Testing of tool material with different heat treatments and hardening methods (tool concepts) against different sheet metal qualities.
Purpose
Testing of tool material with different heat treatments and hardening methods (tool concepts) against different sheet metal qualities with respect to wear, cost, cycle time and life length. The tests result in a report were a diagram over which tool concepts to be chosen when cutting a specific metal quality.
Method
The production/tests are performed until 50 000 strokes with "strong" supervision with the condition "abnormal high wear". Documentation and analyzes are performed on the cutting edge and degree level using a profilometer. Cutting force and amount of delivery oil are measured continuously during a test.
Prestanda:
- Press rate: 60 strokes/min
- Cutting depth: t*2 mm
- Cutting speed: 0.21 - 0 m/s
- Total cutting depth: 15 mm
- Feeding length (x): 7 ≤ x ≤ 15 mm
- Detail width: ≤150 mm
- Blank holder pressure (adjustable): ≤ 2.2 ton
