The Contrast Research of the Finite Element Simulation for Ordinary and Fine Blanking with Negative Clearance

Abstract

This paper puts forward a negative clearance fine-blanking theory and its technique process, and introduces the technical processing of fine-blanking which can be used on ordinary punching machines. In this paper, computer simulation and the experimental study of negative clearance fine-blanking process are carried out. Thus the parameters of the force of blanking, the value of negative clearance are determined. The effect of fine-blanking quality was obtained, and the perfect rate of the blanking fracture achieves 90%. By comparing negative clearance precise blanking with conventional blanking, the following conclusions are drawn: 1. Blanking quality of negative clearance blanking is increased by 57% than that of conventional blanking. 2. The down surface of the work-pieces obtained by the conventional blanking processing have 0.2 - 0.5 mm longitudinal burrs, while the work-pieces obtained by the negative clearance blanking have no burrs. Thus the processing of clear away the burrs could be spared. And the manpower, the material, energy and the equipment investment are saved. The researching result provides theoretic reference and the experimental data for the engineering practice. It has instructive significance and reference value to engineering manufacturing.
