| Research Abstract |
A new micro piercing process was developed ; after a deep indentation is formed on a sheet metal, the other side of the sheet is removed uniformly by chemical etching until the dissolution reaches the tip of indentation. In this study, multi-holes were pierced by the process and the influence of the hole-pitch on the accuracy of the adjacent holes was investigated. Experi-ments were carried out for a 0. 1mm thick copper alloy sheet. By using conical and V-shaped in-denters, circular and rectangular holes having tens of micrometers in size were successfully pro-duced, respectively. The error of thickness reduction by etching was more influential on the dimen-sional accuracy of the hole than that of the indenting depth. The hole shape was distorted when the pitch between holes was below a specific threshold. The threshold pitch for rectangular holes was considerably larger than that for circular holes, which was explained by the metal flow during in-denting.
