Mater. Shaping Technoi. (1990) 8:17-22 9 1990 Springer-Verlag New York Inc. R . S . R a o Abstract: Experimental and computational procedures for studying deflections, flit, andalignment characteristics of a sequence of stamping dies, housed in a transfer press, are pre-sented. Die loads are actually measured at all the 12 die stations using new load monitors and used as input to the computational procedure. A typical stamping die is analyzed using a computational code, MSC/NASTRAN, based on finite element method. The analysis is then extended to the other dies, especially the ones where the loads are high. Stresses and deflections are evaluated in the dies for the symmetric and asymmetric loading conditions. Based on our independent die analysis, stresses and deflections are found to be reasonably well within the tolerable limits. However, this situation could change when the stamping dies are eventually integrated with the press as a total system which is the ultimate goal of this broad research program. INTRODUCTION Sheet metal parts require a series of operations such as shearing , drawing , stretching , bending , and squeezing. All these operations are carried out at once while the double slide mechanism descends to work on the parts in the die stations, housed in a transfer press [1]. Material is fed to the press as blanks from a stock feeder. In operation the stock is moved from one station to the next by a mechanism synchronized with the motion of the slide. Each die is a separate unit which may be independently adjusted from the main slide. An automotive part stamped from a hot rolled steel blank in 12 steps without any intermediate anneals is shown in Figure 1. Transfer presses are mainly used to produce different types of automotive and aircraft parts and home appliances. The economic use of transfer presses depends upon quantity production as their usual production rate is 500 to 1500 parts per hour [2]. Although production is rapid in this way, close tolerances are often difficult to achieve. Moreover, the presses produce a set of conditions for off-center loads owing to the different operations being performed simultaneously in several dies during each stroke. Thus, the forming load applied at one station can affect the alignment and general accuracy of the operation being performed at adjacent stations. Another practical problem is the significant amount of set-up time involved to bring all the dies into proper operation. Hence, the broad goal of this research is to study the structural characteristics of press and dies combination as a total system. In this paper, experimental and computational procedures for investigating die problems are presented. The analysis of structural characteristics of the transfer press was pursued separately [3]. A transfer press consisting of 12 die stations was chosen for analysis. Typical die problems are excessive deflections, tilt, and misalignment of the upperand lower die halves. Inadequate cushioning and offcenter loading may cause tilt and misalignment of the dies. Tilt and excessive deflections may also be caused by the lack of stiffness of the die bolster and the die itself. Part quality can be greatly affected by these die problems. There are a lot of other parameters such as the die design, friction and lubrication along the die work interface, speed, etc. that play a great role in producing consistently good parts. Realistically, the analysis should be carded out by incorporating the die design and the deforming characteristics of the work material such as the elastic-plastic work hardening properties. In this preliminary study, the large plastic deformation of the workpiece was not considered for the reasons mentioned below. Large deformation modeling of a sheet stretching process was carded out using the computational code based on an elastic-plastic work hardening model of the deformation process [4]. Laboratory experiments were conducted on various commercial materials using a hemispherical punch. The coefficient of friction along the punch-sheet interface was actually measured in the experiment and used as a prescribed boundary to the numerical model. Although a good solution was obtained, it was realized that the numerical analysis was very sensitive to the frictional conditions along the interface. In the most recent work, a new friction model based on the micromechanics of the asperity contact was developed [5]. In the present problem, there are several operations such as deep drawing, several reduction drawing operations, and coining, which are performed using complex die geometries. The resources and the duration of time were not adequate to study these nonlinear problems. Hence,the preliminary study was limited to die problems basedon linear stress analysis. A detailed die analysis was carried out by using MSC /NASTRAN code based on finite ele mentmethod. Die loads were.measured at all the stations using new load monitors. Such measured data were used in the numerical model to evaluate stresses and deflections in the dies for normal operating conditions and for asymmetric loading conditions. Asymmetric loading conditions were created in the analysis by tilting the dies. In real practice, it is customary to pursue trial-and-error procedures such as placing shims under the die or by adjusting the cushion pressure to correct the die alignment problems. Such time consuming tasks can be reduced or even eliminated using the computational and experimental procedures presented here. DIE GEOMETRY AND MATERIALS The design of metal stamping dies is an inexact process. There are considerable trial-and-error adjustments during die tryout that are often required to finish the fabrication of a die that will produce acceptable parts. It involves not only the proper selection of die materials, but also dimensions. In order to withstand the pressure, a die must have proper cross-sectional area and clearances. Sharp comers, radii, fillets, and sudden changes in the cross section can have deleterious effects on the die life. In this work, the analysis was done on the existing set of dies. The dies were made of high carbon, high chromium tool steel. The hardness of this tool steel material is in the range of Rockwell C 57 to 60. Resistance to wear and galling was greatly improved by coating the dies with titanium nitride and titanium carbide. The dies were supported by several other steel holders made of alloy steels such as SAE 4140. The geometry of a typical stamping die is axisymmetric but it varies slightly from die to die depending on the operation. Detailed information about geometry andmaterials of a reduction drawing die (station number 4) was gathered from blueprints. It was reproducedin three-dimensional geometry using a preprocessor, PATRAN. One quadrant of the die is shown in Figure2. The data including geometry and elastic properties of the die material were fed to the numerical model. The work material used was hot rolled aluminumkilled steel, SAE 1008 A-K Steel and the blank thickness was about 4.5 ram. Stampings used in unexposed places or as parts of some deisgn where fine finish is not essential are usually made from hot rolled steel. The automotive part produced in this die set is a cover for a torque converter. A principal advantage of aluminum-killed steel is its minimum strain aging. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES As mentioned earlier, this research involved monitoting of die loads which were to be used in the numerical model to staldy the structural characteristicsof dies. The other advantage is to avoid overloadingthe dies in practice. Off-center loading can be detected and also set-up time can be reduced. Thus, any changes in the thickness of stock, dulling of the die,unbalanced loads, or overloadings can be detected using die load monitors. Strain gage based fiat load cells made of high grade tool steel material were fabricated and supplied by IDC Corporation. Four identical load cells were embedded in a thick rectangular plate as shown in Figure 3. They were calibrated both in the laboratory and in the plant.The plate was placed on the top of the die. The knockout pin slips through the hole in the plate. Six such plates were placed on each of six dies. In this way,24 readings can be obtained at a given time. Then they were shifted to the other six dies for complete data. All the 12 die loads are presented in Table 1. COMPUTATIONAL PROCEDURES Linear static analysis using finite element method wasused to study the effect of symmetric and asymmetric loading for this problem. A finite element model of die station 4 was created using the graphical preprocessor, PATRAN, and the analysis was carried outusing the code MSC/NASTRA N . The code has a wide T a b l e I.

The theoretical formulations of a static structural problem by the displacement method can be obtained from the references [6]. The unknowns are displacements and are solved for the appropriate boundary conditions. Strains are obtained from displacements. Then they are converted into stresses by using elastic stress-strain relationships of the die material. The solution procedure began with the creation of die geometry using the graphical preprocessor, PATRAN. The solution domain was divided into appropriate hyper-patches. This was followed by the generation of nodes, which were then connected by elements. Solid HEXA elements with eight nodes were used for this problem. The nodes and elements were distributed in such a way that a finer mesh was created at the critical region of the die-sheet metal interface and a coarser mesh elsewhere. The model was then optimized by deleting the unwanted nodes. The element connectivities were checked. By taking advantage of the symmetry, only one quarter of the die was analyzed. In the asymmetric case, half of the die was considered for analysis. Although, in practice, the load is applied at the top of the die, for the purpose of proper representation of the boundary conditions to the computational code, reaction forces were considered for analysis. The displacement and force boundary conditions are shown for the two cases inFigure 4. As mentioned earlier, sheet metal was not modeled in this preliminary research. As shown in Figure 4(a),the nodes on the top surface of the die were constrained (stationary surface) and the measured load of 356 kN was equally distributed on the contact nodes at the workpiece die interface. Similar boundary conditions for the punch are shown in Figure 4(b). It is noticeable that fewer nodes are in contact with the sheet metal due to the die tilt for the asymmetric loading case as shown in Figure 4(c). In real practice, the pressure actually varies along the die contact surface. Since the actual distribution was not known, uniform distribution was considered in the present analysis. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS As described in the earlier section, the numerical analysis of die Station 4 (both the die and punch) was performed using the code MSC/NASTRAN . Two cases were considered, namely: (a) symmetric loading and (b) asymmetric loading Fig. 4. Boundary conditions. (A) Symmetric case (onequadrant of the die). (B) Symmetric case (one quadrant ofnthe punch). (C) Asymmetric case (half of the die). Symmetric Loading Numerical analysis of the die was carried out for a measured load o f 356 kN as distributed equally in Figure 4(a). The major displacements in the loading direction are shown in Figure 5(a). These displacement contours can be shown in various colors to represent different magnitudes. The m aximum displacement value is 0.01 m m for a uniformly distributed load of 356 kN. The corresponding critical stress is very small, 8.4 MPa in the y direction and 30 MPa in the x direction. The calculated displacements and stresses at the surrounding elements and nodes were of the same order, but they decreased in magnitude at the nodes away from this critical region. Thus, the die was considered very rigid under this loading condition. Symmetric loading was applied to the punch and the numerical analysis was carried out separately. The displacement values in the protruding region of the punch were high compared to the die. The maximum displacement was 0.08 m m . It should be noted that the displacement values in this critical range of the punch were of the same order ranging from 0.05 mm to 0.08 ram. Although the load acting on the punch (bottom half) was the same as the die (upper half), that is, 356 kN, the values of displacements and stresses were higher in the punch because of the differences in the geometry. This is especially true for the protruding part of the punch. The corresponding maxim u m stress was 232 MPa. This part of the punch is still in the elastic range as the yield strength of tool steel is approximately 1034 MPa. The critical stress value might be varied for different load distributions. Since the actual distribution of the load was not known,the load was distributed equally on all nodes. As the die (upper half) is operating in a region which is extremely safe, a change in the load distribution may not produce any high critical stresses in the die. Although higher loads are applied at other die stations(see Table 1), it is concluded that the critical stresses are not going to be significantly higher due to the appropriate changes in the die geometries. Asymmetric Loading For the purpose of analysis, an asymmetric loading situation was created by tilting the die. Thus, only 15 nodes were in contact with the workpiece compared to 40 nodes for the symmetric loading case. As shown in Figure 4(c), a 356 kN load was uniformly distributed over the 15 nodes that were in contact with the workpiece. Although the pressure was high, because of the geometry at the location where the load was acting, the critical values of displacement and stress were found to be similar to the symmetric case. The predicted displacement and stress values were not significantly higher than the values predicted for the symmetric case. Fig. 5. Displacement contours in the loading direction.

CONCLUSIONS In this preliminary study, we have demonstrated the capabilities of the computational procedure, based on finite element method, to evaluate the stresses and deflections within the stamping dies for the measured loads. The dies were found to be within the tolerable elastic limits for both symmetric and asymmetric loading conditions. Thus the computational procedure can be used to study the tilt and alignment characteristics of stamping dies. In general, the die load monitors are very useful not only for analysis but also for on-line tonnage control. Future research involves the integration of the structural analysis of stamping dies with that of the transfer press as a total system. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Professor J.G. Eisley, W.J.
