Three places we visited: 1. Garner Denver – 3rd place 2. McElroy – really nice park in back 3. Fiberpads Notes: CHAPTER 17 Metal Forming Stresses to plastically deform the metal are usually compressive Examples: rolling, forging, extrusion Desirable mechanical properties: Low yield strength High ductility These properties are affected by temperature: Ductility increases and yield strength decreases when work temperature is raised Bulk Deformation Processes (a) Rolling and (b) forging (c) Extrusion and (d) wire and bar drawing Punch & Die VS Blanking P&D = keep the thing punched out Blanking = keep everything but what was punched out Sheet Metalworking (a) Bending and (b) deep drawing (c) Shearing: (1) punch first contacting sheet and (2) after cutting where Yf = flow stress, that is, the yield strength as a function of strain Yf K n Average flow stress; and = maximum strain during deformation process K n Yf 1 n Cold Working - room temperature Advantages Better accuracy, closer tolerances Better surface finish Strain hardening increases strength and hardness Disadvantages Higher forces and power required for deformation Starting work surfaces must be free of scale and dirt Warm Working - above room temperature but below recrystallization temperature .3 Tm Advantages Lower forces and power than in cold working More intricate work geometries possible Need for annealing may be reduced or eliminated Hot Working temperatures above the recrystallization temperature = .5Tm Advantages Lower forces and power required Metals that usually fracture in cold working can be hot formed Disadvantages Lower dimensional accuracy Higher total energy required Poorer finish Strain rate in forming is directly related to speed of deformation v CHAPTER 18 BULK DEFORMATION 1. Rolling – slab or plate is squeezed between opposing rolls 2. Forging – work is squeezed and shaped between opposing dies 3. Extrusion – work is squeezed through a die opening, thereby taking the shape of the opening 4. Wire and bar drawing – diameter of wire or bar is reduced by pulling it through a die opening Importance of bulk def In hot working, significant shape change can be accomplished In cold working, strength is increased during shape change Little or no waste (a) Two-high, (b) three-high, (c) four-high (d) Cluster mill, (e) tandem rolling mill Rolled Threads > cut threads CHAPTER 19 Advantages of Sheet Metal Parts High strength Good dimensional accuracy Good surface finish Relatively low cost Three Major Categories of Sheet Metal Processes 1. Cutting Shearing to separate large sheets Blanking to cut part perimeters out of sheet metal Punching to make holes in sheet metal 2. Bending Straining sheet around a straight axis 3. Drawing Forming of sheet into convex or concave shapes Three principal operations in press working that cut sheet metal: Shearing Blanking Punching Shearing Operation (a) Blanking - sheet metal cutting to separate piece (called a blank) from surrounding stock, (b) punching - similar to blanking except cut piece is scrap, called a slug V-Bending - Low production, Performed on a press brake, and V-dies are simple and inexpensive Chapter 20 - Machining Machining is Important Variety of work materials can be machined Most frequently used to cut metals Variety of part shapes and special geometric features possible: Screw threads Accurate round holes Very straight edges and surfaces Good dimensional accuracy and surface finish Disadvantages Wasteful of material Chips generated in machining are wasted material At least in the unit operation Time consuming A machining operation generally takes longer to shape a given part than alternative shaping processes Most important machining operations: Turning Drilling Milling 1. Single-Point Tools One dominant cutting edge Point is usually rounded to form a nose radius Turning uses single point tools 2. Multiple Cutting Edge Tools More than one cutting edge Motion relative to work achieved by rotating Drilling and milling use rotating multiple cutting edge tools Roughing vs. Finishing Cuts Roughing - removes large amounts of material from starting work part Some material remains for finish cutting High feeds and depths, low speeds Finishing - completes part geometry Final dimensions, tolerances, and finish Low feeds and depths, high cutting speeds Chip Thickness Ratio to r tc where r = chip thickness ratio; to = thickness of the chip prior to chip formation; and tc = chip thickness after separation Chip thickness after cut is always greater than before, so chip ratio is always less than 1.0 Four Basic Types of Chip in Machining 1. Discontinuous chip ---Brittle work materials, Low cutting speeds, Large feed and depth of cut, High tool-chip friction 2. Continuous chip --- Ductile work materials, High cutting speeds, Small feeds and depths, Sharp cutting edge, Low tool-chip friction 3. Continuous chip with Built-up Edge (BUE) ---- Ductile materials, Low-to-medium cutting speeds, Tool-chip friction causes portions of chip to adhere to rake face, BUE forms, then breaks off, cyclically 4. Serrated chip ----- Semicontinuous - saw-tooth appearance, Cyclical chip forms with alternating high shear strain then low shear strain , Associated with difficult-to-machine metals at high cutting speeds Coefficient of friction between tool and chip F N Friction angle related to coefficient of friction as tan Shear stress acting along the shear plan Fs As where As = area of the shear plane t ow As sin Shear stress = shear strength S of work material during cutting CHAPTER 21 - MACHINING OPERATIONS AND MACHINE TOOLS Rotational - (a) cylindrical or disk-like shape Nonrotational - (b) block-like and plate-like CAPTER 22 - CUTTING TOOL TECHNOLOGY 3 Modes of tool failure 1. Fracture failure Cutting force becomes excessive and/or dynamic, leading to brittle fracture 2. Temperature failure Cutting temperature is too high for the tool material 3. Gradual wear Gradual wearing of the cutting tool Tool wear Taylor Tool Life Equation vTn = C v = cutting speed; T = tool life; and n and C are parameters that depend on feed, depth of cut, work material, tool material, and tool life criterion Tool Life Criteria in Production – worst to least worst 1. Complete failure of cutting edge 2. Visual inspection of wear by the machine operator 3. Fingernail test across cutting edge 4. Changes in sound emitted from operation 5. Chips become stringy and difficult to dispose 6. Degradation of surface finish 7. Increased power 8. Workpiece count 9. Cumulative cutting time TOOL Catagories Single point tools Used for turning, boring, shaping, and planing Multiple cutting edge tools Used for drilling, reaming, tapping, milling, broaching, and sawing Cutting fluid contaminates - tramp oil garbage small chips molds, etc.
