Features: In general, the upper die of a mold is installed on the slide of a forging press, while the lower die is mounted on the workbench. The upper die moves vertically downward along the slide, enabling various stamping and forging processes in the vertical direction. If it is necessary to form the blank at an angle other than vertical or when the blank's placement determines that it can only withstand lateral forces, the direction of the process force needs to be altered using wedges and wedge slides on the mold. This gives rise to the development of wedge block dies. This atlas compiles the latest achievements of wedge block dies both domestically and internationally, including all effective wedge block dies used in production practice. It strives to diversify the structural forms of molds and ensures that the illustrations are clear and easy to understand. It provides a detailed explanation of the fundamental knowledge of wedge block die design: the characteristics of the wedge block mechanism, the calculation of the required pressure for the wedge block, the optimization design of wedge block dies, the nomogram for wedge angles, and the production drawings of wedge block dies. Through typical examples, it introduces various types of wedge block dies, including: wedge bending dies, double wedge punching and lettering composite dies, wedge bending dies, wedge punching dies, wedge automatic round bending dies, wedge trimming dies, wedge riveting dies, hanger wedge punching dies, and wedge flanging dies, along with typical application examples on buses, integrated circuits, refrigerators, and water heaters. This book serves as a reference for technical personnel and designers in the mold industry's production lines.
