Shearing, also known as die cutting, [1] is a process that cuts stock without the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. Strictly speaking, if the cutting blades are straight the process is called shearing; if the cutting blades are curved then they are shearing-type operations. [2]
Blanking is the operation of cutting flat shapes from sheet metal. The outer area of metal remaining after a blanking operation is generally discarded as waste. Size of blank or product is the size of the die & clearance is given on punch. It is a metal cutting operation. In blanking, metal obtained after cutting is not a scrap if it is usable.
Blanking versus piercing. Blanking and piercing are shearing processes in which a punch and die are used to produce parts from coil or sheet stock. Blanking produces the outside features of the component, while piercing produces internal holes or shapes. The web is created after multiple components have been produced and is considered scrap ...
Generally a blanking die may only cut the outside contour of a part, often used for parts with no internal features. Three benefits to die blanking are: Accuracy. A properly sharpened die, with the correct amount of clearance between the punch and die, will produce a part that holds close dimensional tolerances in relationship to the part's edges.
Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining. [1] This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series ...

Gear manufacturing refers to the making of gears. Gears can be manufactured by a variety of processes, including casting , forging , extrusion , powder metallurgy , and blanking . As a general rule, however, machining is applied to achieve the final dimensions, shape and surface finish in the gear.
