Question

Transfer dies are same as progressive dies in which piercing and blanking operations are performed.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question during an online interview.

This interesting question is from Types of Sheet Metal Die topic in division Types of Die & Metal Forming Processes of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

Explanation: In the metal forming and cutting operations, transfer dies are almost similar to progressive dies, the only difference is that the already cut blanks are fed from the station to station manually or by automation. In the operation, first the blanking is performed which is then followed by the piercing process.
