  • Integrating Cold Forging and Progressive Stamping for Cost
    Precision Cold Forging Progressive Stamping Enables Cost Effective Production of Complex Parts Overview Both Cold Forging and Precision Stamping are proven technologies used in the fabrication of parts for a wide range of industries. Many of our previous Tech Bulletins have detailed the benefits of each technology, and in several cases, these processes are thought of as an either- or choice. This Tech Bulletin provides insights into how combining these technologies in a process known as Precision Cold Forging Progressive Stamping can provide significant synergies and additional benefits for the cost-effective production of complex parts that cannot easily be created by either technique alone. What is Cold Forging? As detailed in other Interplex Tech Bulletins, Cold Forging is essentially an impact forming process in which billets of raw material are compressed and reformed into a part’s desired shape. Cold Forging offers the key benefits of lower costs, rapid high-volume throughput, high part strength, and very efficient material utilization. This, in comparison to processes like machining that remove Figure 1 – Cold Forged significant amounts of raw material rather than simply reforming all the Automotive Seat Belt Gear material into the desired shape. What is Precision Stamping? Precision Stamping is another proven technology that uses a press and die to form sheet metal, blanks or coil material into desired shapes. Variations of the stamping process can effectively yield several different output results including bending, embossing, flanging, coining, etc. Like Cold Forging, Precision Stamping typically offers high material utilization with minimal waste and can also deliver high-volume production results.

  • Modification in Forming Die to Overcome Manufacturing Process
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 7, July-2020 ISSN 2229-5518 41 Modification in Forming Die to Overcome Manufacturing Process Limitation Prof.B.R.Chaudhari[1], PrathmeshKulkarni[2], Tejas Potdar[3], Omkar Pawar[4], Akhilesh Nikam[5] Abstract—Forming of sheet metal is common and vital process in manufacturing industry. Sheet metal forming is the plastic deformation of the work over an axis, creating a change in the parts geometry. Generally, there are two parts used in forming process; one of the part is punch which performs the stretching, bending and blanking operation and another is Die block which secularly clamps the workpiece and same operation as punch. Forming processes are particular manufacturing processes which make use of suitable stresses like compression, tension, shear, combined stresses which causes plastic deformation of the material to produce required shapes. During Forming process, no material is removed i.e. they are deformed and displaced. Some examples of forming processes are Forging, Sheet metal working, thread rolling, Electromagnetic forming, Explosive forming, rotary swaging, etc. Here the problem statement of the project is to combine these two parts design in one forming die which is now manufacturing separately on two different forming dies.

  • 1 Modeling and Optimization in Manufacturing by Hydroforming and Stamping
    13 1 Modeling and Optimization in Manufacturing by Hydroforming and Stamping Hakim Naceur1 and Waseem Arif2 1Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, CNRS, INSA Hauts-de-France, UMR 8201-LAMIH, F-59313 Valenciennes, France 2University of Gujrat, Mechanical Engineering Department, Gujrat, Pakistan 1.1 Introduction Due to the strict environmental policies and shortage of energy, the manufacturing industries are pressurized to cut down the raw material cost and to save energy. This is particularly true in the automotive industry, where manufacturers are obliged to develop advanced techniques to reduce the pollution by reducing the fuel con- sumption without significant increase in the cost. Among all the manufacturing techniques, the stamping and hydroforming methods hold a top position among the cold sheet metal forming processes due to the versatility of components that can be produced and high production rates [1]. Stamping and hydroforming processes are intensively used in various industrial sectors such as transportation, car body in white (Figure 1.1), household appliances, metal packaging, etc. The use of fluid pressure has been remarkably increased in sheet metal form- ing processes since it allows a superior final surface quality of the workpiece than standard deep drawing process [2–4]. In particular, sheet hydroforming process has great potential to manufacture body-in-white parts with consistently extreme level of ultimate tensile strength, reduced weight, geometrical accuracy, and minimum tol- erances. It has certain advantages, e.g. more uniform thickness distribution of the final workpiece component, lower tooling cost, and versatility to produce partswith different geometries using the same setup [5]. The worldwide acknowledgment of these two sheet metal forming processes is largely due to the external pressure from the government legislators to develop lightweight products.

  • A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting
    A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting Stephen P. Midson The Midson Group, Inc. Denver, Colorado USA Andrew Jackson Arthur Jackson & Co., Ltd. Brighouse UK Abstract The first semi-solid casting process to be commercialized was thixocasting, where a pre-cast billet is re-heated to the semi-solid solid casting temperature. Advantages of thixocasting include the production of high quality components, while the main disadvantage is the higher cost associated with the production of the pre-cast billets. Commercial pressures have driven casters to examine a different approach to semi-solid casting, where the semi-solid slurry is generated directly from the liquid adjacent to a die casting machine. These processes are collectively referred to as rheocasting, and there are currently at least 15 rheocasting processes either in commercial production or under development around the world. This paper will describe technical aspects of both thixocasting and rheocasting, comparing the procedures used to generate the globular, semi-solid slurry. Two rheocasting processes will be examined in detail, one involved in the production of high integrity properties, while the other is focusing on reducing the porosity content of conventional die castings. Key Words Semi-solid casting, thixocasting, rheocasting, aluminum alloys 22 / 1 Introduction Semi-solid casting is a modified die casting process that reduces or eliminates the porosity present in most die castings [1] . Rather than using liquid metal as the feed material, semi-solid processing uses a higher viscosity feed material that is partially solid and partially liquid. The high viscosity of the semi-solid metal, along with the use of controlled die filling conditions, ensures that the semi-solid metal fills the die in a non-turbulent manner so that harmful gas porosity can be essentially eliminated.

But, to make this happen, you need to make sure every factor in the equation is what it should be, and this includes the inside bend radius . How exactly is this inside bend radius achieved? To uncover this, we must first look at the different methods of bending on a press brake: air forming, bottom bending, and coining. The Methods of bending There are three different types of bending methods used in the forming of sheet metal: “ air forming“, “Bottom Bending and “Coining. Each of these methods has a specific purpose and application. In this chapter the benefits and the inefficiencies of each will be discussed. Coining Note that there are three bending methods, not two. Bottom bending and coining often are confused for the same process, but they are not. Unlike bottoming, coining actually penetrates and thins the material. Coining is the oldest method and for the most part, no longer practiced. Why? Because of the extreme tonnages this method requires. An amount of tonnage so great that the material “flows” on a molecular level while under this extreme pressure. Coining forces the punch nose into the material, penetrating the neutral axis, figure 1. Technically, any radius may be coined, but traditionally, coining has been used to establish a dead-sharp bend. This method not only requires excessive tonnages, it also destroys the material’s integrity.
