Improving existing technological processes is an important stage in the development of all industries. As a consequence, this article is devoted to the analysis of the process of flanging round holes in sheet steel. The existing typical technological process, with a detailed analysis, gives grounds for substantiating the idea of an innovative solution. Changing the sequence of the traditional flanging method will ensure high productivity and material savings.
Of the many promising methods of metal forming by pressure, which include flanging of round holes, two are given for comparison: the traditional one and the improved one. The methodology of the traditional direction, worked out over the years, provides for a clear sequence of the technological process using tools for marking, centering, making a hole and using tools for flanging.
The final, after the previous operations of marking the centers of the holes, punching, making holes, is the flanging stage. The tapered punch (usually a metal rod) prevents the small-diameter hole from deviating from the marking lines and ensures the centering of the punch-blank-matrix system. Following the above steps, the conventional workflow involves positioning the workpiece over the surface of the punch hole to guide the tool in the desired direction. For the manufacture of a flanged hole, a special sharpening of the working part of the punch is performed so that the diameter of the central part of the tool is equal to the difference between the diameters of the guide hole of the matrix and the inner diameter of the workpiece of the part. To avoid further displacement of the hole, the workpiece is centered by placing it on the die and the next operation is supposed to lower the punch to flang the hole.
As a result, the article touches on the topic, taking into account the widespread use of thin sheet metal, including in the agricultural sector, the feasibility of using an innovative idea to improve the technological process associated with the processing of sheet material, namely thin metal sheets. It is advisable to note that, for example, a material is considered that is characterized by its versatility, namely steel. Despite numerous sources devoted to the study of improving the flanging technological process, there are a number of issues, in particular, the extension of this direction to numerous varieties of metal materials that have surfaces with and without coating, various thicknesses within thin-walled rolled products. The most significant result is the improved technological process of flanging will find application in the system of efficient servicing of agricultural machinery.
