How do you ensure the right level of hardness for your CNC machined parts? 🔧🗜️🔩 When selecting the right material for your CNC machined part, hardness is often one of the key considerations. Harder materials resist deformation and scratches, making them longer-lasting and easier to clean and maintain. However, for materials that might not be hard enough for what you need, there are options to strengthen the material, including case hardening, carburising, nitriding, and many more. Protolabs - Europe latest design tip explores how to test material hardness and the options you have for making low-hardness materials stronger.

Today we share a technology , very cool 😎 (like venom) Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-contact machining method that removes materials by electrical discharge. The working principle is to form an electric field between the tool (usually conductive material) and the workpiece, and generate high temperature instantaneously through a short discharge pulse, melting or vaporizing the tiny metal particles on the surface of the workpiece, so as to achieve precision cutting. Edm is especially suitable for machining high hardness, difficult to cut metal materials, such as titanium alloy, carbide and stainless steel. ✍ 👍 1. High processing accuracy: suitable for manufacturing complex parts and molds, especially for mold manufacturing with high shape accuracy requirements. 👀 2. processing hardness is not limited: processing without physical cutting force, can effectively deal with high hardness and brittle materials, to avoid the traditional cutting processing difficult to complete the task. 🕵♀️ 3. Non-contact processing: avoid the wear or deformation caused by direct friction between the tool and the workpiece, and ensure the surface quality and dimensional stability of the workpiece. ⚒ 4. Suitable for complex shapes: EDM is suitable for machining parts with complex geometric shapes, such as inner holes, grooves and special-shaped surfaces. 🔨 5. Reduce the thermal effect: Because the EDM adopts the method of pulse discharge, the large area of heat affected zone is avoided, and the thermal stress and deformation risk of the workpiece are reduced. #CuttingTools #Carbide #HSS #HighSpeedSteel #Blades #TurningTools #MillingCutters #Drills #ThreadingTools #Reamers #Broaches #SawBlades #StampingTools #CNCTools #GrindingTools #ExternalTurningTools #PrecisionTools #Customtools #Metalworking #MoldMaking #Aerospace #AutomotiveIndustry #ElectronicsIndustry #MedicalDevices #EngineeringPlastics #PrecisionPartsManufacturing

Today I would share the laser cutting of sheet metal. 📢 Laser cutting, also known as laser beam cutting or CNC laser cutting, is a thermal cutting process that is frequently used in sheet metal processing. 🔶 Why Choose Laser Cutting for Sheet Metal Fabrication Projects? ◾ Higher accuracy and precision. ◾ Better speed and efficiency. ◾ Low costs 🔶 Advantages of laser cutting over traditional sheet metal cutting processes: ◾ Punching compared to laser cutting, punching is subject to greater design limitations. It is not suitable for producing certain components, such as those with fine or thin details. ◾ Waterjet cutting compared to laser cutting, waterjet cutting offers slower cutting speeds and broader kerfs. Additionally, it requires more consumable materials and maintenance, which makes it better suited for manufacturers who perform low to moderate amounts of sheet metal cutting operations. ◾ EDM compared to laser cutting, EDM is much slower. The cutting speed cannot be scaled up between thick to thin sheets, and pilot holes must be pre-drilled into the material to initiate the cutting operation. Additionally, unlike laser cutting, EDM can only be used for conductive materials since the cutting process works by forming a micro-arc between a thin wire and the material. #sheetmetalfabrication #lazer #cutting

EDM refers to the processing of copper males by using the erosion effect of spark discharge on the object in the liquid medium in the lower voltage range. EDM can process thin-walled, elastic, low stiffness, micro-fine holes, shaped holes, deep holes, and other parts with special requirements, but also in the mold processing of fine text. Copper male is the electrode of EDM, just like a seal, stamped on what workpiece, its corresponding shape will appear. The copper is three-dimensional. Because of the variety of shapes of the copper male, it is often used to process molds with deep cavities, which cannot be processed by CNC, or which have special requirements for shapes and need to be engraved. etc #technology #industrial #mold #moldmaking #molddesign #moldmanufacturing #molding #injectionmolding #injectionmold #injection #plasticinjectionmolding #plasticparts #plasticsindustry #plastics #plasticmolding #plasticsengineering #plasticmanufacturing #plasticmold #quality #qualitycontrol #qualityfirst #price #auto #consumerelectronics #consumergoods #goods #homeappliance #appliances #video #3d #machine #edm #cncmachining #cnc #cncmachine #cncmilling #copper #coppermining #spark #voltage #electrodes #steal #engraving #cavities #core #liquid

The working principle of wire cutting is as follows: ◾ Connection of electrode wire and workpiece: Connect the electrode wire (negative electrode) and the workpiece (positive electrode) through a pulse power supply to form an electric field. ◾ Spark discharge: When the distance between the electrode wire and the workpiece is small enough, the pulse voltage can break through the medium between the two to form a spark discharge. ◾ High-temperature melting: The high temperature generated by the spark discharge causes the metal to melt or vaporize locally, thereby removing the material on the workpiece. ◾ Material removal: The melted or vaporized metal is carried away by the working fluid to form a slit, completing the material removal. ◾ CNC control: The movement trajectory of the electrode wire is controlled by a CNC device to achieve cutting of complex shapes.
