Study Notes
Mechanical Working of Metals
- Mechanical working processes involve permanent changes in material shape due to external forces.
- Processes include rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing, and sheet metal working.
- Stresses induced are generally greater than the yield strength but less than the fracture strength of the material, except for shearing, piercing, and blanking. These processes exceed the material's fracture strength.
- Starting materials for mechanical working processes vary, and may include cast ingots, billets, cast preforms, powdered-metal bars, bar stock, powdered-metal preforms, or blanks, depending on the specific process.
Extrusion
- Extrusion: Shaping a metal block into a desired shape by forcing it through a die opening.
- Two types: Direct and Indirect.
- Direct extrusion: Metal flows in the same direction of the force application.
- Indirect extrusion: Metal flows in the opposite direction of the force application.
- Hot extrusion is frequently used for non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminum, magnesium, copper alloys).
- Cold extrusion is more commonly used when higher tolerances are required for metals such as steel, to maximize strength and reduce waste.
Forging
- Forging: Shaping a metal by applying compressive force, can be done either hot or cold, although hot forging is more common.
- Two types: Open die forging and Closed die forging
- Open die forging: Uses two flat dies, less expensive, suitable for simpler shapes and lower production volumes.
- Closed die forging: Uses two dies with cavities, suitable for more complex shapes, high accuracy, and higher production volumes.
- Common forging operations: Upsetting, heading, fullering, edging, drawing down, blocking, cutting off, and piercing.
- Hammer forging (or open die) and Press forging (or closed die)
Rolling
- Rolling: Shaping metal by passing it between rotating rollers, the main aim is to reduce thickness.
- Rolling methods: Two-high, three-high, and four-high rolling mills. Different types are suited to different products and production volumes.
- Key terms: Bloom, billet, slab, plate, sheet, strip, and foil (different shapes with differing dimensions).
- Rolling is a crucial step in many manufacturing processes, particularly for ferrous metals to produce plates, sheets and coils.
Other Processes
-
Coining: A closed die forging operation that produces very high pressures, used for making coins, medals, badges, etc., produces high accuracy, precise shapes.
-
Embossing: Creates raised or depressed designs on a metal surface, commonly used for decorative or functional purposes, unlike the squeezing of coining.
-
Hobbing: Creating a die cavity by pressing a hardened punch into a softer metal block, creating smooth, complex shaped dies.
-
Riveting: Permanently joining two metal parts using a rivet.
-
Staking: A fastening method using a shaped punch to deform a projection of one part so it grips the second, often used as a replacement for more conventional methods.
-
Shot Peening: Impacts of shots (steel, aluminum, or glass) on a metal surface to increase fatigue strength and to prevent cracking under corrosive conditions.
-
Hot/Cold Forming, Warm-forming
-
HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing): High pressure, high temperature forming process for intricate shapes and high temperature alloys.
-
Super-plastic Forging: Forging at elevated temperatures (near the melting point), allowing large deformations and producing more complex shapes.
-
Metal Spinning: Used to produce hollow, axisymmetrical shapes.
-
Various other manufacturing techniques discussed further for various metals.
