Study Notes

Annealing Process

  • Used to relieve work hardening between dies.
  • Increases material ductility, making it easier to shape.

Preparation of Work for Drawing

  • Cleaning: Essential to protect the work surface and draw die from damage.
  • Pointing: Involves reducing the diameter of the starting end to facilitate insertion into the draw die.

Design Considerations for Machining

  • Avoid sharp corners and angles to minimize stress concentrations, which can lead to hot tearing and cracks.
  • Incorporate generous fillets on inside corners; blend sharp edges to enhance the overall structural integrity.

Draft Guidelines in Casting

  • In expendable mold casting, a draft angle of 1° is recommended to ease pattern removal from the mold.
  • In permanent mold casting, a draft angle of 2° to 3° assists in the removal of parts from the mold.
  • Allow similar tapers for designs utilizing solid cores to ensure effective mold utilization.
