Understand various forming processes of metal materials (VII): Metal semi-solid forming

7、 Semi solid metal forming Semi solid forming: the unique rheological and stirring properties of non dendritic semi-solid metals (SSM) are used to control the quality of castings. Semi solid forming can be divided into rheological forming and thixotropic forming.  (1) Rheoforming (2) Thixoforming Technical features: 1. Reduce liquid forming defects and significantly improve quality and reliability; 2. The forming temperature is lower than the full liquid forming temperature, which greatly reduces the thermal shock to the mold; 3. It can produce alloys that cannot be produced by conventional liquid forming methods; Application: at present, it has been successfully used…

Understand various forming processes of metal materials (VI): Metal injection molding

6、 Metal injection molding MIM (metal injection molding): short for metal injection molding. It is a forming method of injecting the plasticized mixture of metal powder and its binder into the model. Firstly, the selected powder is mixed with the binder, then the mixture is granulated, and then the shape required by injection molding is formed. MIM process flow: MIM process is divided into four unique processing steps (mixing, forming, degreasing and sintering) to realize the production of parts, and determine whether surface treatment is required according to the product characteristics. Technical features: 1. Responsible for the parts of one-time…

Understand various forming processes of metal materials (IV): Welding

Welding: also known as fusion, fusion is a manufacturing process and technology that joins metals or other thermoplastic materials such as plastics by heating, high temperature or high pressure. Welding classification: a. Fusion welding: Using a certain heat source, the connected part of the component is locally melted into liquid, and then cooled and crystallized into one, which is called fusion welding. b. Pressure welding: Using physical effects such as friction, diffusion and pressurization to overcome the unevenness of the two connecting surfaces and remove oxide film and other pollutants is a method that the atoms on the two connecting…

Thread NC milling and its programming

Thread NC milling and its programming

Introduction: The traditional thread processing methods are: the external thread is turned with thread turning tool, and the thread contour can be cut out only after multiple tool walks, which leads to low production efficiency; The internal thread is tapped with a tap. When working, the bottom hole of the thread must be processed first, and then the tool shall be changed for processing. The auxiliary time is long. With the development of NC technology, the machining method of NC milling thread has gradually replaced the traditional thread machining method. Compared with traditional thread milling methods, the efficiency and accuracy…
