  • Milling Machines and Cnc Mills
    MILLING MACHINES AND CNC MILLS Safety Precautions MILL SAFETY HAZARDS Milling machines and computer-numerical-controlled (CNC) mills use moving cutters and/or move stock materials to cut shapes materials such as metal, wood or plastic. Mills cut away material using rotating blades, and can throw or eject dust and chips at high speed. Flying chips present an eye injury hazard. Fine dust can be a respiratory hazard. Mills can also be very loud, presenting a threat to hearing as well as drowning out voices, phones, and alarms. Rotating machinery presents a serious hazard, as gloves, clothing, jewelry or loose hair can be caught and body parts drawn into the running machine. Mills have guards to prevent some exposure, and some are completely enclosed when running. • Keep hands, tools, and clothing at least 12 inches away from the moving mill and do not SAFETY PRECAUTIONS attempt to adjust the mill while operating. • Wear safety glasses or goggles, and hearing Safety rules include: protection if needed.

  • Mechanical Metalworking: from Manual to Computer-Based Processes
    August 04, 2021 Mechanical metalworking: from manual to computer-based processes Just like in an ordinary kitchen, there is more to the steelmaker’s kitchen than just the processes where high temperature plays a crucial role, such as boiling, roasting or baking. Before a dish can be served, it needs additional work to make it more appealing. The same is true of metals. Prior to their use, plates, tubes, rods and complex steel castings are subject to cold forming by special metalworking machines and lathes, which become more and more sophisticated each year. History of mechanical metalworking Let’s look first into the history of mechanical metalworking and its origins. Unlike many other processes that are unique to steelmaking, some ideas related to the mechanical working of metal surfaces came from related areas. The ancient Egyptians had devices for drilling holes in stones. Wood machining equipment that later evolved into turning lathes existed in the sixth and seventh centuries BC. Yet these types of processes were not applied to metals for hundreds of years. For a long time, metal surface treatment had several restricting factors. First, it required harder tools. Second, small-batch production did not need high-precision metalworking. Third, the industrial revolution and mass production of uniform products only became a reality in the 18th-19th centuries. The third reason was a key prerequisite for the appearance of mechanical metalworking. Smiths that made goods for individual orders gave way to large industrial manufacturers and factories that had the capacity to produce large quantities of uniform metal goods. Gunsmiths were among the first to appreciate the importance of standardised metalworking.

  • 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.

  • Milling Machine Operations
    Milling Machine Operations Milling Machine This full article is about milling machine operations. If you haven’t read our complete article on types of milling machine you can read now by clicking here. Let's starts with some little introduction about milling machine and milling machine operations. A milling machine is a machine tool that cuts metal as the workpiece is fed against a rotating multipoint cutter. The milling cutter rotates at a very high speed because of the multiple cutting edges, it cuts the metal at a very fast rate. This machine can also hold single or multiple cutters at the same time. This is why a milling machine has wide application in production work. This is better for other machines as regards accuracy and better surface finish. And also it is designed for machining a variety of tool room work. Milling Machine Operations The 15 different types of milling machine operations are as follow: 1. Plain Milling Operation 2. Face Milling Operation 3. Side Milling Operation 4. Straddle Milling Operation 5. Angular Milling Operation 6. Gang Milling Operation 7. Form Milling Operation 8. Profile Milling Operation 9. End Milling Operation 10. Saw Milling Operation 11. Milling Keyways, Grooves and Slot 12. Gear Milling 13. Helical Milling 14. Cam Milling 15.

  • Milling Machine a Milling Machine Removes Material from a Work Piece by Rotating a Cutting Tool (Cutter) and Moving It Into the Work Piece
    Milling machine A milling machine removes material from a work piece by rotating a cutting tool (cutter) and moving it into the work piece. Milling machines, either vertical or hori- zontal, are usually used to machine flat and irregularly shaped surfaces and can be used to drill, bore, and cut gears, threads, and slots. The vertical mill, or “column and knee” mill, is the most common milling machine found in machine shops today. The general construction of this mill includes the quill, which moves vertically in the head and contains the spindle and cutting tools. The knee moves up and down by sliding parallel to the column. The column holds the Georgia Tech Research Institute turret, which allows the milling head to be positioned anywhere above the table. Hand wheels move the work table to the left and right (X axis), in and out (Y axis), in addition to moving the knee, saddle, and worktable up and down (Z axis). Hazard Serious injuries and entanglement can occur if the operator con- tacts the rotating cutter. Metal shavings and lubricating/cooling fluids might also present a risk from the point of operation area. Material might spin and strike an operator if the material is not secured to the table. Injuries can also occur from a projected wrench if it is left in the spindle. Solution Illinois Institute of Technology Secure the work piece either by clamping it onto the work table or Vertical “column and knee” mill. by clamping it securely in a vise that is clamped tightly to the table.

Some of machining process required separate machine to carry out machining of product. It means not only consumption of space and overall time increases but also expenses will increases. By developing the special attachment for machine will reduces consumption of time and space. Various operations like Turning, Drilling, Facing, slotting will be done on single machine. Instead of milling machine we are using the special attachment for lathe machine to machining of key way slot.
