Rockwell hardness tester is used for hardness testing of metal stamping parts. Small stamping parts with complex shapes can be used to test the plane is very small and can not be tested on ordinary desktop Rockwell hardness tester.
Stamping process includes blanking, bending, drawing, forming, finishing and other processes. Stamping materials are mainly hot-rolled or cold-rolled (mainly cold-rolled) metal strip materials, such as carbon steel plate, alloy steel plate, spring steel plate, galvanized plate, tin plate, stainless steel plate, copper and copper alloy plate, aluminum and aluminum alloy plate, etc.
PHP series portable surface Rockwell hardness tester is very suitable for testing the hardness of these stamping parts. Alloy stamping parts are the most commonly used parts in the field of metal processing and mechanical manufacturing. Stamping parts processing is a method of separating or forming metal strips by means of dies. It has a wide range of applications.
The main purpose of hardness testing of stamping materials is to determine whether the annealing degree of the purchased metal sheet is suitable for the subsequent stamping process. Different kinds of stamping process require different hardness levels of sheet metal. Aluminum alloy sheet used for stamping can be tested by Wechsler hardness tester. When the thickness of material is more than 13mm, it can be changed to Barkholder hardness tester. Pure aluminium or low hardness aluminium alloy sheet should be used Barkholder hardness tester.
In the stamping industry, stamping is sometimes called sheet metal forming, but it is slightly different. The so-called sheet metal forming refers to the forming method of using sheet metal, thin-walled tube, thin section as raw materials for plastic processing, which is collectively called sheet metal forming. At this time, the deformation in the direction of thick plate is generally not taken into account.
