Abstract: DEFORM is a software used for FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulation. By using this software, I take a research on the procedure when a steel billet with defect of artificial loosening is drawn out in a simulated environment. Then I build a FEA model about the loosening and compaction of a large-sized rotor and stimulate the procedure in accordance with current craft card involving rotor forging. Finally, I get a result: the relative density of the loose area reaches up to 85% after the first drawing-out process (note: forging ratio 1.47). After simulating the procedure of chamfering on a billet which has been already drawn out, I found that chamfering had little substantial impact on the its loosening and compaction.

Abstract: In order to improve the preshaving hob design quality and efficiency, development of the CAD software that Engineering calculation and working drawing are integrated. Introduced the software’s design of overall structure and main function of modules, elaborated the determination of the optimal design’s variables, objective function and constraint and the choice of optimal method of the preshaving hob’s antenna and chamfering section. The software has been successfully used in medium and large machinery manufacturing enterprises, improved the preshaving hob’s design speed and design quality, and reduced the labor intensity of the designer.

Abstract: The hole quality on sheet metal parts is directly dependent on the die design and process parameters. In conventional piercing process, the secondary operations such as shaving, reaming and grinding are needed for manufacturing the precise-dimensioned holed parts without any cracks, resulting in the increase of both production time and costs. The fine-piercing process, referenced to the fine-blanking principle, is used to produce the precise-dimensioned holed parts with smooth-cut surfaces over the whole material thickness in a single operation. However, it is difficult to achieve the suitable die design and process parameters for meeting the part requirements. In this study, the die design by chamfering punch cutting edge was investigated on both the experiments and the finite-element method (FEM). The results were compared with the results obtained when the conventional die design with the punch cutting-edge radius was used. The FEM-simulation results showed the amount of die-roll, smooth-cut surface, and cracks agreed well with the experimental results. The results showed that an application of punch cutting-edge chamfer results in a superior fine-pierced hole surface could be achieved. Furthermore, the mechanism and effects of the punch cutting-edge chamfer have been theoretically clarified on basis of the material-flow analysis and stress distribution.

Abstract: This paper proposed an on-machine laser deburring method for narrow slits made by laser cutting. Burrs are generally unwanted materials which remain at the cutting edge after machining operations, such as grinding, drilling, milling or turning. A cost necessary to remove burrs becomes a significant portion of the machining costs. In laser cutting, dross removal was significant problem. It is difficult to prevent completely dross from adhering in laser cutting for stainless sheets. In laser cutting for adornments, it is necessary to remove the dross and to chamfer the cutting edges in order not to injure the hand. It is difficult to remove the dross and to chamfer the edges of a narrow slit by machine work or handwork. We irradiated the defocused laser beam to the slits again for these post-processing. To control the depth and width of the removal area, we examined the relationship between the removal area and the deburring conditions. It was clarified that the width and depth of removal area can be controlled by irradiation time and energy fluence.
