By Joseph Suydam n the fabrication industry, lightweighting has been a primary focus I in the automotive sector to produce a final product that is as fuel effi- cient as possible. With research and development constantly enhanc- ing the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys to produce the best possible strength-to-weight ratio, it’s easy to see why aluminum has become a go-to alloy in vehicle construction. Beyond its lighter weight, which can enhance fuel efficiency and performance capabilities, alu- minum is also easily recyclable and in the automotive industry, it can Metal fabricators are investigating how to best improve safety by absorbing more crash energy than steel. process aluminum alloys as demand for aluminum With the growing demand for aluminum parts in automotive and parts grows in the transportation industry. aerospace, metal fabricators are investigating how to best process aluminum alloys. After aluminum is forged, cutting is one of the first stages done for fabrication. One important aspect to consider is cut- handling is also very helpful with product out- ting methodology. While aluminum is lightweight and comparatively put, since aluminum is a softer alloy and is easier to cut than exotic alloys, it still presents its share of challenges, more vulnerable to dings and dents. Therefore Joseph Suydam such as gumminess, chip packing and deburring. However, with the the removal and transportation of finished Behringer Saws, right equipment, aluminum can be very efficiently sawn via two meth- product is also important. Inc. ods: circular sawing or band sawing. BAND SAWING CIRCULAR SAWING Recent advancements in band saw technology and their ability to Generally, one of the most accurate and fastest sawing methods for run blades at high surface feet per minute (sfm) has allowed band cutting aluminum alloys is with the carbide circular cold saw. Since saws to also make quick work of aluminum alloys. Historically, band aluminum is a lighter material it makes sense to cut it with higher speeds saws couldn’t generate enough band speed without complications and feeds and circular saws cut very fast. In addition, a circular saw that led to blade damage and scrapped parts. Years of research blade has to be more than twice the diameter of the part being cut. The and development have resulted in band saws that can now reach larger, heavier blade often requires a larger saw and footprint. Thus to over 4,000 sfm, with the stability and blade tracking necessary to no surprise, the circular saw is a relatively expensive capital investment, cut efficiently through aluminum. This is good news for aluminum and the blades are more expensive than band saw blades. The ability fabricators because not only is the blade itself less expensive than to turn the blade at such a high rpm also requires a robust and stable a carbide circular blade, but the price to capacity range is so much saw, built and designed specifically for such an application. more diverse than that of a circular cold saw. The speed at which the circular cold saw can produce finished The most critical part of cutting aluminum is during the entry and products also lends itself well to the integration of a material han- exit of the material, where the possibility of blade damage is the great- dling solution, to keep pace with the cutting production. Depending est. But today’s band saws now allow the operator to program ramp on many factors, including the size, grade, and length of cut, it may feed and speed, which allows the blade to enter the cut slowly, ramp take only seconds to minutes to completely cut up a 20 ft aluminum up speed, and then slow again as it exits the cut. This type of control billet. The operator then has to remove the finished parts and load greatly reduces or eliminates the possibility of blade damage. Some a new bar, leaving the saw idle in the process. Integrating a flat or band saws also feature a servo-driven precision downfeed control that incline magazine that allows the operator to load multiple bars at a automatically adjusts to blade pressure, creating an optimal balance time, enabling the saw to run non-stop for many hours, dramatically of feed rate and pressure for improved quality and cutting rates. The increases productivity and minimizes non production time. Material downfeed power/saw blade pressure is monitored by a cutting pres- 32 FABRICATING & METALWORKING MARCH 2016 fabricatingandmetalworking.com sure sensing system to assure an optimum balance between blade feed and pressure. Operators can therefore maximize material feed rates without concern of overloading the blade. Also, an electrically powered ball screw-driven material feed gripper eliminates backlash and ensures precise material positioning for improved length accuracy. Further advancements in blade designs have also allowed band saws to become a viable cutting option for aluminum fabrication. Traditionally, bi-metal band saw blades typically used with band saws had a rake set that left “shadow” lines or material build up on the part. However, band saw blades are now available with carbide tipped teeth, special coatings and tooth designs that produce an exceptional This Behringer HBM-800-ALU automatic band saw for cut with a clean, flat, smooth surface. Band saws also offer another aluminum is ideal for economic, precise cutting of 800 mm important advantage: less material loss. Band saw blades produce round and 800 mm x 800 mm square material. Its 22 kW drive a kerf that is generally one third to half as thick as a kerf produced and frequency control achieve the higher cutting speeds required to process aluminum with little vibration.

  • Circular Saw Safety
    CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY Tool Box Talk Hand-held circular saws are powerful tools that can spin their blades at over 5,000 revolutions per minute. It’s important to choose safety and always use saws properly and with care. Hazards to be aware of include noise, flying debris, electrical, and saw kickback. Saws should be inspected before use and only used by qualified personnel. Safe setup prior to cutting: Safety while cutting: • Always wear ANSI Z87.1+ safety glasses, • Avoid cutting into blind areas goggles, or face shield with eye protection • Avoid twisting the saw to change, cut, or check alignment • Hearing protection is recommended; saws are loud • Saw should not need to be forced during cutting and longtime exposure may lead to hearing loss • Check for obstructions or objects like nails and screws • Wear proper respiratory protection when required • Do not carry the saw with a finger on the trigger switch • Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry • Stand to the side when cutting to keep out of the line that may be pulled into the saw of cut if kickbacks occur, do not overextend — position • While unplugged, check retracting lower your feet so you’re balanced and in full control blade guard to ensure it works freely • Be alert to the possibility of the blade binding • Tighten blade-locking nut to manufacturer specifications and the potential for and kickback • While unplugged, set and lock blade depth so lowest tooth • Always use both hands on the handles for does not extend more than 0.3 cm (⅛") beneath the wood maximum control, and

  • Manufacturing Glossary
    MANUFACTURING GLOSSARY Aging – A change in the properties of certain metals and alloys that occurs at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures after a hot-working operation or a heat-treatment (quench aging in ferrous alloys, natural or artificial aging in ferrous and nonferrous alloys) or after a cold-working operation (strain aging). The change in properties is often, but not always, due to a phase change (precipitation), but never involves a change in chemical composition of the metal or alloy. Abrasive – Garnet, emery, carborundum, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, diamond, cubic boron nitride, or other material in various grit sizes used for grinding, lapping, polishing, honing, pressure blasting, and other operations. Each abrasive particle acts like a tiny, single-point tool that cuts a small chip; with hundreds of thousands of points doing so, high metal-removal rates are possible while providing a good finish. Abrasive Band – Diamond- or other abrasive-coated endless band fitted to a special band machine for machining hard-to-cut materials. Abrasive Belt – Abrasive-coated belt used for production finishing, deburring, and similar functions.See coated abrasive. Abrasive Cutoff Disc – Blade-like disc with abrasive particles that parts stock in a slicing motion. Abrasive Cutoff Machine, Saw – Machine that uses blade-like discs impregnated with abrasive particles to cut/part stock. See saw, sawing machine. Abrasive Flow Machining – Finishing operation for holes, inaccessible areas, or restricted passages. Done by clamping the part in a fixture, then extruding semisolid abrasive media through the passage. Often, multiple parts are loaded into a single fixture and finished simultaneously. Abrasive Machining – Various grinding, honing, lapping, and polishing operations that utilize abrasive particles to impart new shapes, improve finishes, and part stock by removing metal or other material.See grinding.

  • Safe Hand Tool and Portable Power Tool Use and Inspections
    Safe Tool Use • Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. – All volunteers should have hard hats and safety glasses on at all times while on site. – In addition: • Provide dust masks (sanding, sweeping, insulating, etc.) • Provide ear plugs (power tools, work in enclosed spaces) • Provide knee pads, gloves, and any other safety equipment to increase comfort of crew members. Safe Tool Use • Do not allow the operation of tools without approval and supervision. – Make sure all members of your crews are trained to use the tools they need. – Remember: Everyone must get an orientation to all power saws before they use them, regardless of their personal experience. • Allow volunteers time to learn and encourage them to practice. – Make sure they are comfortable using tools after instruction. Safe Tool Use • Do not over-exert yourself or the tool. – This can lead to slips and strains. Encourage volunteers to take breaks rather than overexerting or straining themselves. • Place yourself in a good body position. – Most hand tool accidents result from being struck by the tool or flying chips. • Use only sharp knives, blades and bits. – Replace as necessary. Make sure volunteers are comfortable replacing bits and blades or coming to you when they need one replaced. Inspecting Hand Tools • Regularly inspect tools for broken or missing pieces. – Inspect screws, nuts, bolts and moveable parts to make sure they are tightened. – Check handles for cracks and splinters. – Never use tape to fix a handle; it is a direct OSHA violation. X • Do not use damaged tools. – Take the tool out of use , clearly label it and send it to the warehouse for repairs.
