Force to smooth a 1 mm surface bump out of a steel of sheet

AI Thread Summary
The force required to smooth a 1 mm surface bump from a steel sheet depends on the bump's shape and formation method. A steep-edged bump created by punching may require minimal energy to flatten but could easily fall back out. Conversely, a conical bump necessitates a force equivalent to that used in its creation for effective flattening. Additional factors such as the possibility of using heat, access to a press, and the type of steel (low or high carbon) also influence the required force. Understanding these variables is crucial for determining the appropriate approach to flattening the bump.

TL;DR Summary
How much force does it take to have 1 mm surface bump of diameter 16 mm circle area out of 1 mm thick steel plate
Roughly, how much force does it take to make 1 mm surface bump of diameter 16 mm circle area out of 1 mm thick steel plate of far larger area (e.g. a muscled hand pounding it laid over the base with 16 mm dia. hole by M16 bolt medium is viable enough) ?

It depends on the shape of the bump and how it was formed.

If a steep edged bump with a flat top was created with a punch, then the disc will now be free. It will take little energy to knock the punching back into the hole, but it will probably fall out again.

If the bump is conical, it will take as much force to flatten it, as was used to create it.

What shape is the bump, and how was it formed.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
