Many engineering components are produced from a flat
sheet of metal which is cut to shape and then folded to form the finished article. The edges are then secured by a variety of methods such as welding, brazing, soldering, and riveting. The accuracy of size and shape of the finished article depends upon the accuracy of drawing the shape on the flat sheet, known as the development. Allowance is made at this stage for folding or bending, the amount varying with the radius of the bend and the metal thickness. The thickness of metal sheet is identified by a series of numbers known as standard wire gauge, or s.w.g. Table 4.1 lists the most frequently used gauges and gives their thickness in millimeters. Table 4.1 Most frequently used standard wire gauges ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ Thickness S.W.G. )(mm ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ 10 3.2 12 2.6 14 2.0 16 1.6 18 1.2 19 1.0 20 0.9 22 0.7 24 0.6 ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ Cutting is carried out using simple snips for thin-gauge steel up to around 20 s.w.g., treadle-operated guillotines capable of cutting 14 s.w.g. steel, and hand-lever shears for sheet up to 0.5 mm thick. Holes and apertures can be cut using a simple hand- operated punch or a punch and die fitted in a fly press. For simple bends in thin material, bending can be carried out in a vice. For bends in thicker material with a specific bend radius, folding machines give greater accuracy with less effort. Cutting and bending sheet metal

In practice, the circumference must take account of the material
thickness. Any metal which is bent will stretch on the outside of the bend and be compressed on the inside. Unless the metal is of very light gauge, an allowance must be made for this. The allowance is calculated on the assumption that, since the outside of the bend stretches and the inside is compressed, the length at a distance half way between the inside and outside diameters, i.e. the mean diameter, will remain unchanged. Development Example The cylinder shown in fig. 4.9 has an outside diameter of 150 mm and is made from 19 s.w.g. (1mm thick) sheet. Since the outside diameter is 150 mm and the thickness 1mm.
mean diameter = 150 - 1 = 149 mm
giving mean circumference = π ×149 = 468 mm
The circumference at the outside of the cylinder is
π ×150 = 471mm
Thus a blank cut to a length of 468 mm will stretch to a length of 47l mm at the outside and give a component of true 150 mm .diameter Development Example Fig. shows a right-angled bracket made from 1mm thick material. To obtain the development, first find length ab = 60 – inside radius – metal thickness = 60 – 2 – 1 = 57mm next, length cd = 80 – 2– 1 = 77mm finally, length bc = mean radius × 1.57 = (inside radius + 1/2 metal thickness) × 1.57 = (2 + 0.5) x 1.57 = 2.5 x 1.57 = 3.9, say 4mm * total length of development =57 + 77 + 4 = 138 mm It can be seen that the development of the bracket shown a fig. is made up of a 57mm straight length plus a bend allowance of 4 mm plus a further straight length of 77mm, as shown in fig. The bend is half-way across the bend allowance, and therefore the bend line must be 57 + 2 = 59 mm from one edge. Development Problem Obtain the development of the shapes as shown in fig. made from sheet one mm thick and 40 mm width.
