Question

Forming dies are generally used in the blanking and piercing operations.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in unit test.

My enquiry is from Blanking and Piercing topic in portion Forming Process of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

The best explanation: Forming dies are used for changing the shape of the blank without removing any material. For example, drawing dies and bending dies are forming dies. For blanking and piercing operations, cutting dies are used to cut the metal from the metal sheet. They basically use cutting and shearing action for cutting the material.
