Handbook of Die Design

This classic handbook provides the major formulas, calculations, cost estimating techniques, and safety procedures needed for specific die operations and performance evaluations. It presents the hows and whys of process analysis, product design, metal movements, materials, and die designs for sheet metal press workings. The planned objective of the "e;Handbook Die Design"e; has been to provide die designers and users with rapid access to the distinctive design details of hundreds of dies that have proved superior in cold metal-process working operations. Characteristically, the data are intended to serve the men who already know how to design dies, but have some specific design problem and hope to avoid the delays of costly development by learning how someone eke has already conquered the difficulty.
