Production of Iron Manufacturing Processes 23 December 2016 Overview of Metals Production of Iron INPUT Manufacturing Processes Iron ore: rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted Limestone: it gathers the impurities in the iron ore to it and forms a lighter liquid that floats on top of the molten iron Coke: it burns causing an intense heat which removes the oxygen from the iron ore thus allowing the molten metal to trickle to the bottom of the furnace OUTPUT Molten iron: it is poured into molds to form what is called “pig iron” billets Slag: it is basically metal oxides and non-iron impurities and it is removed from the top Blast Furnace Note: some slag remains and combines with the molten iron causing the presence of non-metallic inclusions in the pig iron billets. Pig iron is not used as is, it is melted again to Manufacturing Processes reduce its carbon content and it is combined with other elements (silicon, nickel, In general, manufacturing operations and manganese, chromium, molybdenum, etc.) processes can be categorized as: to give the desired material (Cast Iron, Steel, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Alloy steel, etc.) Casting Processes Pig iron

Forming: Extrusion Rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed Extrusion is a process used to create long objects of a fixed cross- through a pair of rolls to give it a desired smaller cross-sectional sectional profile by pushing the material through a die of the dimensions (rolling is usually done at several stages) desired cross-section According to temperature, rolling is classified into: Depending on the desired shape, extrusion .Hot rolling (above crystallization temperature) can be done at hot or cold temperatures .Cold rolling (below crystallization temperature) (usually hot) Rolling is usually used for producing: The two basic types of extrusion are: Plates & Sheets Direct extrusion Bars (material is pushed thru the die) Indirect extrusion (material and container move while the die is stationary) Introduction to Non-Destructive Testing Techniques Instructor: Dr. Ala Hijazi 2 23 December 2016 Bulk Forming: Drawing SheetSheet--MetalMetal Forming Drawing is a process used for long products of small cross- Sheet metal is simply metal formed into thin flat sectional area where they are usually pulled through a die, pieces and thus it can be cut, bent, stretched rather than pushed as in extrusion and formed into a variety of different shapes Drawing is used when the desired reduction in area is not that large Roll forming is used for long and it is usually done at cold parts with constant complex temperatures cross-sections Stretch forming is used for It is usually used for large parts with shallow producing wirers and contours sometimes for plates Deep drawing is used mostly for deep parts with relatively simple shapes SheetSheet--MetalMetal Forming SheetSheet--MetalMetal Forming Stamping includes a variety of operations such as punchingpunching, Spinning is used for small blankingblanking, bendingbending, flangingflanging, or large axisymmetric parts embossingembossing, etc. It is used for simple or complex shapes Explosive forming is used formed at high production rates for very large sheets with relatively complex shapes (explosive charge is used to generate a pressure which forms the sheet-metal in the die) Introduction to Non-Destructive Testing Techniques Instructor: Dr. Ala Hijazi 3 23 December 2016 Material Removal: Material Removal: Machining Machining Machining is the term used to The three principal types of describe a variety of material machining operations are: removal processes in which a Turning sharp cutting tool is used to (A turning tool moves axially, along the side of remove unwanted material from a rotating workpiece) workpiece to achieve a desired Milling geometry (A rotating cutting tool with sharp teeth In general, machining translates along the surface of the workpiece) operations are relatively slow and usually a cutting fluid is Drilling used to reduce friction and (A rotating drill bit enters the workpiece remove excess heat axially and cuts a hole with a diameter equal to that of the tool) Material Removal Material Joining: Welding Welding is a process in which the Grinding is a finishing process used to improve pieces to be joined are melted at the surface finish where an joining interface (usually a filler material abrasive material rubs is added) then allowed to solidify to against the part surface become a strong joint removing tiny pieces of Grinding is usually done at very The most commonly used welding process is Arc Welding high speeds and thus generates where a power supply is used to create and maintain an material very high temperatures electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt metals at the welding point Polishing is the process of Other types of welding include: creating a smooth and shiny Gas

  • Introduction to Metal Forming Operations
    Introduction to Metal Forming Operations IME 340/240 Classification of Forming Processes • There are a number of ways to divide up forming processes – Hot working, warm working, cold working – Bulk forming, sheet metal forming – Primary and component producing processes – Steady and non-steady processes – Continuous and incremental forming processes Classification of Forming Processes • Cold working – Temperature < 0.3 * melting point in deg. K – In practice for most engineering metal this means room temperature – Work hardening is dominant • Hot working – Above the recrystalization temperature – Temperature > 0.5 (or 0.6) * melting point in deg. K – Strain rate sensitivity more important • Warm working – Temperature between 0.3 and 0.5 of melting point – Flow stresses somewhat less than cold working Classification of Forming Processes • Sheet metal forming – Input material in sheet form – Thickness changes very small – Stress systems largely tensile • Bulk forming – Input material in the form of bars, billets, etc. – Thickness of material usually substantially reduced – Stress systems largely compressive Classification of Forming Processes • Primary forming processes – Processes predominantly for producing materials for further processing – Examples are rolling, drawing, extrusion, etc. • Component producing processes – Processes for producing component parts – Input materials produced by primary processes – Examples are forging, deep drawing, stretch forming, etc. Classification of Forming Processes • Steady state forming processes –

  • Strength Simulations of Tension Bars for Heavy Lifting
    Strength simulations of tension bars for heavy lifting Hållfasthetssimuleringar av dragstag för tunga lyft Arvid Hoikka Faculty of health, science and technology Degree project for master of science in engineering, mechanical engineering 30 credit points Supervisor: Jens Bergström Examiner: Pavel Krakhmalev Date: 2018-08-13 Abstract Proplate, a world leading company, is expert on volume-based cutting and machining of both ordinary steel as well as stainless steel. One of Proplate’s mayor products is tension bars, which is a component made to balance high forces and give stability to structures such as cranes, buildings, bridges and much more. Proplate builds their tension bars in different high strength steel materials, purchased from SSAB, and sells them worldwide. Proplate would like to market themselves better and wishes to produce a catalogue for the maximum load that can be applied to their tension bars, as competitors Pretec and Macalloy, already have for their tension bars. The purpose of the project has been to investigate the tension bars and the maximum load they can withstand before failure. The tension bars have been modeled in the CAD-program Creo Parametric, and then sent to the finite element method program ABAQUS to analyze their structural strength. Three different types of tension bars, and a fourth tension bar (called the walnut-strap) used as a connecting element between some of the tension bars, were investigated. They were modeled with sprints, to hold several tension bars together, and with a construction called loader, to simplify the model load application step. The three different types of tension bars have been analyzed as individual and also when connected to other tension bars.
