Abstract

A burring method includes: a placement process of disposing a sheet-shaped workpiece formed with a through hole such that a punch is positioned on one sheet thickness direction side of the workpiece and a pad is positioned on the opposite side to the one sheet thickness direction side of the workpiece; and an extrusion process of forming a flange by moving the punch toward the opposite side relative to the workpiece and extruding a peripheral rim of the through hole in the workpiece with the punch in a state in which the peripheral rim of the through hole is pressed by the punch and the pad in the sheet thickness direction of the workpiece.

Claims (5)

1. A burring method, comprising: disposing a sheet-shaped workpiece formed with a through hole such that a punch is positioned on one sheet thickness direction side of the workpiece and a pad is positioned on the opposite side to the one sheet thickness direction side of the workpiece; and forming a flange by moving the punch toward the opposite side relative to the workpiece and extruding a peripheral rim of the through hole in the workpiece with the punch in a state in which the peripheral rim of the through hole is pressed by the punch and the pad in the sheet thickness direction of the workpiece; wherein a spacer is provided at a top face of the punch or at a face of the pad opposing the punch, and the spacer is positioned inside the through hole in the forming of the flange; and a thickness of the spacer is thinner than the sheet thickness of the workpiece.

2. The burring method of claim 1 , wherein:

the punch and the pad are formed in circular columnar shapes;

a punch shoulder is connected to an outer peripheral portion of a top face of the punch; and

an external diameter of the pad is no smaller than an external diameter of the top face and no greater than an external diameter of the punch.
