Drawing – Die and punch radii should be generous as compared to the drawn metal. It is suggested that the radius of the die be approximately 4 ½ times of the thickness of the drawn metal. The punch radius should be 8 times the metal thickness Pressure – National Die Alloy must have a
Material: C95400 Aluminum Bronze Processes: Milling, Drilling, Counter Boring This Aluminum Bronze Wear Plate Insert is used as an expendable insert in machinery used to produce various clamping and mounting products. The cam driver wear insert is used in the cam station wear plate. This wear insert is milled and shaped to accommodate the
Tube bending applications range from very simple to very complex. Many of the more complex bends require that the tube be supported by an internal mandrel. A mandrel’s purpose is to keep the tube from collapsing and wrinkling during the bending process. An ideal bend doesn’t require a mandrel. However, not all bending situations are
There are many attributes of Aluminum Bronze Alloys that make them ideal for die applications. These include superior corrosion and wear resistance, as well as the non-galling property when against many wrought materials. For years aluminum bronze alloys have been used as dies for forming and drawing operations for sheet and plate alloys such
Material: C95400 Aluminum Bronze Processes: Turing, Boring, Grooving This aluminum bronze toggle bushing is used in the mechanical toggle assembly of a thermoforming station. The forming station produces highly detailed parts at high speeds with great consistency. The toggle assembly is one of the three mechanical assemblies that are critical to this thermoformer. They
