The punch die clearance in metal stamping tool is an important factor which decides the produced component’s quality. It affects the size and quality of the profile produced by the blanking or piercing operation. An attempt is taken in this study to analyses the effects of varying punch-die clearances during hole piercing operation in an industrial chain component using DEFORM 3D software. Simulations were conducted with insufficient, optimum and Excessive clearance values and their results are discussed. The simulation experiments are conducted on AISI 1060 steel component used for industrial chain as inner plate, and the results of the simulations are discussed.
