  • Hand Spinning and CNC Spinning
    Hand Spinning and CNC Spinning 931 N. Ridge Avenue, Lombard, IL 60148 Phone: 630.268.9292 • Fax: 630.268.9393 [email protected] • www. helandermetal.com Metal Spinning, a Bridge Between Craft and Automation Metal Spinning is a metalworking process that stands firmly between the artisans and craftsmen of the past and the machine tool automation of the present and future. It is a process certain to benefit from the high volume manufacturing techniques being developed, while still demanding high levels of individual craftsmanship. Manufacturers choosing to work in metal spinning will tap into the high production capabilities of an automated shop floor, but also require manual spinning to create more intricate architectural and decorative products. Combining both of these techniques allows for the mass production of the bulk of a product line through CNC automation, while finishing it up with hand spinning creating a product that is hand-worked. Metal Spinning Technology: A Closer Look On the surface, the spinning process is a simple one. A formed block, or mandrel, is mounted in the center drive section of a lathe. This formed block is the part that defines the shape of the final product. The block is machined from a variety of materials, including wood, polyurethane, aluminum and steel, each having its own strengths and weaknesses. A pre-sized metal disk, called the work piece, is then clamped against the ‘front’ of the block by a pressure pad. This pressure pad is also attached to the tailstock of the lathe. The block and the attached work piece are then rotated at high speeds.

  • Journeyman Skill List
    These Blacksmithing Skill standards were developed by the Appalachian Blacksmiths Association, an ABANA chapter and registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, United States Department of Labor. Before someone is accepted as a journeyman blacksmith, they need to be able to perform the following productively, quickly and accurately. It is a good self check list on the skills you need to develop in your craft. Text in dark red , in parentheses and with letter designations are the additions of Jock Dempsey, anvilfire guru, for his students. a. Apprentice will keep sketchbook(s) and notes detailing their work, ideas, and progress toward becoming a Journeyman. b. Show proficiency in shop math, mensuration and layout. Measure a sample block of metal and calculate its weight to within 1% or less. Create a layout with bluing using scriber, punch and dividers with exterior outline and an odd number bolt circle. c.

Abdel-Rahman Department of Mechanical Engineering Minia University Minia, EGYPT Ibrahim M. Hassab-Allah Department of Mechanical Engineering Assiut University Assiut, EGYPT Abstract: The thin wall cup products are largely used in industries, it is usually made by a conventional spinning process to produce the cup shape, followed by wall thickness reduction process (Flow Forming) to reduce the cup wall thickness. There is no one process can perform a thin wall cup in one stroke. The deep drawing process with ironing at the same stroke is now being investigated in some literatures, but it still cannot reduce the wall thickness up to 50 or 70%. This article is aiming to investigate the conventional spinning process and the flow forming process; how these two processes conducted and the development in the two processes. A review of the two processes is included in this article. After that; suggestions for future work in the two processes and to conduct the two processes together are prescribed. Keywords—Conventional spinning, Flow forming, Thin wall cup 1. INTRODUCTION Production process is mainly a compound activity, concerned with people who have a broad number of disciplines and skills and a widespread kind of equipment, tools, and utensils with several levels of computerization, such as CPUs, robots, and other equipment.

Each element in the blank undergoes appreciable radial displacement from its original position whereas the change in the thickness is virtually zero. A/P Lee Kim Seng A/P Lee Kim Seng Flow turning (sometimes known as power spinning, shear spinning, shear forming, spin forging and hydro spinning), resembles conventional spinning, in that a flat disc is transformed into final shape by localized plastic deformation between a mandrel and a roller. However, during flow turning, each element in the blank retains its radial position. A/P Lee Kim Seng The final wall thickness of the component is given by α tf = to sin o For preformed cone sin α t = t o f 1 sin β β (t1 = to sin ) A/P Lee Kim Seng The pre-requisite for flow turning is axial symmetry, thus allall conicconic sectionssections can be formed provided a mandrel is made for the required section and the roller can be made to describe the required profile.

  • Shell Mold Casting
    Shell Mold Casting Shell mold casting or shell molding is a metal casting process in manufacturing industry in which the mold is a thin hardened shell of sand and thermosetting resin binder backed up by some other material. Shell mold casting is particularly suitable for steel castings under 10 kg; however almost any metal that can be cast in sand can be cast with shell molding process. Also much larger parts have been manufactured with shell molding. Typical parts manufactured in industry using the shell mold casting process include cylinder heads, gears, bushings, connecting rods, camshafts and valve bodies. The Process The first step in the shell mold casting process is to manufacture the shell mold. The sand we use for the shell molding process is of a much smaller grain size than the typical greensand mold. This fine grained sand is mixed with a thermosetting resin binder. A special metal pattern is coated with a parting agent; (typically silicone), which will latter facilitate in the removal of the shell. The metal pattern is then heated to a temperature of (175 °C-370 °C) . The sand mixture is then poured or blown over the hot casting pattern. Due to the reaction of the thermosetting resin with the hot metal pattern a thin shell forms on the surface of the pattern. The desired thickness of the shell is dependent upon the strength requirements of the mold for the particular metal casting application. A typical industrial manufacturing mold for a shell molding casting process could be 7.5mm thick. The thickness of the mold can be controlled by the length of time the sand mixture is in contact with the metal casting pattern.
