ABSTRACT
Sheet metal are necessary and play role in industrial area widespread range of products, mechanical
engineering, electronic engineering, medical engineering. Demand growing in currently days in developing and
developed nations. Bending operation on sheet metal has been mostly used in industries for mass production of
automobile parts, tools etc. Through bending Sheet metal can be shaped in required shape and size. Bending is
most common formation operation. There are different types of bending operation Techniques in Sheet metal
bending.
Keywords: Sheet Metal, Bending Operation, Forming Techniques, Manufacturing Process.
I. INTRODUCTION
The most common sheet metal forming process is the bending process this also called as metal working
manufacturing process. Through sheet metal bending operation we can manufacture or produce U-shaped
component, V-shaped products of Sheet metal also L-shaped components can be produced.
Bending can be defined as
“Bending is Producing method within which metal is plastically misshapen into desired form and size
below the action of external load. ’’
Bending can be done in different manner for example bending along a straight line or path in which most
common type is sheet metal forming. Bending of sheet metal can be done in a variety of processes such as
Wiping, folding or flanging using special type of mechanism and machinery having different type of hard metal
Dies. Bending is most common Sheet metal forming operation. Many products like Automobile parts, its body
parts and component, home appliances, paper clips and metal doors are shaped by bending process.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
Researcher showing that sheet metal forming that is bending of sheet metal has major role and contribution in
many mechanical industries especially automotive industries and transportation companies in terms of
improvement or development. The most common sheet metal forming process is the bending process this also
called as metal working manufacturing process.
All Researchers have been reported in sheet metal bending process are most common issue is spring back effect
in bending. Spring back define as After Bending due to elastic property of material try to regain its original
shape or position.
III. PROBLEM STATEMENT
 Due to Spring back following six parameters are affecting
a) Bending radius
b) Bending angle
c) Bending force
d) Thickness
e) Punch Radius
f) Sheet metal material
There are two types of spring back effect one is positive spring back and another is negative spring back effect.
When measured bend angle after releasing load is larger than spring back effect called as positive. Whereas
measured bend angle is lower than spring back effect known as negative.
 We can overcome spring back effect as follows,
1) In sheet metal bending operation over bending is the technique for getting desired bend angle.
2) Spring back effect can be minimized by Re-bending metal sheet.
3) To finding additional process that changes undesirable stress into less damaging stress.
4) By decreasing stress level which effect on parts used in bending operation.

IV. MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES
1] V- Bending: - In V-bending, sheet metal blank is bent between a v- shaped punch and die. Dies are simple
and in-expensive V- shaped component produced by this technique V-bending as shown in Figure (1).

Figure 1: V-Bending.
2] U- Bending: - In U-bending, sheet metal blank is bent between a U- shaped punch and die. Dies are simple
and in-expensive U- shaped component produced by this technique U-bending as shown in image.

Figure 2: U-Bending.
3] Edge Bending: - In Edge bending sheet to be held against the wipe die by a pressure pad. That is cantilever
support. By this method L-shaped component produced. Edge bending as shown in fig.

Figure 3: Edge -Bending.

4] Air-Bending: - In air bending metal blank not forced up to bottom end of die. Gap is always present in this
method between sheet metal and die.
5] Bottoming: - Bottoming is also called as Coining. Metal blank is completely forced up to bottom end of die.

V. CONCLUSION
We know, the metal bending is the huge industry in India .The especially for the mass production such as in
automotive engineering. According to our review, some basic part of bending like punched panel, die
workpieces from the research and the discussion we can conclude that the basic types of bending concludes V
bending as well as edge bending. Same other available bending types are air bending , flaming bending tube
bending these bending are not more useful as compare to V bending & edge bending V bending can be used for
larger sophisticated projects & edge bending can used for relatively small projects.
