Metalworking methods and processes

admin laser-ing.com — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 12:32:55 +0000

In order for the metal to be used for a further purpose, it is necessary to process it. Metal processing is a process by which the metal changes its dimension, shape or some properties so that it can be used later in the process. Metal as such can be processed manually or by machine. The choice of metal processing depends on its later use.

Machine metal processing is performed on a machine that has predefined tools which are used in processing. One of the main advantages of the machine metal processing, is the precision and the processing speed. As machines replace the man, the processing error is reduced to a minimum.

Machine metal processing can be divided into:

I. Processing with predefined tool geometry

Turning
Milling
Sawing
Drilling

II. Metal processing without a defined cutting tool blade

Grinding

III. Metal processing by using a free blade

Lapping
Polishing
Honing

IV. Processing without using a blade

Each of the above metal processing techniques has its advantages and disadvantages.

The choice of the metal processing technique depends to a great extent on the future use of the metal being processed, that is, on the precision and the processing quality.

On the other hand, manual metal processing is carried out using hand tools such as blades, shreds or abrasive paper.

This method of metal processing requires the strength of human muscles.

Manual metalworking can be divided according to tools

Filing
Sawing
Drilling
Grinding
Scraping

Sheet processing can also be carried out using the aforesaid techniques and methods.

Metal processing division

Metal processing can be divided into:

Treatment of the formless shape – eg waste material processing
Metal processing without separating particles – eg minting
Processing by particle removal – eg turning
Metal processing by joining: eg welding
Metal protection – eg coloring
Metal processing by changing properties – eg hardening

Heat metal processing

Heat metal processing implies the effect of the heat on the metal to change the metal properties and thus affect the microstructure.

The most common metals that are heat treated are steels, and the main reasons why metal processing is used are in the first place an increase in strength, followed by an increase in toughness and/or reshaping.

Heat metal processing takes place:

Before approaching to the deformation shaping
After formatting, to remove residual stresses
When an increase in strength is needed

Metal processing by using a CNC machine

The CNC lathe is a machine tool used to process metals and sheets by separating the particles. The application of the CNC technology in processing brings numerous advantages, primarily related to speed and precision. One of the main advantages of using the CNC technology in metal and sheet machine processing is the ability to complete demanding projects using CAD-CAM technology where 3D drawings commands are used. However, one of the major drawbacks of this type of metalworking and breakage is the large amount of scrap forming . However, this disadvantage is compensated by high processing quality and small refinement requirements.

Metal and sheet machine processing, provides great precision and quality with little need for further refinement. By using the CNC technology, more demanding projects are transferred directly to CNC machines thanks to the CAD-CAM technology, and then processed.

Metal cutting by separating particles

admin laser-ing.com — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 10:02:31 +0000

One of the metalworking techniques is cutting. Metal cutting is a process in which, a cutting tool penetrating the material causes the separation of the particles of that same material.

There are two basic ways of metal cutting:

Rough processing – is a basic treatment and consists of scraping, drilling, milling, etc. The main object of this kind of processing is to remove a larger quantity of material
Final processing – broaching, grinding. This procedure is used to perform the final processing, after the cutting is being done

If metal cutting tools could be divided in groups, they would be divided into:

Hand metal cutting tools– eg. Hand saws, scissors
Machine metal cutting tools– laser cutter, plasma cutter, water jet cutting, autogenous cutting, etc.

The decision of how to cut the material depends on the speed, the quality, the precision and general requirements of the cutting. Accordingly, cutting tools are chosen as well.

An example of cutting a material with a hand tool is sheet cutting. When it comes to sheet cutting; scissors (hand or desk) are used in most cases, and there is minimal snout present during the cutting. However, the cutting should be further processed due to the sharp edges that occur in the cutting process.

Machine metal cutting is mostly done by the CNC technology, which has many benefits. Therefore, for example, CNC laser metal cutting, provides a precision of 0.2 mm. Iron cutting is possible as well, by using a CNC and one of the cutters (eg. plasma cutter).

Metal cutting principle

When cutting, the material being cut (sheet metal, iron, steel …) is subject to plastic deformation, the stress of the cut material is increased, it begins to leak, which eventually causes cracking or deformation. When cutting, snout occurs as well. Moreover, the cut alone in some cutting techniques requires additional processing while in other (eg laser cutting) it doesn’t.

Cutting tools

In addition to the before mentioned division into hand and machine cutting tools, cutting tools can be divided into:

Tools separating the material by cutting (eg. knife)
Tools separating the material by particle separation (eg. drill bit)
Cutting tools without direct contact – energy cutting (eg. plasma cutter)

As has already been mentioned, snout occurs when cutting the material. In some techniques the amount of snout is negligible, while in some it is pretty large.

The amount and the way of forming of the snout depends on the plastic properties of the cut material and can be divided into:

Broken
Continuous
Lamellar

When cutting, forces that affect the heat of the material occur, and the material can be deformed if the amount of heat transferred to it is large. However, today’s sophisticated cutting techniques mostly transmit a minimal amount of heat to the material, so deformation is avoided. In addition, most sophisticated cutting techniques (plasma, laser cutting) leave very little cuts behind, and the cut itself doesn’t need to be further processed.

The development of technology, especially the CNC, increases the precision of cutting. For example, CNC laser metal cutting achieves a precision of 0.2 mm.

Materials used for cutting tool production

When cutting material, apart from the deformation of the material, the depletion of the cutting tool happens as well.

Therefore, the following requirements are posed on the cutting tool:

Cold cutting tools – up to 200 ° C: depletion, deformation, hitting resistance
Hot cutting tools – above 200 ° C: depletion, corrosion, hitting resistance

With each cutting tool the following differs:

Causes that affect wear – heat can increase depletion
Depletion mechanisms – eg oxidation
The way it is being used – eg fracture
Depletion Criteria – Different cutting materials have different criteria when it comes to depletion

Metal cutting is one of the most important processes before any further processing. The development of the CNC technology enabled a high precision of the cut, that is as high as 0.2 mm.
