Gallig-Free Dry Net Shaping of Titanium and Titanium Alloy Eye-Glass Frame Parts toward Green Manufacturing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Massively carbon supersaturated (MCSed) tool steel dies were prepared for dry, galling free forging, microtexturing and fine-blanking of titanium and titanium alloy eye-glass frame parts. Titanium temples were forged in dry and galling-free to investigate the role of MCS treatment to reduce surface roughing of temples. They were also micro-textured to discuss the superiority of MCS to product quality. Dry, galling-free fine-blanking was utilized to describe the life-time extension of MCSed tool steel dies. Various eye-glass frame parts were forged in dry to state the statistic evaluation on the galling-free manufacturing features. The intermediate chemical treatments as well as barreling and polishing steps were saved to reduce the amount of wastes from manufacturing factories of titanium and titanium alloy eye-glass frames toward zero emission.
