Abstract – The compound die was used in the industry performed in compound dies and are thus more complex
for the production of different components for the compared to other sheet metal dies such as progressive,
automobile parts in the industry. The study deals with bending, drawing, etc. It involves various components
the design and analysis of the compound die for the such as punches, strippers, die sets, die blocks, knockout
manufacturing of the components for the tractor weight bars, dies gauge, etc. Therefore, Die design is a complex

defect. So, for reducing this defect the authors suggested

that the flatness of the block should be maintain in 0.02
– 0.05 mm, punch should guide in
stripper plate in case of piercing, all dowel holes should
be reamed. Gaurav C. Rathodet.al [3]develop a press
tool for piercing and notching made for sheet metal
component. It shows a study of static analysis of the
punch. They also discuss a detailed study of various
materials to be used for different components of the die,
depending upon their importance, the efficiency of the
die and the various factors affecting them .M

modeling of the components such as die block, stripper,
bottom plate, top plate, blanking punch and analyzing
the stress and deflection on the components. It was
found that the results of FEM and analytical are in
acceptable range. N. Jyothirmayiet al [5] presented the
design and fabrication of a compound die that combines
blanking and piercing operations. The combined
operations are used to design and develop the hexagonal
washer of M15 bolt.The successfully designed die is
being currently used in the Metal forming Lab of
Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology,
Hyderabad.Amit D. Madake, et.al [6] modeled the sheet-
metal die and punch for the automotive or consumer
appliance industries. The high carbon high chromium
(HCHCr) material was used for die and Oil hardening Fig.2: Dimensions of Die
non shrinkage (OHNS) grade was used for making
punch. The analysis done by Unigraphics NX-6software
and mathematical analysis were nearly found suitable for
the punch and die.Sachin Jadhav, et.al [7] studied the
sheet metal forming problems are typical in nature since
they involve geometry, boundary and material non-
linearity. Drawings part involves many parameters like
punch and dies radius, clearance, lubrication, blank
holding force and its trajectories etc. So designing the
tools for part drawing involves a lot of trial and error
procedure. Vishwanath M.C, et.al [6] discussed the
selection of any multi-operation tool, such as progressive
die or combination Die, is justified by the principle that
the number of operations achieved with one handling of
the stock and produced part is more economical than
production by a series of single operation dies and a
number of handling for each single die.
