Analysis of the Fatigue Life of Matrix Elements in the Hole Drilling Process in Sheet Metal Forming Dies

Sheet metal forming die technologies show great progress in the industry daily. dies design depends on many parameters such as product's geometry, dimensions to be designed, number of products, and part operation. The main purpose designs is with optimum obtain high-quality products.One reasons for these errors damage elements during This studyanalyzed final process sheet using a progressive two-axis in-die conveying system designed Catia V5 software. lifetime analysis matrix element used hole drilling was made Ansys software, which finite method applied. compared two materials design, AISI D2, A2 tool steels. effects thickness fatigue life were analyzed separately matrices 8 mm, 10 12 mm thicknesses. According results, it concluded that longest thick D2 steel material used.
