藝等精密、高效、經(jīng)濟(jì)的沖壓新工藝。其中，精密沖裁是提高沖裁件質(zhì)量的有效方法，它擴(kuò)大了沖壓加工范圍，目前精密沖裁加工零件的厚度可達(dá)25mm，精度可達(dá)IT16~17級(jí)；用液體、橡膠、聚氨酯等作柔性凸模或凹模的軟模成形工藝，能加工出用普通加工方法難以加工的材料和復(fù)雜形狀的零件，在特定生產(chǎn)條件下具有明顯的經(jīng)濟(jì)效果；采用爆炸等高能效成形方法對(duì)于加工各種尺寸在、形狀復(fù)雜、批量小、強(qiáng)度高和精度要求較高的板料零件，具有很重要的實(shí)用意義；利用金屬材料的超塑性進(jìn)行超塑成形，可以用一次成形代替多道普通的沖壓成形工序，這對(duì)于加工形狀復(fù)雜和大型板料零件具有突出的優(yōu)越性；無模多點(diǎn)成形工序是用高度可調(diào)的凸模群體代替?zhèn)鹘y(tǒng)模具進(jìn)行板料曲面成形的一種先進(jìn)技術(shù)，我國已自主設(shè)計(jì)制造了具有國際領(lǐng)先水平的無模多點(diǎn)成形設(shè)備，解決了多點(diǎn)壓機(jī)成形法，從而可隨意改變變形路徑與受力狀態(tài)，提高了材料的成形極限，同時(shí)利用反復(fù)成形技術(shù)可消除材料內(nèi)殘余應(yīng)力，實(shí)現(xiàn)無回彈成形。無模多點(diǎn)成形系統(tǒng)以CAD/CAM/CAE技術(shù)為主要手段，能快速經(jīng)濟(jì)地實(shí)現(xiàn)三維曲面的自動(dòng)化成形。 (2.)沖模是實(shí)現(xiàn)沖壓生產(chǎn)的基本條件.在沖模的設(shè)計(jì)制造上,目前正朝著以下兩方面發(fā)展:一方面,為了適應(yīng)高速、自動(dòng)、精密、安全等大批量現(xiàn)代生產(chǎn)的需要，沖模正向高效率、高精度、高壽命及多工位、多功能方向發(fā)展，與此相比適應(yīng)的新型模具材料及其熱處理技術(shù)，各種高效、精密、數(shù)控自動(dòng)化的模具加工機(jī)床和檢測(cè)設(shè)備以及模具CAD/CAM技術(shù)也在迅速發(fā)展；另一方面，為了適應(yīng)產(chǎn)品更新?lián)Q代和試制或小批量生產(chǎn)的需要，鋅基合金沖模、聚氨酯橡膠沖模、薄板沖模、鋼帶沖模、組合沖模等各種簡(jiǎn)易沖模及其制造技術(shù)也得到了迅速發(fā)展。 精密、高效的多工位及多功能級(jí)進(jìn)模和大型復(fù)雜的汽車覆蓋件沖模代表了現(xiàn)代沖模的技術(shù)水平。目前，50個(gè)工位以上的級(jí)進(jìn)模進(jìn)距精度可達(dá)到2微米，多功能級(jí)進(jìn)模不僅可以完成沖壓全過程，還可完成焊接、裝配等工序。我國已能自行設(shè)計(jì)制造出達(dá)到國際水平的精度達(dá)2?~5微米，進(jìn)距精度2~3微米，總壽命達(dá)1億次。我國主要汽車模具企業(yè)，已能生產(chǎn)成套轎車覆蓋件模具，在設(shè)計(jì)制造方法、手段方面已基本達(dá)到了國際水平，但在制造方法手段方面已基本達(dá)到了國際水平，模具結(jié)構(gòu)、功能方面也接近國際水平，但在制造質(zhì)量、精度、制造周期和成本方面與國外相比還存在一定差距。 模具制造技術(shù)現(xiàn)代化是模具工業(yè)發(fā)展的基礎(chǔ)。計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)、信息技術(shù)、自動(dòng)化技術(shù)等先進(jìn)技術(shù)正在不斷向傳統(tǒng)制造技術(shù)滲透、交叉、融合形成了現(xiàn)代模具制造技術(shù)。其中高速銑削加工、電火花銑削加工、慢走絲切割加工、精密磨削及拋光技術(shù)、數(shù)控測(cè)量等代表了現(xiàn)代沖模制造的技術(shù)水平。高速銑削加工不但具有加工速度高以及良好的加工精度和表面質(zhì)量（主軸轉(zhuǎn)速一般為15000~40000r/min）,加工精度一般可達(dá)10微米，最好的表面粗糙度Ra≤1微米），而且與傳統(tǒng)切削加工相比具有溫升低（工件只升高3攝氏度）、切削力小，因而可加工熱敏材料和剛性差的零件，合理選擇刀具和切削用量還可實(shí)現(xiàn)硬材料（60HRC）加工；電火花銑削加工（又稱電火花創(chuàng)成加工）是以高速旋轉(zhuǎn)的簡(jiǎn)單管狀電極作三維或二維輪廓加工（像數(shù)控銑一樣），因此不再需要制造昂貴的成形電極，如日本三菱公司生產(chǎn)的EDSCAN8E電火花銑削加工機(jī)床，配置有電極損耗自動(dòng)補(bǔ)償系統(tǒng)、CAD/CAM集成系統(tǒng)、在線自動(dòng)測(cè)量系統(tǒng)和動(dòng)態(tài)仿真系統(tǒng)，體現(xiàn)了當(dāng)今電火花加工機(jī)床的技術(shù)水平；慢走絲線切割技術(shù)的發(fā)展水平已相當(dāng)高，功能也相當(dāng)完善，自動(dòng)化程度已達(dá)到無人看管運(yùn)行的程度，目前切割速度已達(dá)到300mm/min,加工精度可達(dá)±1.5微米，表面粗糙度達(dá)Ra=01~0.2微米;精度磨削及拋光已開始使用數(shù)控成形磨床、數(shù)控光學(xué)曲線磨床、數(shù)控連續(xù)軌跡坐標(biāo)磨床及自動(dòng)拋光等先進(jìn)設(shè)備和技術(shù);模具加工過程中的檢測(cè)技術(shù)也取得了很大的發(fā)展,現(xiàn)在三坐標(biāo)測(cè)量機(jī)除了能高精度地測(cè)量復(fù)雜曲面的數(shù)據(jù)外,其良好的溫度補(bǔ)償裝置、可靠的抗振保護(hù)能力、嚴(yán)密的除塵措施及簡(jiǎn)單操作步驟，使得現(xiàn)場(chǎng)自動(dòng)化檢測(cè)成為可能。此外，激光快速成形技術(shù)（RPM）與樹脂澆注技術(shù)在快速經(jīng)濟(jì)制模技術(shù)中得到了成功的應(yīng)用。利用RPM技術(shù)快速成形三維原型后，通過陶瓷精鑄、電弧涂噴、消失模、熔模等技術(shù)可快速制造各種成形模。如清華大學(xué)開發(fā)研制的“M-RPMS-Ⅱ型多功能快速原型制造系統(tǒng)”是我國自主知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的世界惟一擁有兩種快速成形工藝（分層實(shí)體制造SSM和熔融擠壓成形MEM）的系統(tǒng)，它基于“模塊化技術(shù)集成”之概念而設(shè)計(jì)和制造，具有較好的價(jià)格性能比。一汽模具制造公司在以CAD/CAM加工的主模型為基礎(chǔ)，采用瑞士汽巴精化的高強(qiáng)度樹脂澆注成形的樹脂沖模應(yīng)用在國產(chǎn)轎車試制和小批量生產(chǎn)開辟了新的途徑。 (3) 沖壓設(shè)備和沖壓生產(chǎn)自動(dòng)化方面 性能良好的沖壓設(shè)備是提高沖壓生產(chǎn)技術(shù)水平的基本條件，高精度、高壽命、高效率的沖模需要高精度、高自動(dòng)化的沖壓設(shè)備相匹配。為了滿足大批量高速生產(chǎn)的需要，目前沖壓設(shè)備也由單工位、單功能、低速壓力機(jī)朝著多工位、多功能、高速和數(shù)控方向發(fā)展，加之機(jī)械乃至機(jī)器人的大量使用，使沖壓生產(chǎn)效率得到大幅度提高，各式各樣的沖壓自動(dòng)線和高速自動(dòng)壓力機(jī)紛紛投入使用。如在數(shù)控四邊折彎機(jī)中送入板料毛坯后，在計(jì)算機(jī)程序控制下便可依次完成四邊彎曲，從而大幅度提高精度和生產(chǎn)率；在高速自動(dòng)壓力機(jī)上沖壓電機(jī)定轉(zhuǎn)子沖片時(shí)，一分鐘可沖幾百片，并能自動(dòng)疊成定、轉(zhuǎn)子鐵芯，生產(chǎn)效率比普通壓力機(jī)提高幾十倍，材料利用率高達(dá)97%；公稱壓力為250KN的高速壓力機(jī)的滑塊行程次數(shù)已達(dá)2000次/min以上。在多功能壓力機(jī)方面，日本田公司生產(chǎn)的2000KN“沖壓中心”采用CNC控制，只需5min時(shí)間就可完成自動(dòng)換模、換料和調(diào)整工藝參數(shù)等工作；美國惠特尼公司生產(chǎn)的CNC金屬板材加工中心，在相同的時(shí)間內(nèi)，加工沖壓件的數(shù)量為普通壓力機(jī)的4~10倍，并能進(jìn)行沖孔、分段沖裁、彎曲和拉深等多種作業(yè)。 近年來，為了適應(yīng)市場(chǎng)的激烈競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，對(duì)產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的要求越來越高，且其更新?lián)Q代的周期大為縮短。沖壓生產(chǎn)為適應(yīng)這一新的要求，開發(fā)了多種適合不同批量生產(chǎn)的工藝、設(shè)備和模具。其中，無需設(shè)計(jì)專用模具、性能先進(jìn)的轉(zhuǎn)塔數(shù)控多工位壓力機(jī)、激光切割和成形機(jī)、CNC萬能折彎機(jī)等新設(shè)備已投入使用。特別是近幾年來在國外已經(jīng)發(fā)展起來、國內(nèi)亦開始使用的沖壓柔性制造單元（FMC）和沖壓柔性制造系統(tǒng)（FMS）代表了沖壓生產(chǎn)新的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)。FMS系統(tǒng)以數(shù)控沖壓設(shè)備為主體，包括板料、模具、沖壓件分類存放系統(tǒng)、自動(dòng)上料與下料系統(tǒng)，生產(chǎn)過程完全由計(jì)算機(jī)控制，車間實(shí)現(xiàn)24小時(shí)無人控制生產(chǎn)。同時(shí)，根據(jù)不同使用要求，可以完成各種沖壓工序，甚至焊接、裝配等工序，更換新產(chǎn)品方便迅速，沖壓件精度也高。 (4)沖壓標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化及專業(yè)化生產(chǎn)方面 模具的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化及專業(yè)化生產(chǎn)，已得到模具行業(yè)和廣泛重視。因?yàn)闆_模屬單件小批量生產(chǎn)，沖模零件既具的一定的復(fù)雜性和精密性，又具有一定的結(jié)構(gòu)典型性。因此，只有實(shí)現(xiàn)了沖模的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化，才能使沖模和沖模零件的生產(chǎn)實(shí)現(xiàn)專業(yè)化、商品化，從而降低模具的成本，提高模具的質(zhì)量和縮短制造周期。目前，國外先進(jìn)工業(yè)國家模具標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化生產(chǎn)程度已達(dá)70%~80%，模具廠只需設(shè)計(jì)制造工作零件，大部分模具零件均從標(biāo)準(zhǔn)件廠購買，使生產(chǎn)率大幅度提高。模具制造廠專業(yè)化程度越不定期越高，分工越來越細(xì)，如目前有模架廠、頂桿廠、熱處理廠等，甚至某些模具廠僅專業(yè)化制造某類產(chǎn)品的沖裁?；驈澢＃@樣更有利于制造水平的提高和制造周期的縮短。我國沖模標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化與專業(yè)化生產(chǎn)近年來也有較大發(fā)展，除反映在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)件專業(yè)化生產(chǎn)廠家有較多增加外，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)件品種也有擴(kuò)展，精度亦有提高。但總體情況還滿足不了模具工業(yè)發(fā)展的要求，主要體現(xiàn)在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化程度還不高（一般在40%以下），標(biāo)準(zhǔn)件的品種和規(guī)格較少，大多數(shù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)件廠家未形成規(guī)模化生產(chǎn)，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)件質(zhì)量也還存在較多問題。另外，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)件生產(chǎn)的銷售、供貨、服務(wù)等都還有待于進(jìn)一步提高。 沖裁模設(shè)計(jì)題目 如圖1所示零件：托扳 生產(chǎn)批量：大批量 材料：08F t=2mm 設(shè)計(jì)該零件的沖壓工藝與模具 圖1 托板零件圖 （一）沖裁件工藝分析 1. 材料：08F鋼板是優(yōu)質(zhì)碳素結(jié)構(gòu)鋼，具有良好的可沖壓性能。 2. 工件結(jié)構(gòu)形狀：沖裁件內(nèi)、外形應(yīng)盡量避免有尖銳清角，為提高模具壽命，建議將所有90°清角改為R1的圓角。 3凸模最小尺寸校核 ：查〈〈冷沖壓技術(shù)〉〉表3-9無導(dǎo)向凸模沖孔的 最小尺寸；d=0.9t =0.9*2 =1.8 小于3.5可以沖裁 4. 尺寸精度：零件圖上所有尺寸均未標(biāo)注公差，屬自由尺寸，可按IT14級(jí)確定工件尺寸的公差。經(jīng)查〈〈公差配合與技術(shù)測(cè)量〉〉表2-4得，各尺寸公差為： 54-0.74、34-0.62、30-0.52、16-0.44、17±0.22、Ф3.5+0.3 結(jié)論：可以沖裁 （二） 確定工藝方案及模具結(jié)構(gòu)形式 經(jīng)分析，工件尺寸精度要求不高，形狀不大，但工件產(chǎn)量較大，根據(jù)材料較厚（2mm）的特點(diǎn)，為保證孔位精度，沖模有較高的生產(chǎn)率，通過比較，決定實(shí)行工序集中的工藝方案，采取利用導(dǎo)正釘進(jìn)行定位、剛性卸料裝置、自然漏料方式的連續(xù)沖裁模結(jié)構(gòu)形式。 （三） 模具設(shè)計(jì)計(jì)算 1．排樣 計(jì)算條料寬度及確定步距 首先查〈〈冷沖壓技術(shù)〉表確定搭邊值。根據(jù)零件形狀，兩工件間按矩形取搭邊值b=2,側(cè)邊按圓形取搭邊值a=2。 連續(xù)模進(jìn)料步距為32mm。 條料寬度按相應(yīng)的公式計(jì)算：查〈〈冷沖壓技術(shù)〉公式3-21 B=(D+2a)-⊿ 查表3.15得條料寬度誤差 ⊿=0.6 B=(54+2×2)-0.6 =58-0.6 畫出排樣圖，圖2 2利用率計(jì)算； 查〈〈冷沖壓技術(shù)〉公式3-19得 n=A/SB*100% =34*30+4*30+200.96-21/58*32 =71.1% 所以用剪扳機(jī)剪取58*1000的條料 圖2 排樣圖 2．計(jì)算總沖壓力 由于沖模采用剛性卸裝置和自然漏料方式，故總的沖壓力為：由〈〈冷沖壓技術(shù)〉公式3-35得 P0=P+Pt

3．確定壓力中心： 根據(jù)圖3分析，因?yàn)楣ぜD形對(duì)稱，故落料時(shí)P1的壓力中心在O1上；沖孔時(shí)P2的壓力中心在O2上。 設(shè)沖模壓力中心離O1點(diǎn)的距離為X，根據(jù)力矩平衡原理得： P1X=(32-X)P 圖3 壓力中心 由此算得X=7m 4．沖模刃口尺寸及公差的計(jì)算

Design F.-K. Chen and Y.-C. Liao Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan Wrinkling that occurs in the stamping of tapered square cups and stepped rectangular cups is investigated. A common characteristic of these two types of wrinkling is that the wrinkles are found at the draw wall that is relatively unsup- ported. In the stamping of a tapered square cup, the effect of process parameters, such as the die gap and blank-holder force, on the occurrence of wrinkling is examined using finite- element simulations. The simulation results show that the larger the die gap, the more severe is the wrinkling, and such wrinkling cannot be suppressed by increasing the blank-holder force. In the analysis of wrinkling that occurred in the stamping of a stepped rectangular cup, an actual production part that has a similar type of geometry was examined. The wrinkles found at the draw wall are attributed to the unbalanced stretching of the sheet metal between the punch head and the step edge. An optimum die design for the purpose of eliminating the wrinkles is determined using finite-element analysis. The good agreement between the simulation results and those observed in the wrinkle-free production part validates the accuracy of the finite-element analysis, and demonstrates the advantage of using finite-element analysis for stamping die design.

For both functional and visual reasons, wrinkles are usually not acceptable in a finished part. There are three types of wrinkle which frequently occur in the sheet metal forming process: flange wrinkling, wall wrinkling, and elastic buckling of the undeformed area owing to residual elastic compressive stresses. In the forming operation of stamp- ing a complex shape, draw-wall wrinkling means the occurrence Correspondence and offprint requests to: Professor F.-K. Chen, Depart- ment of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University, No. 1 Roosevelt Road, Sec. 4, Taipei, Taiwan 10617. E-mail: fkchenL50560 w3.me.ntu.edu.tw of wrinkles in the die cavity. Since the sheet metal in the wall area is relatively unsupported by the tool, the elimination of wall wrinkles is more difficult than the suppression of flange wrinkles. It is well known that additional stretching of the material in the unsupported wall area may prevent wrinkling, and this can be achieved in practice by increasing the blank- holder force; but the application of excessive tensile stresses leads to failure by tearing. Hence, the blank-holder force must lie within a narrow range, above that necessary to suppress wrinkles on the one hand, and below that which produces fracture on the other. This narrow range of blank-holder force is difficult to determine. For wrinkles occurring in the central area of a stamped part with a complex shape, a workable range of blank-holder force does not even exist. In order to examine the mechanics of the formation of wrinkles, Yoshida et al. 1 developed a test in which a thin plate was non-uniformly stretched along one of its diagonals. They also proposed an approximate theoretical model in which the onset of wrinkling is due to elastic buckling resulting from the compressive lateral stresses developed in the non-uniform stress field. Yu et al. 2,3 investigated the wrinkling problem both experimentally and analytically. They found that wrinkling could occur having two circumferential waves according to their theoretical analysis, whereas the experimental results indi- cated four to six wrinkles. Narayanasamy and Sowerby 4 examined the wrinkling of sheet metal when drawing it through a conical die using flat-bottomed and hemispherical-ended punches. They also attempted to rank the properties that appeared to suppress wrinkling. These efforts are focused on the wrinkling problems associa- ted with the forming operations of simple shapes only, such as a circular cup. In the early 1990s, the successful application of the 3D dynamic/explicit finite-element method to the sheet- metal forming process made it possible to analyse the wrinkling problem involved in stamping complex shapes. In the present study, the 3D finite-element method was employed to analyse the effects of the process parameters on the metal flow causing wrinkles at the draw wall in the stamping of a tapered square cup, and of a stepped rectangular part. A tapered square cup, as shown in Fig. 1(a), has an inclined draw wall on each side of the cup, similar to that existing in a conical cup. During the stamping process, the sheet metal on the draw wall is relatively unsupported, and is therefore 254 F.-K. Chen and Y.-C. Liao Fig. 1. Sketches of (a) a tapered square cup and (b) a stepped rectangular cup. prone to wrinkling. In the present study, the effect of various process parameters on the wrinkling was investigated. In the case of a stepped rectangular part, as shown in Fig. 1(b), another type of wrinkling is observed. In order to estimate the effectiveness of the analysis, an actual production part with stepped geometry was examined in the present study. The cause of the wrinkling was determined using finite-element analysis, and an optimum die design was proposed to eliminate the wrinkles. The die design obtained from finite-element analy- sis was validated by observations on an actual production part. 2. Finite-Element Model The tooling geometry, including the punch, die and blank- holder, were designed using the CAD program PRO/ ENGINEER. Both the 3-node and 4-node shell elements were adopted to generate the mesh systems for the above tooling using the same CAD program. For the finite-element simul- ation, the tooling is considered to be rigid, and the correspond- ing meshes are used only to define the tooling geometry and Fig. 2. Finite-element mesh. are not for stress analysis. The same CAD program using 4- node shell elements was employed to construct the mesh system for the sheet blank. Figure 2 shows the mesh system for the complete set of tooling and the sheet-blank used in the stamping of a tapered square cup. Owing to the symmetric conditions, only a quarter of the square cup is analysed. In the simulation, the sheet blank is put on the blank-holder and the die is moved down to clamp the sheet blank against the blank-holder. The punch is then moved up to draw the sheet metal into the die cavity. In order to perform an accurate finite-element analysis, the actual stressstrain relationship of the sheet metal is required as part of the input data. In the present study, sheet metal with deep-drawing quality is used in the simulations. A tensile test has been conducted for the specimens cut along planes coinciding with the rolling direction (0) and at angles of 45 and 90 to the rolling direction. The average flow stress H9268, calculated from the equation H9268H11005(H9268 0 H11001 2H9268 45 H11001H9268 90 )/4, for each measured true strain, as shown in Fig. 3, is used for the simulations for the stampings of the tapered square cup and also for the stepped rectangular cup. All the simulations performed in the present study were run on an SGI Indigo 2 workstation using the finite-element pro- gram PAMFSTAMP. To complete the set of input data required Fig. 3. The stressstrain relationship for the sheet metal. Draw-Wall Wrinkling in a Stamping Die Design 255 for the simulations, the punch speed is set to 10 m s H110021 and a coefficient of Coulomb friction equal to 0.1 is assumed. 3. Wrinkling in a Tapered Square Cup A sketch indicating some relevant dimensions of the tapered square cup is shown in Fig. 1(a). As seen in Fig. 1(a), the length of each side of the square punch head (2W p ), the die cavity opening (2W d ), and the drawing height (H) are con- sidered as the crucial dimensions that affect the wrinkling. Half of the difference between the dimensions of the die cavity opening and the punch head is termed the die gap (G) in the present study, i.e. G H11005 W d H11002 W p . The extent of the relatively unsupported sheet metal at the draw wall is presumably due to the die gap, and the wrinkles are supposed to be suppressed by increasing the blank-holder force. The effects of both the die gap and the blank-holder force in relation to the occurrence of wrinkling in the stamping of a tapered square cup are investigated in the following sections. 3.1 Effect of Die Gap In order to examine the effect of die gap on the wrinkling, the stamping of a tapered square cup with three different die gaps of 20 mm, 30 mm, and 50 mm was simulated. In each simulation, the die cavity opening is fixed at 200 mm, and the cup is drawn to the same height of 100 mm. The sheet metal used in all three simulations is a 380 mm H11003 380 mm square sheet with thickness of 0.7 mm, the stressstrain curve for the material is shown in Fig. 3. The simulation results show that wrinkling occurred in all three tapered square cups, and the simulated shape of the drawn cup for a die gap of 50 mm is shown in Fig. 4. It is seen in Fig. 4 that the wrinkling is distributed on the draw wall and is particularly obvious at the corner between adjacent walls. It is suggested that the wrinkling is due to the large unsupported area at the draw wall during the stamping process, also, the side length of the punch head and the die cavity Fig. 4. Wrinkling in a tapered square cup (G H11005 50 mm). opening are different owing to the die gap. The sheet metal stretched between the punch head and the die cavity shoulder becomes unstable owing to the presence of compressive trans- verse stresses. The unconstrained stretching of the sheet metal under compression seems to be the main cause for the wrink- ling at the draw wall. In order to compare the results for the three different die gaps, the ratio H9252 of the two principal strains is introduced, H9252 being H9280 min /H9280 max , where H9280 max and H9280 min are the major and the minor principal strains, respectively. Hosford and Caddell 5 have shown that if the absolute value of H9252 is greater than a critical value, wrinkling is supposed to occur, and the larger the absolute value of H9252, the greater is the possibility of wrinkling. The H9252 values along the cross-section MN at the same drawing height for the three simulated shapes with different die gaps, as marked in Fig. 4, are plotted in Fig. 5. It is noted from Fig. 5 that severe wrinkles are located close to the corner and fewer wrinkles occur in the middle of the draw wall for all three different die gaps. It is also noted that the bigger the die gap, the larger is the absolute value of H9252. Consequently, increasing the die gap will increase the possibility of wrinkling occurring at the draw wall of the tapered square cup. 3.2 Effect of the Blank-Holder Force It is well known that increasing the blank-holder force can help to eliminate wrinkling in the stamping process. In order to study the effectiveness of increased blank-holder force, the stamping of a tapered square cup with die gap of 50 mm, which is associated with severe wrinkling as stated above, was simulated with different values of blank-holder force. The blank-holder force was increased from 100 kN to 600 kN, which yielded a blank-holder pressure of 0.33 MPa and 1.98 MPa, respectively. The remaining simulation conditions are maintained the same as those specified in the previous section. An intermediate blank-holder force of 300 kN was also used in the simulation. The simulation results show that an increase in the blank- holder force does not help to eliminate the wrinkling that occurs at the draw wall. The H9252 values along the cross-section Fig. 5.

Liao MN, as marked in Fig. 4, are compared with one another for the stamping processes with blank-holder force of 100 kN and 600 kN. The simulation results indicate that the H9252 values along the cross-section MN are almost identical in both cases. In order to examine the difference of the wrinkle shape for the two different blank-holder forces, five cross-sections of the draw wall at different heights from the bottom to the line M N, as marked in Fig. 4, are plotted in Fig. 6 for both cases. It is noted from Fig. 6 that the waviness of the cross-sections for both cases is similar. This indicates that the blank-holder force does not affect the occurrence of wrinkling in the stamp- ing of a tapered square cup, because the formation of wrinkles is mainly due to the large unsupported area at the draw wall where large compressive transverse stresses exist. The blank- holder force has no influence on the instability mode of the material between the punch head and the die cavity shoulder. 4. Stepped Rectangular Cup In the stamping of a stepped rectangular cup, wrinkling occurs at the draw wall even though the die gaps are not so significant. Figure 1(b) shows a sketch of a punch shape used for stamping a stepped rectangular cup in which the draw wall C is followed by a step DE. An actual production part that has this type of geometry was examined in the present study. The material used for this production part was 0.7 mm thick, and the stress strain relation obtained from tensile tests is shown in Fig. 3. The procedure in the press shop for the production of this stamping part consists of deep drawing followed by trimming. In the deep drawing process, no draw bead is employed on the die surface to facilitate the metal flow. However, owing to the small punch corner radius and complex geometry, a split occurred at the top edge of the punch and wrinkles were found to occur at the draw wall of the actual production part, as shown in Fig. 7. It is seen from Fig. 7 that wrinkles are distributed on the draw wall, but are more severe at the corner edges of the step, as marked by AD and BE in Fig. 1(b). The metal is torn apart along the whole top edge of the punch, as shown in Fig. 7, to form a split. In order to provide a further understanding of the defor- mation of the sheet-blank during the stamping process, a finite- element analysis was conducted. The finite-element simulation was first performed for the original design. The simulated shape of the part is shown from Fig. 8. It is noted from Fig. 8 that the mesh at the top edge of the part is stretched Fig. 6. Cross-section lines at different heights of the draw wall for different blank-holder forces. (a) 100 kN. (b) 600 kN. Fig. 7. Split and wrinkles in the production part. Fig. 8.

The small punch radius, such as the radius along the edge AB, and the radius of the punch corner A, as marked in Fig. 1(b), are considered to be the major reasons for the wall breakage. However, according to the results of the finite- element analysis, splitting can be avoided by increasing the above-mentioned radii. This concept was validated by the actual production part manufactured with larger corner radii. Several attempts were also made to eliminate the wrinkling. First, the blank-holder force was increased to twice the original value. However, just as for the results obtained in the previous section for the drawing of tapered square cup, the effect of blank-holder force on the elimination of wrinkling was not found to be significant. The same results are also obtained by increasing the friction or increasing the blank size. We conclude that this kind of wrinkling cannot be suppressed by increasing the stretching force. Since wrinkles are formed because of excessive metal flow in certain regions, where the sheet is subjected to large com- pressive stresses, a straightforward method of eliminating the wrinkles is to add drawbars in the wrinkled area to absorb the redundant material. The drawbars should be added parallel to the direction of the wrinkles so that the redundant metal can be absorbed effectively. Based on this concept, two drawbars are added to the adjacent walls, as shown in Fig. 9, to absorb the excessive material. The simulation results show that the Draw-Wall Wrinkling in a Stamping Die Design 257 Fig. 9. Drawbars added to the draw walls. wrinkles at the corner of the step are absorbed by the drawbars as expected, however some wrinkles still appear at the remain- ing wall. This indicates the need to put more drawbars at the draw wall to absorb all the excess material. This is, however, not permissible from considerations of the part design. One of the advantages of using finite-element analysis for the stamping process is that the deformed shape of the sheet blank can be monitored throughout the stamping process, which is not possible in the actual production process. A close look at the metal flow during the stamping process reveals that the sheet blank is first drawn into the die cavity by the punch head and the wrinkles are not formed until the sheet blank touches the step edge DE marked in Fig. 1(b). The wrinkled shape is shown in Fig. 10. This provides valuable information for a possible modification of die design. An initial surmise for the cause of the occurrence of wrink- ling is the uneven stretch of the sheet metal between the punch corner radius A and the step corner radius D, as indicated in Fig. 1(b). Therefore a modification of die design was carried out in which the step corner was cut off, as shown in Fig. 11, so that the stretch condition is changed favourably, which allows more stretch to be applied by increasing the step edges. However, wrinkles were still found at the draw wall of the cup. This result implies that wrinkles are introduced because of the uneven stretch between the whole punch head edge and the whole step edge, not merely between the punch corner and Fig. 10. Wrinkle formed when the sheet blank touches the stepped edge. Fig. 11. Cut-off of the stepped corner. the step corner. In order to verify this idea, two modifications of the die design were suggested: one is to cut the whole step off, and the other is to add one more drawing operation, that is, to draw the desired shape using two drawing operations. The simulated shape for the former method is shown in Fig. 12. Since the lower step is cut off, the drawing process is quite similar to that of a rectangular cup drawing, as shown in Fig. 12. It is seen in Fig. 12 that the wrinkles were eliminated. In the two-operation drawing process, the sheet blank was first drawn to the deeper step, as shown in Fig. 13(a). Sub- sequently, the lower step was formed in the second drawing operation, and the desired shape was then obtained, as shown in Fig. 13(b). It is seen clearly in Fig. 13(b) that the stepped rectangular cup can be manufactured without wrinkling, by a two-operation drawing process. It should also be noted that in the two-operation drawing process, if an opposite sequence is applied, that is, the lower step is formed first and is followed by the drawing of the deeper step, the edge of the deeper step, as shown by AB in Fig. 1(b), is prone to tearing because the metal cannot easily flow over the lower step into the die cavity. The finite-element simulations have indicated that the die design for stamping the desired stepped rectangular cup using one single draw operation is barely achieved. However, the manufacturing cost is expected to be much higher for the two- operation drawing process owing to the additional die cost and operation cost. In order to maintain a lower manufacturing cost, the part design engineer made suitable shape changes, and modified the die design according to the finite-element Fig. 12.
