Doing a good job of continuous stretching mould requires comprehensive consideration of many aspects such as design, process, material, manufacturing and debugging. The following are the key steps and considerations: 1. Design and process planning Process decomposition According to the shape of the product and material properties, reasonable distribution of the number of times of stretching and deformation. Avoid a single stretch too large to cause rupture, or too small to increase costs. Gradual size reduction (stepwise stretching) is usually adopted. Layout of work stations Arrange punching, stretching, shaping, trimming and other work stations in the continuous mould to ensure smooth connection of all processes. The spacing of the stations should take into account the material flow and the strength of the mould. Material flow simulation Use software (e.g. AutoForm, Dynaform) to simulate the flow of metal, predict the risk of wrinkles and rupture, and optimise the mould structure. 2. Material selection and control Material to be processed - Select materials with good ductility (e.g. stainless steel, aluminium alloy, mild steel).    - Control the material thickness tolerance (within ±0.02mm) to avoid uneven stretching.  - Mould materials - Select high hardness and wear-resistant materials (e.g. SKD11, DC53, cemented carbide) for key parts (convex mould, concave mould).    - Surface treatment: TD treatment, chrome plating or nitriding treatment to improve wear resistance. 3. Mould structure design points - Clearance control The gap between the convex and concave moulds is usually 1.1~1.2 times the thickness of the material (slightly larger for the first stretching, and gradually reduced for the subsequent ones). If the clearance is too small, it is easy to cause abrasion; if it is too large, it will be wrinkled. - The design of the crimping force uses a nitrogen spring or hydraulic system to provide a stable crimping force to prevent the material from wrinkling. The crimping force must be adjusted with the depth of the stretch. - Lubrication system Provide oil grooves or injection holes in the stretching area, and use high-viscosity stretching oil (e.g., with chlorine and sulfur additives) to reduce friction. - Air venting design Additional air venting holes (0.5~1mm in diameter) are provided in the concave mould to avoid gas accumulation that may lead to deformation of the parts. 4. Precision Manufacturing and Assembly - Machining accuracy - The accuracy of key parts is controlled within ±0.005mm, using slow-feeding wire-cutting (accuracy ±0.003mm) and precision grinding machine.    - Parallelism of mould base ≤0.02mm/300mm, clearance of guide pillar and guide sleeve ≤0.01mm - Assembly points - Split structure is adopted, which is convenient for adjusting single station.    - Use laser alignment gauge to ensure the coaxiality of each station. 5. 5. Commissioning and optimisation - Mould test procedure 1. run empty to test the mould action; 2. low speed (10~20SPM) test punch, observe the material flow; 3. gradually increase the speed to the design value (usually 60~120SPM). - Frequently Asked Questions - Cracking: Increase the rounding angle of the concave mould, reduce the single stretching rate, improve lubrication.    - Wrinkling: Increase the crimping force, reduce the gap, add stretching rib.    - Rebounding: Increase the shaping station or strengthen the pressing material locally. For rotary and cylindrical stretching products, the principle of calculating the opening size is based on the principle that the volume of the material remains unchanged, even if the material will be thinned in the stretching process, but its total volume will not change. For complex shape stretching products, the calculation method will be more cumbersome, because its shape is also attached to the material thickness changes, even in the present 3-dimensional software, simulation and analysis software low to assist in the calculation of the case, it is still difficult to achieve the expected effect of the open material. How to determine the size of complex stretching products? Can only try the knife mouth, probably determine how much material is needed, and then design a stretching structure for continuous attempts, and finally get the right size of the open material. Stretch coefficient stretching products need to be divided into how many steps, each step of the stretching height, size is how much is through the stretch coefficient to calculate. Different stretching structure, stretching process of the stretching coefficient is not the same, so need to be based on the actual product to make a reasonable choice. Factors affecting the coefficient of tension are: material properties, material thickness, the number of times of stretching, stretching method, mould structure, lubrication and so on. If the test mould appears to have the product pulled apart, you can try to apply some lubricant (rapeseed oil, soapy water) to the lower mould or cover the concave mould surface material with a film can also achieve a certain effect. 6. Maintenance and upkeep - Daily Maintenance - Clean the mould surface of oil and dirt every shift, check the status of guide pillar and spring.    - Check the wear of convex/concave mould every 50,000 strokes (wear ≤ 0.02mm).  - Lifetime management - Replace the wearing parts (e.g. ejector rod, guide bush) regularly.    - After accumulating 500,000 strokes, the mould should be completely dismantled and overhauled. 7. Balance between cost and efficiency - Combination of work stations Reduce the number of work stations and shorten the length of the mould by combining processes (e.g. punching + stretching). - Standardised design Adoption of quick-change structure (e.g. standard mould carrier, sub-module set), mould changeover time can be controlled within 15 minutes. Key Data Reference | Parameters | Typical Values ||----------------|----------------------|| Single Stretch | 20%~40% (soft steel) || Concave Die Fillet Radius | 5~10 times the material thickness || Crimping Force | 20%~40% of the total punching force || Die Life | 1,000,000~5,000,000 punches || Die Life | 1,000,000~5,000,000 punches || Die Life | 1,000,000~5,000,000 punches Through the above systematic control, the continuous stretching mould can stably achieve the dimensional accuracy within 0.05mm, and the yield rate can reach over 99%. In practice, the parameters need to be flexibly adjusted to the specific product characteristics, and the key variables optimised through DOE (Design of Experiments).

​In modern aviation manufacturing, stainless steel aircraft toilets are widely used due to their corrosion resistance, high strength, and lightweight properties. However, their production involves complex metalworking and surface treatment technologies, particularly the ​​deep drawn process in ​​metal forming​​, followed by passivation and Teflon coating. These steps are crucial in determining the product's durability and hygiene performance. 1. ​​Metal Forming and Deep Drawing Process​​ The shell of a stainless steel toilet is typically shaped using ​​deep drawing​​ technology. This process involves stretching a metal sheet under high pressure within a mold to form a complex three-dimensional structure, ensuring both structural strength and lightweight design. However, during ​​deep drawing​​, microscopic defects (such as scratches or stress concentrations) may appear on the metal surface, and changes in the internal grain structure can reduce corrosion resistance. Therefore, the formed components must undergo passivation to repair surface imperfections. 2. ​​Passivation: Enhancing Stainless Steel’s Protective Barrier​​ Passivation is a chemical treatment (using nitric or citric acid solutions) that removes free iron ions from the stainless steel surface and forms a dense oxide layer. This step significantly improves the material's corrosion resistance, making it suitable for aircraft toilets exposed to humid environments and acidic cleaning agents. The passivated surface becomes smoother, reducing bacterial adhesion and meeting aviation hygiene standards. 3. ​​Teflon Coating: Adding Superior Surface Properties​​ To further enhance performance, many high-end aircraft toilets are coated with Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE). This coating offers the following advantages: ​​Non-stick properties​​: Minimizes residue buildup, simplifying cleaning. ​​Wear resistance​​: Protects the ​​deep drawn​​ surface from mechanical abrasion. ​​Chemical inertness​​: Resists corrosion from cleaning agents and waste. Teflon coating is typically applied after passivation to ensure strong adhesion to the substrate. Conclusion From ​​deep drawing​​ in ​​metal forming​​ to passivation for surface repair, and finally Teflon coating for multifunctional performance, the manufacturing of stainless steel aircraft toilets combines materials science and engineering expertise. These processes not only extend product lifespan but also ensure passenger comfort and safety, making them a prime example of "small components, big technology" in the aviation industry.

High speed punch press is made of integrated special cast iron alloy with high rigidity and vibration resistance. The slider is designed with long guide way and equipped with slider balancing device to ensure precise and stable operation. All anti-wear components are lubricated with electronic timer automatic lubrication system, if there is a lack of lubricant, the press will stop automatically. The advanced and simple control system ensures the accuracy of the slide running and stopping. It can be matched with any automated production requirements to improve productivity and reduce cost. Scope of Application High-speed presses are widely used for stamping small precision parts for precision electronics, communications, computers, household appliances, automotive parts, motor stator and other small precision parts. Characteristics of the role of CNC punch press is the abbreviation of digital control punch press, is a kind of active machine tool equipped with program control system. The control system can logically handle programs with control codes or other symbolic instruction rules and decode them, then make the press move and process parts. CNC punch press operation and monitoring are completed in this CNC unit, which is the brain of the CNC punch press. Compared with the usual punch press, CNC punch press has many characteristics, first of all, its high processing accuracy, with stable processing quality; secondly, it can be multi-coordinate linkage, can process the shape of the parts can do shear forming; again, the processing of parts change, usually only need to change the CNC program, you can save the production preparation time; punch itself high precision, rigidity, can choose the amount of favorable processing, high yield; and, the punch itself high precision, high rigidity, can choose favorable processing, high productivity; and, the press is a CNC control unit, it is the brain of CNC punch press. High rate; and, the punch press active degree is high, can reduce the labor intensity; finally is the punch press on the operator's nature of the higher demand, the repair personnel skills demand higher. CNC punch press can be used for all kinds of sheet metal hardware parts processing, can be a one-time initiative to complete a variety of messy hole type and shallow deep drawing molding process, (according to the demand for active processing of different scales and hole spacing of different shapes of holes, can also be used for small punching die to step punching method of punching a large round hole, square holes, waist shaped holes and all kinds of shapes of curves in general, but also can be special process, such as shutters, shallow stretching, countersunk holes, flanging hole It can also be used for special processing such as louver, shallow stretching, countersinking hole, flange hole, reinforcement, embossing, etc.). After a simple combination of molds, relative to the traditional stamping, saving a lot of mold costs, can use low-cost and short-cycle processing of small quantities, diversified products, with a larger processing scale and processing capacity, and then in a timely manner to get used to the shopping malls and product changes.   Working Principle The design principle of punch press is to convert the circular motion into linear motion, the main motor will drive the flywheel, and the clutch will drive the gears, crankshaft (or eccentric gears), and connecting rods to achieve the linear motion of the slider, and the motion from the main motor to the connecting rods will be the circular motion. Between the connecting rod and the slider there needs to be an adapter between the circular motion and the linear motion, and there are roughly two kinds of mechanisms in its design, one is ball type and the other is pin type (cylindrical type), through which the circular motion is converted into the linear motion of the slider. Punching machine applies pressure to the material to make it plastic deformation, and get the required shape and precision, so it must be matched with a set of molds (divided into the upper and lower molds), the material will be placed in the middle of it, the pressure exerted by the machine, so that the deformation of the processing of the force exerted on the material caused by the reaction of the force, by the punch press machine body to be absorbed.   Classification 1. According to the slider driving force can be divided into mechanical and hydraulic two kinds, so the punch press according to its use of different driving force is divided into. (1) Mechanical presses (2) Hydraulic punching machine Most of the general sheet metal stamping processes use mechanical presses. Hydraulic punching machine according to its use of different liquids, hydraulic punching machine and hydraulic punching machine, the use of hydraulic punching machine accounted for the majority of hydraulic punching machine, hydraulic punching machine is more for large-scale machinery or special machinery. 2.Classification according to the slider movement mode. According to the classification of slider movement, there are single-acting, double-acting and triple-acting punch presses, only the most used one is the single-acting punch press of a slider, and the double-acting and triple-acting punch presses are mainly used in the induction processing of automobile bodies and large-scale machining parts, and the number of them is very small. 3.Classification according to the slider drive mechanism. (1) Crankshaft type presses Punching machines that use a crankshaft mechanism are called crankshaft punching machines, and most mechanical punching machines use this mechanism. The most popular reasons for using crankshaft mechanism are that it is easy to manufacture, the position of the lower end of the stroke can be determined correctly, and the slide motion curve is generally applicable to various processes. Therefore, this type of press is suitable for punching, bending, drawing, hot forging, warm forging, cold forging and almost all other press processes. (2) Crankshaft-less punch presses No crankshaft type punch press, also known as eccentric gear type punch press, crankshaft type punch press and eccentric gear type punch press two structure of the function of the comparison, eccentric gear type punch press structure of the shaft rigidity, lubrication, appearance, maintenance, etc. is better than the structure of the crankshaft, the disadvantage of the price is higher. When the stroke is longer, the eccentric gear type punch press is more favorable, and when the stroke of the punching and cutting special machine is shorter, the crankshaft punch press is better, so the small machine and the high-speed punching and cutting punch press are also the field of the crankshaft punch press. (3) Elbow joint type presses The elbow joint mechanism used in the slide drive is called the elbow joint type press. This type of press has a unique slide motion curve in which the speed of the slide becomes very slow near the lower dead center (compared to a crankshaft press). And also correctly determines the stroke under the dead center position, therefore, this press is suitable for embossing and finishing and other compression processing, and now the cold forging is used the most. (4) Friction type presses A press that uses a friction drive and a screw mechanism on the rail drive is called a friction press. This type of press is the most suitable for forging and crushing operations, and can also be used for bending, forming, and stretching, etc. It has a versatile function and was widely used before the war because of its low price. Due to the inability to determine the position of the lower end of the stroke, processing accuracy is not good, slow production speed, control operation error will produce overload, the use of skilled technology and other shortcomings, is now gradually being eliminated. (5) Screw-type presses The screw mechanism used in the slide drive mechanism is called a screw press (or screw press). (6) Rack and Pinion Punching Machine The rack and pinion mechanism used in the slide drive mechanism is called a rack and pinion punch press. Screw presses have almost the same characteristics as rack and pinion presses, and their characteristics are similar to those of hydraulic presses. It used to be used for pressing in bushings, extrusion of chips and other items, oil extraction, bundling, and pressing out of cartridges (thinning process between heat), etc., but now it has been replaced by the hydraulic press, and is no longer used unless under very special circumstances. (7)Linkage type presses The press that uses various linkage mechanisms on the slide drive mechanism is called a linkage-type press. The purpose of using the connecting rod mechanism is to shorten the cycle of processing while keeping the stretching speed within limits during the lead-in process, and to improve productivity by reducing the speed change of the lead-in process, accelerating the speed of the approach stroke from the upper dead center to the start of the process, and the speed of the reversion stroke from the lower dead center to the upper dead center to have a shorter cycle than the crankshaft punch press. This type of press has been used since ancient times for the deep drawing of cylindrical containers with a narrower bed surface, and has recently been used for the processing of automobile body panels with a wider bed surface. (8)Cam type presses A press that uses a cam mechanism on the slide drive mechanism is called a cam press. This type of press is characterized by making appropriate cam shapes so that the desired slide motion curve can be easily obtained. However, because of the nature of the cam mechanism, it is difficult to convey a large force, so the capacity of this type of press is very small. How to choose The selection of high-speed punch press should consider the following issues. Punching machine speed Now there are two speeds called high speed in Taiwan and domestic punching machines in the market, one is the highest speed 400 times/minute and the other is 1000 times/minute. If your product molds require a speed of 300 cycles/minute or higher, you should choose a press with a speed of 1000 cycles/minute. Because the equipment can not be used in the limit, and 400 times / minute or less of the punch press is generally not mandatory lubrication system, in the joints part of the butter lubrication, and the punch structure is used in the slider type, the accuracy is difficult to ensure that the wear and tear over a long period of time in the work of a very fast, the accuracy of decline in the mold is easy to be damaged, the machine and the mold maintenance rate is high, and delays in the time, affecting the delivery date. Punching machine precision Punching machine precision is mainly rest now. 1, parallelism 2, perpendicularity 3、Total clearance Punching machine with high precision can not only produce good products, but also less damage to the mold, not only save the mold maintenance time but also save the maintenance cost. Lubrication system high-speed punch press per minute stroke (speed) is very high, so its lubrication system requirements are high, only the use of forced lubrication system, and with lubrication abnormal detection function of high-speed punch press in order to effectively reduce the punch press due to the lubrication and the chances of failure.

Precision stamping is a high-precision and high-efficiency metal forming process, widely used in electronics, automotive, medical devices and other fields. Its core lies in the machining of parts with micron-level precision through precision dies and optimized process parameters. The following are the principles of precision stamping and key processing technologies: 1. Basic Principles of Precision Stamping (1) Stamping and Forming Mechanism In the stamping process, the convex die and concave die cooperate to separate or plastically deform the material through shear force.  Precision blanking (Fine Blanking): by increasing the crimping force, counter-topping force and small gap die (usually 0.5%-1% of the material thickness), inhibit material tearing, to obtain a smooth shear surface (finish up to Ra 0.4μm).  Precision molding: including bending, stretching, flanging, etc., need to control the material flow, springback and surface quality. (2) Material deformation characteristics of three-way compressive stress state: precision stamping through the special design of the mold (such as V-shaped crimp ring), so that the material in the shear region in a three-way compressive stress state, reducing cracks.  Elastic recovery control: After forming, the rebound needs to be offset by die compensation or process optimization (e.g. overbending) to ensure dimensional accuracy. (3) Energy transfer and equipment requirements Adoption of high rigidity presses (such as servo presses) to ensure stable energy transfer during the stamping process and avoid precision deviation caused by vibration.   2. Processing technology of precision stamping (1) Mold design and manufacture of high-precision molds: the material used is powder high-speed steel (such as ASP series) or hard alloy, with hardness HRC 60-64, and the service life can be more than one million times.  Die structure: the use of multi-position progressive die or composite die, integrated blanking, forming, testing functions, to reduce multiple positioning errors.  Surface treatment: Enhance the wear resistance and reduce the friction coefficient by TD treatment (titanium carbide coating) and PVD/CVD coating (e.g. TiAlN). (2) Process parameter optimization Gap control: Punching gap is 0.5%-1% of material thickness, precision progressive die gap should be controlled within ±2μm.  Crimping force and countertop force: crimping force is usually 20%-40% of the punching force, and countertop force is 10%-20% to prevent the material from shifting or wrinkling.  Speed and Stroke: Servo presses can be programmed to control the motion curve of the slide, low-speed punching (<50mm/s) to reduce dynamic impact, and high-speed feeding (>100 times/minute) to improve efficiency. (3) Lubrication and Cooling Technology Use extreme pressure lubricants (with sulfur and phosphorus additives) or dry film lubrication (e.g. PTFE coating) to reduce die wear and material sticking.  Micro Quantity Lubrication (MQL) technology: precise injection of nano-sized lubricants to reduce environmental pollution. (4) Inspection and quality control On-line inspection: Laser range finder or CCD vision system to monitor part size in real time, tolerance control ±5μm. Surface defects detection: Eddy current flaw detection or white light interferometer to detect micro-cracks and burrs. (5) Material selection and pretreatment Commonly used materials: stainless steel (SUS304), copper alloy (C5191), aluminum alloy (5052), etc., with a thickness range of 0.05-5mm. Annealing treatment: to improve the plasticity of the material and reduce the stamping hardening effect.   3. Key Challenges and Solutions (1) Springback control Predict the amount of springback through finite element simulation (e.g. AutoForm) and optimize the die compensation angle (e.g. bending angle pre-increase of 0.5°-2°).  Dynamic adjustment of stress distribution by hydroforming or electromagnetic molding technology. (2) Microstructure Processing Micro Stamping (Micro Stamping): Used to process micro parts below 0.1mm, requiring ultra-precise molds (wire-cut precision 0.001mm) and vacuum adsorption feeding system. (3) Environmental protection and cost to promote oil-free stamping technology, reducing the cleaning process; mold modular design to reduce maintenance costs.   4. Application Fields Consumer electronics: cell phone metal center frame, connector terminal (precision ± 0.01mm).  Automotive industry: transmission gear piece, airbag parts (tensile strength>1000MPa).  Medical devices: surgical blades, minimally invasive instruments (burr-free, sterile surface).   5. Development Trends Intelligent: AI process parameter optimization, digital twin technology real-time monitoring.  Composite process: stamping combined with welding and 3D printing to realize integrated forming of complex structures.  Green manufacturing: biodegradable lubricants, closed-loop recycling of waste materials. The continuous upgrading of precision stamping technology is promoting the manufacturing industry to develop in the direction of high precision, high efficiency and sustainability.

Other considerations  - Material Selection: Select the appropriate metal materials according to the different application requirements to ensure that they have the required mechanical properties and processing performance.  - Process optimisation: During the metal stretching process, attention should be paid to mould design, material fluidity and reasonable control of the stretching ratio in order to avoid rupture or excessive deformation. By strictly observing these precautions, you can ensure the smooth running of metal stretching tests and process operations, and obtain accurate and reliable test results.

With the rapid development of modern science and technology, all walks of life have shown rapid growth momentum, and in the industrial field, laser cutting technology has become one of the most significant technological growth, especially in the fiber laser cutting technology instead of the traditional carbon dioxide laser cutting technology, the entire laser industry has been a more broad development. On the basis of the traditional plane laser cutting machine, gradually appeared the coil laser cutting machine, three-dimensional laser cutting machine, as well as laser pipe cutting machine and other types of laser cutting products. Especially in recent years, with the pipe parts in the construction machinery, kitchenware, fitness, transportation and other industries in the use of the proportion continues to increase, a large number of users as well as the market demand for laser pipe cutting machine continues to increase, the performance of the laser pipe cutting machine also continue to put forward higher requirements, which, the cutting efficiency of the laser pipe cutting machine is the focus of attention. Selection of Process Parameters and Cutting Software for Laser Tube Cutting Machines Selection of process parameters Laser tube cutting machine in the cutting of tubes need to prevent the cutting speed is too fast or too slow, especially in the cutting of special tubes or high thickness tubes, such as profiles, shaped tubes, etc., more need to prevent the cutting speed is too fast or too slow. When the cutting speed is too fast, it is extremely easy to cut through the phenomenon; and when the cutting speed is too slow, especially in the cutting of thin-walled tubes or small tube parts, it is easy to cause slag, affecting the cutting quality of the entire pipe. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the laser pipe cutting machine cutting pipe, it must be perforated and cut the pipe test, test out the best laser output power, corners and non-corner cutting gas pressure size, the entire cutting process cutting speed and laser cutting head nozzle size, so as to ensure the quality of the pipe cutting and at the same time to improve the overall processing efficiency. Cutting software selection Cutting software selection on the laser pipe cutting machine processing efficiency also has a great impact. In a single whole tube feeding the same parts, excellent cutting software can be sequential layout and modification, which is relative to a single control cutting software not only improves the fault tolerance rate, but also to ensure that the same parts of the rapid feeding, improve the overall cutting efficiency. Semi-automatic loading mechanism and the use of fully automatic loading mechanism Laser tube cutting machine use process, most users are using manual loading and unloading method, in the cutting of heavy pipe, sometimes must use the traveling car for pipe handling work, which will inevitably cause the overall cutting efficiency of laser tube cutting machine, and the use of semi-automatic or automatic loading and unloading mechanism, can greatly reduce the use of labor, improve cutting efficiency. Semi-automatic loading and unloading mechanism is suitable for most of the tube parts processing, manual will need a small amount of pipe on the semi-automatic loading machine, by its automatic pipe to the laser tube cutting machine for clamping, cutting, manual only need to wait for the finished product at the material to cut the material can be used; and full-automatic loading and unloading mechanism of the use of a wider range of manual will be a bundle of tubes placed on the full-automatic loading machine, the full-automatic loading machine can be automatically Identify a single tube and transport it to the laser tube cutting machine body for clamping, cutting, cutting is completed by the automatic discharging machine can be automatically discharged, no longer need to manually discharging. Semi-automatic loading mechanism and the use of automatic loading mechanism can greatly improve the cutting efficiency of the laser tube cutting machine, while reducing labor costs. The use of three chuck tube cutting machine and four chuck tube cutting machine The current laser pipe cutting machine market, two chuck laser pipe cutting machine still occupies a great proportion, but with the technology and market demand continues to improve, the laser pipe cutting machine market has also begun by the traditional two chuck laser pipe cutting machine to three chuck, four chuck laser pipe cutting machine step forward. Especially in the overall loading, cutting and discharging process of longer pipe fittings, three chuck laser pipe cutting machine and four chuck laser pipe cutting machine processing efficiency compared to the traditional two chuck laser pipe cutting machine increased by several times, while three chuck and four chuck laser pipe cutting machine is through three or more chucks for motion cutting, but also to meet the users and the market for the pursuit of zero-tailed material pipe discharging.   With the laser tube cutting machine in the field of laser cutting equipment more and more high proportion, the user and the market for laser tube cutting machine expectations and demand is also higher and higher, which requires the laser tube cutting must go through from manual loading and unloading to semi-automatic loading and unloading and then to fully automatic loading and unloading of this gradual development process. In this process, people continue to find the development potential of the laser tube cutting machine, and at the same time continue to find problems, and constantly put forward improvement measures or solutions to promote the laser tube cutting machine to high-speed, high-precision, high-automation and multi-directional development of the direction of the function, in order to improve the efficiency of its cutting, so as to further promote the rapid development of the laser cutting market, the laser cutting industry as a whole also has a remarkable significance! The laser cutting industry is also of extraordinary significance.

Aluminum alloy is a kind of non-ferrous metal material most widely used in industry, which has the advantages of low density, high specific strength, good plasticity, etc. In addition, it also has strong electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, and it is an indispensable and important raw material for the industries of aviation, aerospace, automobile, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding and chemical industry. For the aluminum alloy material in the mold manufacturing and stamping processing and workshop management problems that are likely to occur, put forward some suggestions for your reference. Problems to be noted in mold manufacturing and stamping Aluminum alloy stamping because the material relative to iron, the hardness is small, easy to break and expensive, therefore, to aluminum alloy material to make molds, should pay attention to the following issues: The first one is that the punching process should be lined up at the back as much as possible without affecting the number of processes, and even for the molds with a large number of punching holes, the punching process should be lined up at the end even if it is preferable to increase one process. The second is due to the soft hardness of the aluminum material, and the mold is easy to block the material, so in the design of the mold gap, should leave the size of the bilateral material thickness of 10% of the gap, the straight depth of the cutter to 2 mm is more appropriate, the taper is in the 0.8 to 1 degree between. The third is in the bending molding, aluminum raw materials need to paste PE film, this is because the aluminum material in the bending is easy to produce aluminum chips, these aluminum chips will cause damage to the workpiece, the emergence of point and indentation and other processing defects. The presence of PE film can reduce the damage to the workpiece. In the case of rollers and plating, the molding block is better to be polished and plated with hard chrome. Fourthly, for the subsequent stamping parts to be anodized, the flattening and flattening process can not be completely pressed together, otherwise the phenomenon of acid spitting will occur in the anodizing process, and it is necessary to leave a 0.2 to 0.3 mm gap so that the acid can be smoothly and timely outflow. Therefore, this process must be done on the limit block, and the mold on the mold height. Fifthly, because the aluminum alloy material is brittle and easy to crack, especially in the case of reverse folded edges, so try not to do the crimping, even if you have to do it, you should make the crimping wider and the depth of the crimping shall be shallower. The sixth is that all aluminum alloy workpiece knife edge are required to use slow-feed wire cutting processing, which can prevent the emergence of burrs and falling material is not smooth phenomenon. Aluminum parts are prone to high temperature, so the punch should be used at least in the hardness of SKD11 material above the material, can not use ordinary poor quality convex die. Aluminum alloy processing workshop management should pay attention to the problem First of all, in order to do a good job of stamping aluminum parts and reduce the defective rate, the first thing to do is to do a good job of workshop 6S management, especially clean molds, punch press table, assembly line and packaging materials, must be free of sharp debris and dirt. To regularly clean and tidy up the mold, mold up and down must be cleaned up, no debris. Secondly, when the product is found to have more burrs, the mold must be repaired in time to improve the quality of the mold in order to reduce the chances of burrs. Then, because the aluminum alloy workpiece is easy to heat, and accumulate together to make the workpiece hard, so when punching down the material surface needs to be coated with a little pressure wrench oil and then stamping, which can play a role in heat dissipation, but also can be smooth to unclog the drop material. Next, for punching more products, need to do not punch a hole, must be on the mold surface for a cleanup to achieve the mold and the product to keep clean and free of debris, which can reduce the top of the workpiece injury. If you find the top injury, you must find out the problem of mold top injury, solve the problem before continuing production. Lastly, the push flat die pusher block will produce aluminum chips, so the pusher block must be cleaned of aluminum chips under the pusher block after every day's production. Punch in the punch is very easy to bring aluminum chips into the plate, and produce high temperature will punch wear or even soften, so the production of 3-7 days must be regularly cleaned punch or punching knife edge light grinding, really need to be replaced in a timely manner. For 180 ° bending and flattening products, must not have 10-30 pieces of the folded edge will be torn PE film to see whether there is no rupture, because the aluminum material in the discharge will have uneven composition phenomenon, especially for the replacement of the manufacturer stamping materials need to do a rigorous first piece of inspection.  

Multi-point forming technology is a technology to realize rapid forming of different shapes of plate parts through computer control by replacing the traditional overall mold with a regular arrangement of basic body points. The following is a detailed introduction of Multi-point molding technology: First, the principle of technology and classification Multi-point molding technology uses a computer to control the position of the basic body to form a “flexible mold” with variable shape. It is mainly divided into four ways: multi-point mold forming, multi-point press forming, half-multi-point mold forming and half-multi-point press forming. Among them, multi-point mold forming and multi-point press forming are the most basic forming methods. Second, the technical characteristics of moldless forming: replace the traditional overall mold, save the mold design, manufacturing, debugging manpower, material and financial resources required to significantly shorten the product production cycle and reduce production costs. Optimization of deformation path: real-time control of the deformation surface through the basic body adjustment, changing the deformation path and force state of the plate at will, improving the material forming limit, and realizing the plastic deformation of difficult-to-machine materials. High precision and quality: The formed products are of high precision and good quality, and the production efficiency can be significantly improved. Reboundless forming: Repeated forming technology can be used to eliminate the residual stress inside the material, realize small or reboundless forming, and ensure the forming accuracy of the workpiece. Easy to realize automation: the whole process is all computer-aided, including surface modeling, process calculation, press control, workpiece testing, etc., with high efficiency and low labor intensity. Third, the advantages and disadvantages of multi-point molding technology Advantages of multi-point molding technology. Improve production efficiency: multi-point molding process can be carried out at the same time for multiple points of forming, greatly improving production efficiency. For example, in the automobile manufacturing process, the traditional body welding process requires multiple positioning to complete the welding, while the multi-point forming process can be carried out at the same time to connect a number of welded joints, thereby significantly improving the welding speed. Improved product quality: By applying multiple forces at different points simultaneously, the multipoint forming process distributes stresses more evenly and reduces distortion and defects in the workpiece. This is particularly important in the aerospace industry to ensure the stability and safety of thin-walled structural components in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Enabling the machining of complex shapes: Because forces can be applied simultaneously at multiple points, the multipoint forming process enables the machining of materials with complex shapes, such as curved and twisted shapes. This is important in the manufacture of high-precision molds and tooling. Saving mold cost: Multi-point forming technology realizes moldless forming, which does not need to configure molds, thus saving the cost of mold design, manufacturing and debugging. This is especially advantageous for the production of single-piece, small-lot parts, which can fully realize the specification of automatic forming and improve the quality of forming. Disadvantages of multi-point forming technology. Equipment and process complexity: multi-point forming process requires a sophisticated control system to simultaneously control the processing of multiple points, which puts forward higher requirements for the manufacture and maintenance of equipment. Limited scope of application: For some larger sized workpieces, the multi-point forming process may not be applicable because it requires a lot of force to process multiple points simultaneously. Difficulty in controlling machining accuracy: moldless multi-point forming is affected by the nature of the material and the thickness of the plate, etc., and the machining accuracy is difficult to control, and it is prone to problems such as dimensional deviation or irregular shape. Fourth,development and Innovation Multi-point forming technology was created by Dr. Li Mingzhe, a professor at Jilin University, and is regarded as a major innovation in the production method of three-dimensional curved surface forming of plate-like parts. The technology has not only been widely used in China, but has also been exported to South Korea and other countries for the manufacture of ship hull outer plate parts and so on. In addition, the technology has been supported by a number of national and provincial scientific research projects and international cooperation projects, showing its strong vitality and broad application prospects. Fifth, specific application scenarios of multi-point molding technology Plate forming: multi-point forming technology through real-time control of the movement of the basic body, the formation of instantaneous forming surface changes at any time, to achieve the optimal deformation path of the plate forming, eliminating molding defects, and improve the forming ability of the plate. Moldless forming: Moldless multi-point forming technology combines computer technology to realize moldless, rapid and low-cost production by controlling the deformation surface in real time through the regular arrangement of basic bodies. This technology is suitable for the production of large three-dimensional curved plate products of different shapes and sizes. Flexible Stretch Forming: Based on the traditional stretch forming, the new flexible forming technology is designed and developed by utilizing the hydraulic system and material work-hardening characteristics, which can improve the yield rate of workpieces and material utilization rate. Continuous roll pressure multi-point forming: based on the principle of flexible roll and multi-point shaping, the bending degree of the flexible roll is obtained by adjusting the relative height of the shaping unit to realize the continuous feeding and plastic deformation of the sheet. In summary, multi-point forming technology with its unique advantages in the manufacturing industry is playing an increasingly important role in improving production efficiency, reducing production costs and promoting the innovative development of the manufacturing industry has made an important contribution.

Stamping part strain is a common quality defect in the production process, which is prevalent in major automobile production plants. On the one hand, it reduces the stability and productivity of the production process and increases the scrap rate of parts, and on the other hand, it causes more serious wear and tear on the molds, reduces the life of the molds and the accuracy of the stamped parts, and increases the number of mold repairs and production downtime. The essence of hair pulling is due to the surface of the workpiece and die local adhesion (bite), improve hair pulling problem has a variety of methods, the basic principle is to change the nature of the friction between the die and the processed parts, so that the friction vice by the material that is not easy to adhesion instead. Mould into the production site commissioning stage, to improve the hair pulling problem generally have the following methods: 1, change the mold material, increase the hardness of the mold; 2, the mold surface treatment, such as hard chrome plating, PVD and TD, etc.; 3, the mold cavity coated with nano-coating, such as the RNT technology, etc.; 4, between the mold and the processed parts plus a layer of other substances, so that the processed parts and mold separation (such as lubrication or coated with special lubricants or add a layer of PVC). Special lubricants or add a layer of PVC and other materials); 5, the use of self-lubricating coated steel. Stamping part strain is a common quality defect in the production process, which is prevalent in major automobile production plants. On the one hand, it reduces the stability and productivity of the production process and increases the scrap rate of parts, and on the other hand, it causes more serious wear and tear on the molds, reduces the life of the molds and the accuracy of the stamped parts, and increases the number of mold repairs and production downtime.

Mold materials, mold steel SKD11, CR12MOV, etc. is recognized as wear-resistant anti-seize materials, heat treatment hardness can reach the chromium hardness HRC58-63 degrees or so, in the mold is not large and the shape of the part is relatively simple can be used in this type of material, but the material is difficult to heat-treat the processing of the material, brittle, easy to crack, the cost is high, the size of the limitations, and This kind of material is deformed after heat treatment, and the research and matching work after heat treatment is huge. Automotive plate shape is more complex and more and more use of high-strength steel plate, such parts of the overall performance requirements of the mold is higher, which are usually used in the mosaic structure, mosaic surface treatment process currently have TD, hard chrome plating, nitriding, PVD and so on. TD treatment is the thermal diffusion method of carbide cladding treatment (Thermal Diffision Carbide Coating Process) for short, the technology was first developed by the Toyota Central Research Institute in Japan in the seventies and applied for a patent, also known as the Toyota Diffusion Process, referred to as the TD Process, that is, TD processing. TD Process. It is also called Molten Salt Diffusion Process, or TD Process for short. Regardless of its name, the principle is to place the workpiece in the molten borax mixture, through high temperature diffusion on the surface of the workpiece to form a metal carbide cladding. TD cladding treatment of the main features are: high hardness of the cladding, HV up to 3000 or so, with a high degree of wear resistance, tensile strength, corrosion resistance and other properties, TD cladding service life of about 100,000 units; but TD cladding treatment of the mold material is very high, and belongs to the high-temperature treatment of the thermal stresses produced during the thermal stress, phase stress, changes in the specific volume of the mold will make the mold is easy to produce deformation or even cracking in the heat treatment process. General repair of the mold in the weld will also appear cracking phenomenon, TD cladding treatment of mold processing quality and shape has high requirements; In addition, TD cladding treatment after reprocessing difficulties, unable to meet the needs of design changes and adjust the mold mold repair needs, has done other surface treatment of the mold, the need to be completely removed from the original surface treatment, otherwise it will affect the quality of the surface of the TD cladding. In addition, TD cladding treatment technology will generally be treated 3-4 times after the service life of the phenomenon will be reduced. Stamping part strain is a common quality defect in the production process, which is prevalent in major automobile production plants. On the one hand, it reduces the stability and productivity of the production process and increases the scrap rate of parts, and on the other hand, it causes more serious wear and tear on the molds, reduces the life of the molds and the accuracy of the stamped parts, and increases the number of mold repairs and production downtime. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) that is, physical vapor deposition method, PVD coating is the use of physical vapor deposition method of surface coating. It has good performance of anti-tensile, the hardness of the coating can be as high as HV2000-3000, or even higher, so it has excellent wear-resistant performance, and its processing temperature is relatively low, the deformation of the processing workpiece is small, and it can be processed for many times without affecting the life of the advantages of the plating and the substrate, but the combination of its plating and the substrate is relatively poor, and it is easy to make the plating fall off and not play its anti-tensile, and it can not play its anti-tensile, and it can not play its anti-tensile. However, the bonding between the coating and the substrate is poor, and it is easy for the coating to fall off when used on deep-drawing dies and dies with high molding pressure, thus failing to exert its effect of tensile and wear resistance.         Figure 3 PVD coating The size of the outer plate mold is generally larger, such as the use of mosaic block structure, the splices will be strained, so most of the whole structure, the material is generally used ductile cast iron and other cast iron materials. The hardness of the molding part can reach HRC50-55 degree after quenching by flame. Integral structure of the outer plate mold surface treatment is mostly used hard chrome plating process, but its surface hardening effect is limited, the surface hardness of about 1000HV or so, in addition, hard chrome plating of the plating and mold base material is a mechanical combination, in the molding of larger pressure is easy to fall off, the plating layer is off once the tensile strength will be lost. When the hardened surface layer is worn out, pulling hairs will appear again, and the life of the hardened surface layer is generally about 5-10 million units.   Figure 4 Chrome plating RNT is an emerging technology in recent years. Its working principle is the RNT coating liquid on the mold cavity coating, through the pressure to make the coating nanomolecules diffuse and act on the surface of the mold to form a nano-metal carbide cladding, the process of expansion from the inside out, the thickness and hardness of the mold with the increase in the working time and increase the thickness of the coating in the 0.1-1 μm, the hardness of the coating in the HV1100 The thickness of the coating is 0.1-1μm, the hardness of the coating is HV1100-1600, even when the mold is subjected to a large load, it will not cause the coating layer on the surface to fall off and fail due to the plastic deformation of the substrate, the thickness and hardness of the layer increase from the inside to the outside with the increase of the working time of the mold and the number of times it is coated. The thickness and hardness of the coating layer increases with the working time of the mold and the number of times it is coated. However, the application of this technology to parts with serious hair pulling, parts with production process heat and ultra-high-strength plates is still immature and the cost of using it is high.  Figure 5 before the use of RNT pulling hair Figure 6 after the use of RNT pulling hair situation The use of reasonable lubricants in the production process can effectively improve the friction conditions, reduce the hair pulling, its main role is to use the lubricant film to make contact with the vice-isolated, oiling is generally used by manual oiling or automated equipment at the head of the line oiling. In addition, the use of lubricants can also effectively reduce the dark wound, cracking problems. But the use of lubricants will make the environment dirty slippery, in order to improve the impact of oil on the operating environment, in recent years, Baosteel, Wuhan Iron and Steel, Maanshan Steel and other iron and steel enterprises have developed a self-lubricating steel plate, the use of self-lubricating coating steel plate has excellent self-lubricating, corrosion resistance, fingerprint resistance, processing and molding and coating properties, which is mainly rolled on the steel plate coated with a layer of organic coatings, in the stamping and molding process does not need to be coated again with lubricating oil. But the cost is a little high, has not been widely used. Due to the molding load and the molding material varies greatly, the use of what or several measures to solve the problem of workpiece strain, in addition to consider the effectiveness of the effect, but also must consider the batch size of the product, the realization of the degree of difficulty and its economy and other aspects of the problem, and then finally choose the most appropriate method.  

Whether in the automotive manufacturing, household appliances, construction machinery, or medical, electronics, aerospace and other industries, sheet metal products can be found everywhere. In this article, we will organize seven key elements about sheet metal. 1. Definition What is sheet metal? It does not have a clear definition. Usually, it is understood as a flat piece of metal whose width is significantly greater than its thickness. Thicknesses less than 3 millimeters are referred to as sheet metal; thicknesses of 3 millimeters or more are referred to as thick sheet metal. Another important distinction lies in the manufacturing process, which can be categorized as cold-rolled or hot-rolled sheet: Hot rolling is usually applied to thicker plates. Compared with cold rolling, hot rolled plate has a rougher surface with a rolled skin. If this rolled skin is retained, the sheet does not need to be oiled to prevent corrosion. Cold rolled is usually used for thinner plates. Its tolerances are smaller and its surface finer. Steel plates, in particular, are pickled and oiled to prevent corrosion before they are shipped from the steel mill to the sheet metal fabrication shop. In addition, there is a wide variety of material types, sizes and thicknesses. From the composition of materials to manufacturing and processing to assembly and storage, every aspect affects the performance and quality of sheet metal. 2. Shape When sheet metal is delivered for processing, it is usually available in two formats: coil and plate. Coils are coiled strips of metal that are usually up to 15 millimeters thick. Coils can weigh 20-30 tons or more coming out of the mill. Coils allow large quantities of material to be transported relatively easily and safely in a tightly wound form. For further processing, however, it must first be unwound, which requires an unwinder. Since the coil is curved, it must also be leveled to eliminate the curvature. The coil is unrolled so that it can be cut to the exact length required. A sheet is a thin rectangular piece of material cut from a coil and of a certain length. To simplify the transaction, these sheets are usually available in standardized sizes, commonly: small sizes of 1000mm x 2000mm, medium sizes of 1250mm x 2500mm, large sizes of 1500mm x 3000mm, and even oversized sheets of 2000mm x 4000mm as well as 2000mm x 6000mm. 3. Material Sheets can be made from almost any metal, depending on its formability. From precious metals such as gold and silver to a variety of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and other common metal materials, plates can be made. In order to more precisely tailor the properties of the sheet, it is common to add various metal elements to the base material, a composite material known as an alloy. This gives the sheet a higher tensile strength and is less susceptible to corrosion. 4. Production Before the industrial revolution, sheet metal could only be hammered out of castings by hand. This was very time-consuming and therefore sheet metal was expensive at that time. Today, instead, it is rolled from cast steel blocks (called slabs). These slabs are rolled into sheets of the required thickness in steel mills or rolling mills using reversible or continuous rolling. The rolling temperature is higher than the recrystallization temperature of the metal, and the process can roll plates as thin as 0.8 mm. Cold rolling is not used for all plates because it requires greater force than hot rolling. The cold rolling process is only used to produce thin plates. Steel sheet can be rolled to 0.1 mm thick, while aluminum sheet can be rolled as thin as 0.0065 mm. In addition, cold rolling has smaller tolerances than hot rolling. 5. Tolerances and defects When processing thin sheet metal, any machining process will result in mechanical stress or heat generation, which in turn will cause easy deformation of the sheet metal and consequently internal stresses and unevenness. the DIN EN 10029 standard specifies flatness tolerances. For example, a workpiece with a thickness of 20 mm must have a minimum thickness of 19.4 mm and a maximum thickness of 21.3 mm. Other flatness defects include various kinds of waves and warping. However, for all downstream manufacturing processes of machining, it is important that the sheet metal is virtually stress-free and as flat as possible. Due to the large variety of sheet metal and the various manufacturing and fabrication processes often make sheet metal behavior during processing unpredictable. Therefore, it is necessary to level and deburr sheet metal.

Burrs are a common problem in metal processing, such as drilling, turning, milling, sheet metal cutting, etc. Aluminum alloy burr phenomenon is unavoidable, at present there are many kinds of methods in the process of dealing with burrs. In the die casting production process, due to the pressure impact and clamping force is insufficient and other factors, die casting produce burr is inevitable. In recent years with the quality requirements of die casting parts increasingly improve, the requirements of the burr is also more stringent, at the same time, deburring methods are also endless. Deburring process is the most people's headache, the following is all kinds of die casting deburring method of advantages and disadvantages of the review, can let you understand more about all kinds of deburring method, and according to their own needs to choose the suitable deburring method.   1, manual deburring This is the most traditional die-casting plant commonly used way, using files (files have artificial files and pneumatic files), sandpaper, belt sander, grinding head as an auxiliary tool. Disadvantages: labor costs are more expensive, the efficiency is not very high, and it is difficult to remove the complex cross-holes. Applicable object: the technical requirements of workers are not very high, applicable to small burrs, simple product structure of aluminum alloy die casting.   2, die deburring using the production of die with the punch for deburring. Disadvantages: need a certain amount of die (rough die + fine punch die) production costs, may also need to make plastic mold. Applicable objects: suitable for parting surface is relatively simple aluminum alloy die casting, efficiency and deburring effect is better than manual.   3、Grinding deburring This kind of deburring contains vibration, sand blasting, roller and other ways, at present the die casting factory adopts more. Disadvantages: there is not very clean removal of the problem, may need to follow up manual processing residual burrs or with other ways to deburr. Applicable object: suitable for large batch of small aluminum alloy die casting.   4, freezing deburring The use of cooling to make the burr quickly embrittled, and then spray projectiles to remove the burr. Equipment price is about two or three hundred thousand; Applicable objects: suitable for burr wall thickness is small and the volume is also small aluminum alloy die casting.   5, heat explosion deburring Also called thermal deburring, explosion deburring. Through some flammable gas, through to a device furnace, and then through some media and conditions of the role of the gas instantaneous explosion, the use of energy generated by the explosion to dissolve the removal of burrs. Disadvantages: expensive equipment (millions of prices), high operational requirements, low efficiency, side effects (rust, deformation); Applicable objects: mainly used in some high-precision parts and components in the field, such as automotive aerospace and other precision parts.   6, engraving machine deburring Equipment is not very expensive (tens of thousands).

Stainless steels 210, 304 and 316 are different types of stainless steel materials, and their main difference lies in the chemical composition, especially the content of chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni), and the resulting difference in corrosion resistance and strength. 1. Stainless steel 210 (1Cr12):    - Stainless steel 210 is a martensitic stainless steel with a high carbon and chromium content, usually between 0.9% and 1.25%.    - It has relatively low corrosion resistance but high hardness, which makes it suitable for the manufacture of some tools and parts that require high strength and some corrosion resistance.    - Due to the high carbon content, its welding performance is poor, and it is easy to crack in the heat treatment process. 2. 304 stainless steel:    - 304 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel containing about 18% chromium and 8% nickel.    - It has good corrosion resistance, especially in the resistance to intergranular corrosion, so it is widely used in the food industry, medical equipment, building decoration and other fields.    - 304 stainless steel has better strength and heat resistance, and has good hot and cold processing performance and welding performance. 3. 316 stainless steel:    - 316 stainless steel is also an austenitic stainless steel, similar to 304, but contains higher nickel content (about 10%) and molybdenum (Mo) elements (about 2%).    - The addition of molybdenum significantly improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, especially for seawater, salt water environment, and high temperature environment.    - Therefore, 316 stainless steel is commonly used in marine environments, chemical industry, pharmaceutical equipment and other areas that require higher corrosion resistance. In general, the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel is better than 304 stainless steel, while the corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel is better than 210 stainless steel. When choosing materials, users need to decide which material to use according to the specific application environment and requirements. At the same time, because 316 stainless steel contains more alloying elements, its cost is relatively high.

The traditional aerospace sheet metal manufacturing process is mostly manually operated, with a slow construction cycle, low production accuracy and uneven quality. With higher and higher requirements on aircraft performance, the shapes of sheet metal parts are becoming more and more complex, and many of them are non-linear complex surfaces, which require higher and higher surface quality and dimensional accuracy of sheet metal parts. Thanks to the application of advanced automation technology and intelligent manufacturing systems, aviation manufacturing has begun to realize the enhancement of technological processes. Hydraulic forming of metal slabs employs liquids instead of molds or uses liquid-assisted forming to reduce the processing cost of molds, shorten the production cycle, and achieve the effect of multi-purpose use of one mold.   Principle and characteristics of metal slab hydroforming The technology is to use a metal slab hydraulic forming method, specifically the use of liquid oil instead of a rigid concave mold, so that the slab in the liquid oil pressure under the action of the convex mold fit forming, is a flexible forming technology. This kind of sheet metal hydraulic deep drawing forming universal mold mainly includes the upper mold part and the lower mold part, of which the two types are shown in Figure 1. Specifically, the method is to fill the concave mold with liquid, and when the convex mold is lowered, the liquid in the hydraulic chamber of the concave mold is compressed, generating a relative pressure, which adheres the blank tightly to the convex mold, forming a powerful friction-keeping effect, so that the workpieces are formed exactly according to the shape of the convex mold. In addition, fluid lubrication is generated between the concave die and the lower surface of the sheet, which reduces harmful frictional resistance. This not only makes the forming limit of the sheet much higher, but also reduces local defects that may be generated during conventional deep drawing, thus forming parts with high precision and good surface quality. The presence of liquid oil makes sheet metal hydroforming characterized by friction holding and overflow lubrication.   Specific implementation process The specific operation process of the deep drawing and forming mold mounted on the double-action press is as follows: Step one. As shown in Figure 2, the upper and lower molds of the die are in the open state. First of all, the robot will have been surface lubrication oil coated slab into the lower die on the plane, and then connected with the press outside the slide on the upper die pressing edge ring in the press outside the slide driven down, pressing edge ring in the guide column, guide sleeve guiding role, fell on the upper surface of the slab, while using the deep drawing rib will be compacted, the inner slide, the outer slide plate on the upper die, the lower die to play a role in guiding. Note that the guiding stroke design is not less than 50mm. Subsequently, under the drive of the press slider, the upper mold connected to the press slider downward, under the dual role of the convex mold core and hydraulic oil, with the gradual forming of the slab deepening and deepening, here to strictly control the downward speed of the upper mold, to prevent the overflow of hydraulic oil groove plate. Finally, the slide in the press just reached the lower stop, the bottom surface of the slab finally contact the top block on the surface of the oil film, spring compression, limit guide column is a mechanical limit, which plays a role in limiting the top block to prevent the workpiece over the limit was crushed, the top of the block at the bottom of the holes can be inserted into the upper end of the stepped limit guide column, the formation of the guide column guide sleeve to play a guiding role. Finally complete the slab deep drawing and forming process. The second step. After the deep drawing and forming is completed, driven by the inner slide of the press, the convex mold core of the upper mold upward demolding. At the same time, driven by the outer slide of the press, the crimping ring of the upper die is lifted upward. As shown in Figure 3, under the action of spring pressure, the slab is lifted up, and then the robot grabs the slab and completes a deep-drawing and forming cycle. Precautions for mold adjustment Understand the specific structure of the mold Understand the design intent of the designers, carefully understand the engineering plan, the stamping process steps, the specific structure of the mold, the installation of the sequence and so on. Check the specific installation conditions of the mold. (1) Check whether the pressure, crimping force, ejector force and other forming elements that the mold can carry are compatible with the press, and check whether the closing height and size of the mold are compatible with the press. (2) Check whether the mounting associated dimensions of the mold are consistent with the press. (3) Check whether the bolts and pressure plates for mold installation are available and meet the requirements or not. (4) Check whether the upper and lower molds need to be installed pads and the required objects are ready. Mold installation To adjust and install the mold on the press of the model set in the process drawing. Mold Adjustment To check the test mold according to the requirements of the engineering plan, check whether each working part of the mold meets the requirements of stamping performance, and take measures to eliminate the existing problems until qualified parts can be stamped out. Trial punching A number of pieces are punched out in order to obtain the final results of the mold test for specific suitability. Advantages of molds This is a deep-drawing and forming die set on a double-action press, and has the following advantages: (1) The forming limit is improved, and the number of times the workpiece is formed as well as the number and cost of supporting dies are reduced. (2) The resilience of the formed parts is small, the generation of internal wrinkles is suppressed, and the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the workpiece are improved. (3) Mold structure is simple, processing accuracy requirements are low, good versatility, supporting the number of small, very suitable for modern small batch, multi-species flexible processing requirements. (4) due to the application of liquid, can be formed at room temperature some difficult to form materials, such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, high-temperature alloys and complex structural welding plate, etc., can be processed in the shape of complex parts. (5) Forming such parts can be used to liquid-filled deep drawing combined with local key features of the rigid die shaping method, which not only gives full play to the advantages of liquid-filled forming billet deformation uniformity and good forming performance, but also gives full play to the advantages of rigid die forming local small features, which can realize the sequential and accurate forming of complex features. (6) Special plates require high surface quality. Due to the soft aluminum alloy, the traditional stamping process can easily cause scratches, wrinkles, slip lines and other defects on the surface of the part, and the subsequent process must be used to eliminate scratches by adding a special process. Liquid-filled forming uses high-pressure fluid media instead of rigid molds, reducing the friction between the material surface and rigid molds. (7) The concave die and the working edge part of the crimping ring are used as inserts to improve the life of the mold. (8) The crimping ring and the convex mold are guided between the inner slide and the outer slide, and the mold with this structure has a simple structure, easy processing and good guiding effect. (9) In the parts where the material is easy to flow, generally are arranged with deep-drawing rib to control the material to flow evenly into the concave mold.

Continuous die (also known as continuous stamping die or continuous die stamping) is a commonly used type of die design in metal stamping processing, mainly used for mass production. The following are the design features of continuous dies and their advantages:  Design features: 1.

Convenient maintenance: the structure is reasonably designed for easy maintenance and troubleshooting. 7. Space-saving: compared with single-process molds, continuous molds can complete more processes in a smaller space, saving space in the workshop. In conclusion, continuous die has obvious advantages in high-volume metal stamping production, which can help enterprises to improve production efficiency, reduce costs and improve market competitiveness. However, continuous die is more difficult to design and manufacture, and the cost is relatively high, so it is more suitable for long-term, high-volume production needs.

Introduction：In the field of metal processing, deep drawing process is a common forming method, which is widely used in the production of various products. However, some problems often occur in the deep drawing process, affecting product quality. In this paper, we will analyze the common problems of deep-drawing products, and put forward the corresponding solution strategies. First, deep-drawing products common problems 1. wrinkle Wrinkling is one of the most common problems in the deep drawing process, mainly manifested as uneven folding or bulging of the material in the stretching process. Wrinkles will lead to unqualified appearance of the product, and even affect the use of performance in serious cases. 2. Rupture Rupture refers to the process of deep drawing, the material due to excessive force and fracture phenomenon. Rupture will lead to product scrap, reduce production efficiency. 3. Dimensional deviation Dimensional deviation refers to the size of the deep-drawing product does not match the design requirements. Dimensional deviation will affect the assembly and performance of the product. 4. Surface scratches Surface scratches are scratches on the surface of the product due to the roughness of the mold or material surface in the deep drawing process. Surface scratches will affect the appearance of the product quality. 5. Sticky mold Sticky mold refers to the material in the deep-drawing process and mold adhesion, resulting in product surface scratches or strains. Sticky mold will affect the appearance and performance of the product.   Problem analysis 1. Mold design is unreasonable Mold design is a key factor affecting the quality of deep drawing products. If the mold design is unreasonable, it may lead to uneven material flow, stress concentration and other problems, which will lead to wrinkles, rupture and other phenomena. 2. Unstable material properties Unstable material properties will lead to uneven force in the deep-drawing process, resulting in a variety of problems. Such as material strength is too high, plasticity is not enough, easy to lead to rupture; material surface quality is poor, easy to produce sticky mold and surface scratches. 3. Poor lubrication conditions Lubrication conditions have a great influence on the deep drawing process. Poor lubrication will lead to increased friction, so that the material flow is not uniform, easy to produce wrinkles, rupture and other problems. 4. Production process is unreasonable Production process is unreasonable, such as stretching speed is too fast, stretching stroke is not appropriate, etc., will also lead to deep drawing product problems. Third, the solution strategy 1. Optimization of mold design According to the product structure and material properties, the reasonable design of the mold structure, so that the material flow is uniform, reduce stress concentration. At the same time, the use of appropriate mold surface treatment technology to improve the surface quality of the mold. 2. Selection of suitable materials Selection of stable performance, in line with the deep-drawing requirements of the material, to ensure that the material has good plasticity and strength. For special requirements of the product, can choose alloy materials or surface treatment. 3. Improve the lubrication conditions Choose suitable lubricant, ensure that the lubricant evenly coated in the mold and material surface. Adjust the concentration and application amount of the lubricant to reduce friction. 4. Optimize the production process According to the product characteristics, adjust the drawing speed, drawing stroke and other parameters to make the deep drawing process more stable. Strengthen the production process monitoring, timely detection of problems and take measures. Summarize The solution to the problem of deep-drawing products needs to be considered comprehensively from the mold design, material selection, lubrication conditions and production process. Through continuous optimization and improvement, improve the quality of deep drawing products and production efficiency, to create greater value for the enterprise.

Metal drawing and metal stamping are both commonly used forming processes in sheet metal processing, and they differ in principle and application: Metal deep drawing: - Principle: Deep drawing is the process of forming sheet metal into an open container or box-like workpiece by passing it through a deep drawing die. During deep drawing, the material undergoes plastic deformation under the action of the die, with the center area of the material being stretched while the edge areas may be compressed. - Features:   - Usually used to make parts of greater depth, such as tanks and cups.   - The material flow is mainly axial, i.e. the material flows in the direction of deep drawing.   - The change in material thickness during deep drawing is relatively uniform.   - Larger drawing forces are required. Metal stamping: - Principle: Stamping is a metal working method that uses presses and dies to pressurize plates, strips, tubes, profiles, etc., so as to plastically deform or separate them. Stamping includes a variety of processes such as shearing, bending, forming, and deep drawing. - Features:   - Suitable for mass production, high efficiency and lower cost.   - Parts with complex shapes and high dimensional accuracy requirements can be made.   - Material flow can be multi-directional, not just limited to axial direction.   - Wide range of processes, including simple shearing to complex continuous die stamping.   - Compared to deep drawing, stamping can be accomplished in a shorter period of time and requires relatively small equipment. Distinction: - Process Purpose: Deep drawing is more focused on making parts with greater depth, while stamping is more focused on making parts with complex shapes and large batches. - Material Flow: Deep drawing mainly flows in one direction (axial), while stamping can be multi-directional. - Die Design: Deep drawing dies are usually designed with material flow and rupture prevention in mind, while stamping dies take into account a variety of factors such as shearing, bending and forming. - Application areas: Deep drawing process is mostly used to make container products, while stamping process is widely used in automotive, electronics, home appliances, hardware and other fields.   In actual production, depending on the specific needs and design of the product, the deep drawing and stamping processes may be used in combination to achieve the best molding results.
