Spinning -> PM Processing (H) Flashcards
What is SPINNING?
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43N44ICyuEU)
A sheet metal process used to create circular axisymmetric shapes
MANDREL
Mold with the shape of the internal dimensions and configuration of the desired final part
SPINDLE
Rotates the MANDREL at the necessary speed
TAIL STOCK
Clamps the BLANK cut from the sheet metal against the end of the mandrel
ROLLER/SCISSOR TOOL
Pushes the BLANK over the MANDREL to create the shape
CNC
Computer Numerical Controls
CONVENTIONAL SPINNING
The BLANK remains of constant thickness
SHEAR SPINNING
The BLANK is thinned and the diameter decreases
How to determined it was made with SPINNING?
Tell-tale manufacturing marks will be circumferential (hoop)
DEEP DRAWING and FORMING
Faster than SPINNING
Leave longitudinal marks
PLATE
Metal with thickness of 1/4 in or more
EXPLOSION FORMING (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYL-N01tL-0&feature=youtu.be)
Technique that uses explosions to force metal into dies and molds
EXPLOSION FORMING ADVANTAGES
Shockwaves
Deadens Sound
Cools
Suppresses Flash
Catches Debris
Other examples of EXPLOSION FORMING
EXPLOSIVE BULDGING (
HYDROFORMING (fluid pressure to shape metal)
MAGNETIC PULSE FORMING/ INDUCTIVE PULSE FORMING
Shaping of sheet metal using electromagnetic fields
