Die Making Testing

We have discussed using testing to find out what you do not know.

Circle Grid Analysis

Some years ago the ASM (American Society for Metals) used to offer a mail type correspondence course on metal forming. That is a thing of the past, I believe. I wonder is this videotape is left over from the era when the ASM was in that business.

I would be interested in hearing from people who have seen this product.

	Circle Grid Analysis Product# ASMVCG Price: $185.00 FMA/TPA Member Price: $145.00 Top of Form Quantity: Circle Grid Analysis Bottom of Form
By ASM This 56-minute videotape focuses on the form limit diagram and shape analysis via the stretch-draw chart. Viewers also learn how to distinguish between tooling and design problems and how to select the optimum lubricant by using coefficient of friction test data. This course also covers making a material edge condition analysis.

Vehicle Design at Macomb Community College

Macomb Community College is relatively close to GM's Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. Macomb Community College has long had a program in Vehicle Design. Before being called vehicle Design, it was called Body Drafting. Used to be that graduates of this program went to work for GM.

Non-ferrous stamping dies.

This article was published in the Fabricator in the past. It mentions making stamping dies of materials other than ferrous metals. Does anyone have any actual examples of such?
