This paper carried through fine-blanking with negative clearance processing experiment with the AISI-1020 and AISI-1045 and obtained the work piece of fine blanking with negative clearance. The fractography photographs in the different deform regions of rollover zone, shearing band, fracture zone and under sheared surface were scanned by scanning electron microscope (SEM-JSM-6360LV). The research result indicates that the plastic flow of fine-blanking with negative clearance has been carried out to punch downspin, then jib at the place of allowance value, so that the length of work piece burnish band as much as possible to maximize and the length of the smooth shearing fracture could reach more than 90% thickness of the metallic sheet. Owing to the ejector negative direction blanking, the second burnish band could be formed in the process of ejecting and the work piece has no burr in the undermost sheared face. The place of fracture of fine-blanking with negative clearance has emerged into the middle of work piece, not into the sheared undermost. And the width of fracture band is very tiny, only 50-100 micron. The research result provides theoretic reference and the experimental data for the practice application. It has instructive significance and reference value to manufacturing application.

The fine-blanking procedure for AISI-1045 and AISI-1020 under the condition of various blanking allowance has been simulated by the DEFORM-2D software, and a large number of fine-blanking experiments have been made. Some key factors, like blanking allowance affecting upon the ejector force, the perfect ratio of fracture and the fracture procedure, are discussed, and the principles for choosing value of blanking allowance are given. In order to reduce ejector force, increase the perfect ratio of fracture and separate scrap from sheet metal easily, a smaller value C of blanking allowance should be adopted whenever possible. The value C of blanking allowance should be chosen according to the mechanism capability. For some types of steels which have good plasticity, a larger value C of blanking allowance should be chosen, so that the work-piece without blanking edge could be obtained. For some types of steels which have poor plasticity, a smaller value C of blanking allowance should be chosen to obtain blanking work-piece with higher quality. Generally speaking, the optimized value of blanking allowance should be from 0.15mm to 0.35mm, and the largest value must be less than 0.5mm.The research result has instructive significance and reference value to improve the quality of work pieces and the perfect ratio of sheared band.

The Fine-blanking with negative clearance processing is very complicated process because the blanking clearance is negative clearance, for this reason, the state of stress and strain in sheet inside are also more complicated than conventional blanking. In the process of fine-blanking with negative, plastic deformation of the material is fiercer than conventional blanking, and the change of material inner structure and hardness is more intense because of plastic deformation. The deformation principle of fine-blanking deformation with negative clearance is analyzed by means of streamline and metallographic photograph and micro hardness. The impact of fine-blanking with negative clearance on the materials microstructure and hardness is discussed. The research result indicates that the hardening value is 1.8 times than original material itself and the maximum harden depth is 2.2mm for AISI-1045 steel in the process of blanking with negative clearance. Therefore, it could enhance fatigue strength and the working life of workpiece greatly because of the improvement of the material inner structure.

This paper obtained work piece of fine blanking with negative clearance by experiment. The microstructure and fractography photograph in regions like rollover zone, shearing band, under sheared surface and fracture band were scanned by instrument of scanning electron microscope (SEM-JSM-6360LV). The fine-blanking with negative clearance makes the metal deformation regions into a state of triaxial stress precise and it causes an intense metallic stream that brings about inter-dislocation and distortion of metallic crystal product under the action of stronger force, so the metallic crystal is reset and the isometric metallic crystal of shearing zone is staved, sloped and pulled and it appears as dense lined and strip crystal. The paper analyzes the full course of producing and development of micro crack in the ejecting stage in the fine-blanking processing of negative clearance. And the course of final rupture is also analyzed. The relationship curve of blanking stroke and micro hardness is measured by Vickers Hardness instrument (MH-6). The deforming principle of fine blanking deformation with negative clearance is analyzed by means of microstructure, metallographic photograph and micro hardness.

This paper puts forward a negative clearance fine-blanking theory and its technique process, and introduces the technical processing of fine-blanking which can be used on ordinary punching machines. In this paper, computer simulation and the experimental study of negative clearance fine-blanking process are carried out. Thus the parameters of the force of blanking, the value of negative clearance are determined. The effect of fine-blanking quality was obtained, and the perfect rate of the blanking fracture achieves 90%. By comparing negative clearance precise blanking with conventional blanking, the following conclusions are drawn: 1. Blanking quality of negative clearance blanking is increased by 57% than that of conventional blanking. 2. The down surface of the work-pieces obtained by the conventional blanking processing have 0.2 - 0.5 mm longitudinal burrs, while the work-pieces obtained by the negative clearance blanking have no burrs. Thus the processing of clear away the burrs could be spared. And the manpower, the material, energy and the equipment investment are saved. The researching result provides theoretic reference and the experimental data for the engineering practice. It has instructive significance and reference value to engineering manufacturing.

In order to improve the punching process, further enhance the blanking section quality. This paper studied the common blanking of 60Mn and the fine blanking with negative clearance of 60Mn blanking work piece metallographic structure by using scanning electron microscope. The results show that the fine blanking with negative clearance process can increase the work-hardening degree and further thin the punching surface tissue, inhibit the crack, and make the blanking surface smooth. The tensile and tear result in the generation of cracks and burrs, and the extrusion forming of fine blanking with negative clearance inhibit the generation of cracks, and eliminate the conditions of the burrs. As the extrusion process, the degree of work hardening in fine blanking with negative clearance is higher than the common blanking, the organizations are more closed.
