Effects of K Factor on the Length of Aircraft Sheetmetal Material Preparation under Unfolding State

Abstract:

To prepare materials for sheetmetal unfolded based on CATIA software became an important link in processing and forming of sheetmetal parts. In this paper through the research of practical problem encountered in the process of sheetmetal unfolding preparation in aircraft manufacturing enterprises, introduce and prove the influence of sheetmetal unfolding coefficient on the preparation of raw materials; through analysis of external factors like the characteristics of materials and ductility of sheetmetal, developed a suitable method to calculating the length of sheet metal stocks. It greatly enhanced the level of sheetmetal manufacturing in aircraft manufacturing enterprises, meet the requirements needed on sheetmetal processing, and bring about the technology expand from theory to practice.
