  • Effect of Homogenization on Recrystallization and Precipitation
    Materials Transactions, Vol. 49, No. 2 (2008) pp. 250 to 259 #2008 The Japan Institute of Metals Effect of Homogenization on Recrystallization and Precipitation Behavior of 3003 Aluminum Alloy Hsin-Wen Huang, Bin-Lung Ou and Cheng-Ting Tsai Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Central University, Chung-Li, Taiwan 320, R.O. China This investigation studies 3003 aluminum alloys for automobile heat exchangers. The effects of precipitation in homogenization treatments, recrystallization in extrusion and brazing on extrusion forming ability and final material properties are examined. At first, fine second phase particles were precipitated during the 460C Â 9 h homogenization treatment and coarse particles were precipitated by homogenization treatments with 600C Â 9 h. Second, when the precipitation were not plentiful and fine enough during extrusion, the amount of solution dominated the extrusion breakout pressure, and recrystallization was easier; on the contrary, the domination state was replaced by plentiful and fine precipitated particles, and recrystallization became more difficult. Additionally, the hardness after extrusion was lower in the complete recrystallization position, and higher in the incomplete recrystallization position. Finally, in brazing, the sample under the 460C Â 9h condition (a) underwent full recrystallization from partial recrystallization with a reduction in strength; the local position of the edge of the sample under the 600C Â 9h ! 460C Â 3 h condition (c) exhibited a second recrystallization and a significant drop in hardness.

  • Metal Extrusion and Drawing Processes and Equipment
    Hail University College of Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Metal Extrusion and Drawing Processes and Equipment Ch 15 Metal Extrusion and Drawing Extrusion and drawing involve, respectively, pushing or pulling a material through a die basically for the purpose of reducing or changing its cross-sectional area. Extrusion and drawing have numerous applications in the manufacture of continuous as well as discrete products from a wide variety of metals and alloys. In extrusion, a cylindrical billet is forced through a die in a manner similar to squeezing toothpaste from a tube or extruding Play-Doh ,in various cross sections in a toy press. Metal Extrusion Typical products made by extrusion are railings for sliding doors, window frames, tubing having various cross sections, aluminum ladder frames, and numerous structural and architectural shapes. Extrusions can be cut into desired lengths, which then become discrete parts, such as brackets, gears, and coat hangers Commonly extruded materials are aluminum, copper, steel, magnesium, and lead; other metals Depending on the ductility of the material, extrusion is carried out at room or elevated temperatures. Extrusion at room temperature often is combined with forging operations, in which case it generally is known as cold Extrusions and examples of products made by extrusion sectioning off extrusions Drawing In drawing, the cross section of solid rod, wire, or tubing is reduced or changed in shape by pulling it through a die. Drawn rods are used for shafts, spindles, and small pistons and as the raw material for fasteners (such as rivets, bolts, and screws). In addition to round rods, various profiles can be drawn.

  • Soldering Guidelines for Land Grid Array Packages Application Note 61
    Soldering Guidelines for Land Grid Array Packages Application Note 61 Summary The objective of this application note is to provide Peregrine Semiconductor customers with general guidelines for the soldering and assembly of land grid array (LGA) packages. Precise process development and designed experimentation are needed to optimize specific appli- cation/performance. Introduction LGAs are grid array packages with terminal pads on the bottom surface. These are leadless packages with electrical connections made via lands on the bottom side of the component to the surface of the connecting substrate (PCB, ceramic, LTCC, etc.). The LGA is typically made with organic laminate or PC board as substrate with nickel-gold (NiAu)-plated termina- tions. Other component termination plating or substrate might be used based on application. The LGA solder interconnect is formed solely by solder paste applied at board assembly because there are no spheres attached to the LGA. This results in a lower standoff height of approximately 0.06 mm to 0.10 mm, which is favored for portable product applications. The lower standoff height also allows more space above the package for heatsink solution or for thin form factor application. LGA eliminates the risk that customers receive packages with damaged or missing solder spheres due to shipping and handling. Reflow soldering of LGA assemblies provides mechanical, thermal and electrical connections between the component leads or terminations and the substrate surface mount land pattern. Solder paste may be applied to the surface mount lands by various methods, such as screen printing and stencil printing. Peregrine Semiconductor LGA packages are categorized as surface mount components (SMCs).

  • Development of Guidelines for Warm Forging of Steel Parts
    Development of Guidelines for Warm Forging of Steel Parts THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Niranjan Rajagopal, B.Tech Graduate Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering The Ohio State University 2014 Master's Examination Committee: Dr.Taylan Altan, Advisor Dr.Jerald Brevick Copyright by Niranjan Rajagopal 2014 ABSTRACT Warm forging of steel is an alternative to the conventional hot forging technology and cold forging technology. It offers several advantages like no flash, reduced decarburization, no scale, better surface finish, tight tolerances and reduced energy when compared to hot forging and better formability, lower forming pressures and higher deformation ratios when compared to cold forging. A system approach to warm forging has been considered. Various aspects of warm forging process such as billet, tooling, billet/die interface, deformation zone/forging mechanics, presses for warm forging, warm forged products, economics of warm forging and environment & ecology have been presented in detail. A case study of forging of a hollow shaft has been discussed. A comparison of forging loads and energy required to forge the hollow shaft using cold, warm and hot forging process has been presented. ii DEDICATION This document is dedicated to my family. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to my advisor, Prof. Taylan Altan for accepting me in his research group, Engineering Research Center for Net Shape Manufacturing (ERC/NSM) and allowing me to do thesis under his supervision. The support of Dr. Jerald Brevick along with other professors at The Ohio State University was also very important in my academic and professional development.
