| Summary: | Punching process is increasingly used in manufacture industry. Punching is among the most important sheet metal in manufacturing process in mass production of metal parts and components. This operation has a great impact in variety of industries such as automotive industry. In recent years, a further understanding of the technological aspects of the punching process has been gained especially in punching tools. Therefore, this paper will investigate the effect of shear angle of high speed steel punching tool in punching process. The punching tool will be redesign by changing the shear angle of the tool and the simulation will be done using finite element method with different force applied to the punching tool. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of shear angle that occur in the punching process and choose the optimum shear angle in order to increase the tool life and minimize manufacturing cost. From analysis result shown when shear angle increase the force imposed by the tool also increased and the optimum shear angle is 4.5o. |
