Metal stampings website?

[RUSO]

Does any know of a good website that defines all the terminology used in metal stamping fabrication??

One with with a lot pictures would be preferred.
Or recommend a good book?

Getting into stampings and need to get up to speed on
terms like "back break", "fracture", "roll over", etc, etc.

Differences in progressive vs compound dies vs one up dies, etc.

Thanks in advance.

A good place to start would be the Precision Metalforming Association. They have a book/CD on part design. I don't have a copy at hand but $50 is pretty cheap and they should know what they are talking about.

In addition to the PMA book/CD, ASM HANDBOOK Volume 14B [/I]Metalworking: Sheet Forming[/I] is a state-of-the art reference on this subject. You can obtain it from the ASM International bookstore:
