ABSTRACT

Non-oriented electrical steel sheets were punched out to describe the effect of punch edge configuration on the piercing behaviour. Three punches were prepared to have the mechanically ground, the ion-polished and the nanostructured surfaces. The work hardening area in the cross-section of hole and the iron loss of pierced specimens were utilized as a measure to evaluate the piercing process using three punches. Therefore, we report the effects of state of tool edge on the interior of pierced specimens.

Keywords: Punching, Nanostructure, Non-Oriented Electrical Steel Sheet.
