Abstract
Abstract
Slug pulling, adhesion formation and edge fracture are major challenges in the sheet metal processing industry. They lead to a strong reduction in part quality, process stability as well as profitability. In this study, investigations are carried out on stainless steel X5CrNi18-10 to address the previous mentioned challenges. While slug pulling and edge fracture strongly depend on the geometric characteristics of active elements as well as the selection of process parameters, adhesion formation is mainly determined by temperature and thermoelectric currents. In this publication, the influence of the die channel geometry on the slug pulling effect and the part quality is investigated. Furthermore, the temperature profile over the shear cutting process as well as the resulting thermoelectric currents are determined for the test material. The relationship between edge crack sensitivity, shear cutting parameters and strategies is examined. These investigations thus form the basis for an improved understanding of the shear cutting of stainless steel.
