Maintenance Practices M7.14 Sheet Metal Flashcards
How do you know which direction the grain is running on sheet metal
Same direction as the writing is stamped
When bending metal what must be remembered
Bend 90° to the grain
What stresses is sheet metal subject to when being bent
Tensile and compression forces
Where does the neutral axis run on a metal that is being bent
The centre
How is sheet metal stored
In a frame with appropriate paperwork
What is important to remember about the Neutral line
It is in neither compression or tension
What is important to remember about K factor
For every 90° bend K factor = 1
What is the mood point
Where the mold lines intersect
What is subtracted from EACH flat
Set back
What are bends inspected for after bending
Cracks
What is the bend sight line
1 bend radius from the bend tangent line
When bending ally what must you remember
Might have to go slightly over due to spring back
What is max juggle
2-3 thickness maximum
What is a room temp cure
18-25°c 48 hours to 7 days
When increasing bonding temp to 50-70°c how quick can cure time be
2-4 hours
What is hot bonding controlled with
Thermocouples
Does it take a longer time or shorter time for a cure to carry out in warm temp
Shorter time when warmer
What is a disadvantage of using a heat lamp
Can cause high surface temps
What are autoclaves
Big ovens giving ideal bonding
What is a disadvantage of heat blankets
Can’t be used on complicated shapes
