H- PM and SPINNING Flashcards
A sheet metal process used to create circular axisymmetric shapes
SPINNING
Mold with the shape of the internal dimensions and configuration of the desired final part
MADREL
Rotates the MANDREL at the necessary speed
SPINDLE
Clamps the BLANK cut from the sheet metal against the end of the mandrel
TAIL STOCK
Pushes the BLANK over the MANDREL to create the shape
ROLLER TOOL
The BLANK remains of constant thickness
CONVENTIONAL SPINNING
The BLANK is thinned and the diameter decreases
SHEAR SPINNING
Metal with thickness of 1/4 in or more
PLATE
Faster than SPINNING
Leave longitudinal marks
DEEP DRAWING and FORMING
Technique that uses explosions to force metal into dies and molds
EXPLOSION FORMING
EXPLOSION FORMING ADVANTAGES
Shockwaves
Deadens Sound
Cools
Suppresses Flash
Catches Debris
Shaping of sheet metal using electromagnetic fields
MAGNETIC PULSE FORMING/ INDUCTIVE PULSE FORMING
Cup which metal is poured through to steady the stream and prevent splashing
TUNDISH
Powdered metal is placed in a DIE CAVITY with the cross section of the desired part, and it is punched by a PRESS
COMPACTION
Powdered metal has been fully PRESSED and highly porous. Intense stress is generated at small points of contact causing limited fusion between particles.
GREEN MEANS INCOMPLETE
GREEN COMPACT (GREEN STATE)
Powdered metal is placed in a flexible rubber bag and then sealed inside a chamber. Pressurized fluid applied in all directions uniformly densifies the bag.
ISOSTATIC COMPACTION (to make stock material for PM)
Added to metals like Tungsten Carbide to help it stay in a GREEN COMPACT STATE
POLYMER BINDER
GREEN COMPACT is placed in a SINTERING OVEN to reduce the porosity
SINTERING
Steps of SINTERING
PREHEAT ZONE
HOT ZONE (MAX TEMP -> 1/2 Melting Point)
COOLING ZONE
Pores are filled with fluid after air is drawn out in a vacuum chamber (OIL IMPREGNATED BEARINGS) (Surface tension prevents oil from coming out)
IMPREGNATION
MEDICAL IMPLANTS
TITANIUM
Which metals cannot be used for this technique?
TUNGSTEN (high melting point)
TITANIUM (reactive when molten)
Types of MAGNETIC PULSE FORMING
MAGNETIC PULSE BULDGING
MANGETIC PULSE CRIMPING
