Hammering
 Hammering is include for Chipless Forming
category

 What is the chipless forming?

◦ If workpiece are formed without material being
removed from the workpiece, we refer to chilpless
forming. The most important processes of this type
are straightening, bending, cutting, shears, forging
and hammering
 One of activity from Hammering is
Straightening

 Straightening is needed to eliminate

unwanted deformation of distortion in
finished part
 During straightening, which can take place in
the cold or hot state, the material has to be
expanded or upset

Safe working of Hammering
 1. There are different types of hammers for
different projects
 2. Check the hammer before use
 3. Get a firm grip on the handle
 4. Hold the hammer at the end of the handle
 5. Hit your surface squarely with the hammer
 6. Use your whole arm and elbow
 7. Place your work against a hard surface
 8. Work in a natural position
 9. Check before you swing
 10. Practice
How to handle hammer
 Where to hold the hammer. Hold the hammer like
you’re shaking hands with somebody. When you need
more control over the hammer, like when you’re
starting a nail, grip the hammer closer to the hammer
head. When you need power, grip the hammer near
the handle’s end.
 Starting the workpiece.
 Swing from the elbow for power; swing from the
wrist for control. For maximum power and
efficiency, swing from the elbow. When you need
more control and finesse, swing from the wrist. Many
hammer newbies try to hammer with just wrist action.
 Focus on the object or workpiece, not the
hammer. When hammering, you want to avoid
sideways and glancing blows. To score a direct
hit every time, focus on the object, not the
hammer.
 Let the weight of the hammer do the
majority of the work. You don’t need to use
every ounce of strength in your body when
hammering. The weight of the hammer head
plus your smooth swing provides enough force
to get the job done.
Working Precautions
 ALWAYS wear safety goggles when using striking
tools
 ALWAYS inspect the hammer before beginning the
task to be sure it is not damaged and that all parts
are secure. Be certain that replaceable faces are
fitted securely into the head. On split-head
hammers, be sure that the face and handle
securing screws are periodically retightened, as
necessary.
 NEVER use a light weight hammer on tasks that
require heavy blows. Choose a hammer of
sufficient weight so that only a natural swing is
required. Let the weight of the hammer do the
work.
 NEVER use a hammer with a split or damaged
handle. The practice of taping a cracked handle is
dangerous and can result in injury to the user as
well as nearby personnel.
 ALWAYS replace striking faces before they wear
down far enough to allow the body of the hammer
head to contact the work surface.
 NEVER use a hammer with a loose handle. Loose
handles should be replaced or fitted with new
wedges of the proper size. Replacement handles
should be of the same length and quality as the
original.
