1) Cutting operation 2) Non-cutting operation

Cutting operation
a) Piercing
b) Blanking c) Notching

d) Lancing
e) Parting off f) Cutoff

g) Perforating
h) Nibbling

Piercing : In this holes are cut on the sheet metal blank is scrap.

Blanking: In this Cutting action must be about a complete or

enclosed contour. Blank is used part.

Notching: This is an operation for removing a piece of scrap from

a) Bending
b) Drawing c) Embossing

d) Coining
e) Hemming f) Seaming g) Curling

Drawing: It is process of changing flat, precut metal blank into

hollow vessel

Embossing : This operation created shallow forming at equal

thickness.

Coining : This is operation of making impression and depression

on sheet metal.

Hemming : This is operation for join the two sheets.

Seaming : This is the operation of pushing the material
