Four Principles for Material Selection of Hardware Stamping Parts
1. Choose the appropriate sizes for the sizing plate as far as possible. After shearing from the steel mill, no secondary shearing is necessary to reduce the cost of shearing. For the coiling plate, try to choose the coiling material specifications and process of uncoiling forming, so as to reduce the workload of secondary shearing and improve the work efficiency.
2. There is a deviation requirement for the thickness of the sheet. Usually within the allowable range of deviation, the sheet with lower deviation should be selected first.
3. Determining the shape and size of unfolded sheet metal for metal stamping parts is the precondition for analyzing the deformation degree of stamping parts, designing technicality and drawing up technological rules. If the shape of sheet metal is suitable, not only the phenomenon of uneven distribution of deformation along the sheet metal can be significantly improved, but also the forming limit can be improved, and the ear protrusion height can be reduced, and the trimming margin can be reduced. In addition, for some parts directly formed after blanking, if the exact shape and size of sheet metal can be given, the number of die adjustment can be reduced, thus shortening the production cycle and improving productivity.
4. When selecting materials for product design, avoid the excessive performance of products caused by the selection of high-grade materials. At the same time, on the premise of meeting the requirements of products and processes, try to select the material and material thickness of existing mass-produced models to form a material platform to facilitate subsequent purchasing and inventory management.
Five Principles for Processing Process of Hardware Stamping Parts
1. When the requirement of section quality and dimension precision of metal stamping parts is high, we can consider adding dressing process after blanking process or directly adopting precision blanking process.
2. The number of bending processes depends mainly on the complexity of its structural shape, depending on the number of bending angles, relative position and bending direction. When the bending radius of the bending part is less than the allowable value, a shaping procedure is added after the bending.
3. The number of drawing process is related to material properties, drawing height, drawing step number, drawing diameter and material thickness, which can only be determined by drawing process calculation. When the fillet radius of the drawing part is small or the dimension precision is high, a shaping procedure should be added after drawing.
4. In order to improve the stability of stamping process, it is sometimes necessary to increase the number of processes to ensure the quality of stamping parts.
5. Punching metal stamping parts with simple shape is completed by single-process die. Because the structure or strength of the die is limited, the inner and outer contour of the workpiece with complex blanking shape should be divided into several parts, and a multi-pass punching process should be adopted. If necessary, the continuous die can be chosen. For metal stamping parts with high flatness requirements, a leveling process can be added after the blanking process.
