Tool wear in titanium machining / Förslitning av skärverktyg vid svarvning av titanOdelros, Stina January 2012 (has links)
The present work was performed at AB Sandvik Coromant as a part in improving the knowledge and understanding about wear of uncoated WC/Co cutting tools during turning of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. When machining titanium alloys, or any other material, wear of the cutting tools has a huge impact on the ability to shape the material as well as the manufacturing cost of the finished product. Due to the low thermal conductivity of titanium, high cutting temperatures will occur in narrow regions near the cutting edge during machining. This will result in high reaction and diffusion rates, resulting in high cutting tool wear rates. To be able to improve titanium machining, better knowledge and understanding about wear during these tough conditions are needed. Wear tests were performed during orthogonal turning of titanium alloy and the cutting tool inserts were analysed by SEM, EDS and optical imaging in Alicona InfiniteFocus. Simulations in AdvantEdge provided calculated values for cutting temperatures, cutting forces and contact stresses for the same conditions as used during wear tests. It was found that turning titanium alloy with WC/Co cutting tools at cutting speeds 30-60 m/min causes chamfering of the cutting tool edge and adhesion of a build-up layer (BUL) of workpiece material on top of the rake face wear land. The wear rate for these low cutting speeds was found to be almost unchanging during cutting times up to 3 minutes. During cutting speeds of 90-115 m/min, crater wear was found to be the dominating wear mechanism and the wear rate was found to have a linear dependence of cutting speed. An Arrhenius-type temperature dependent wear mechanism was found for high cutting speeds, between 90 and 115 m/min.

Nutzung vorhandener Standmengenpotentiale, Verschleißverringerung durch angepasste Elektrodenwerkstoffe und Elektrodenverschleißdiagnose beim WiderstandspunktschweißenGroßmann, Christoph 08 August 2019 (has links)
In dieser Arbeit werden vier Wege aufgezeigt die Gebrauchsdauer von Elektroden zu verbessern. Der erste Weg besteht darin die tatsächlich verfügbare Standmenge zu nutzen, soweit es statische Fräszyklen ermöglichen. Vom aktuellen Orientierungswert, welcher bei 120 Punktschweißverbindungen für eine Standmenge liegt, lassen sich auf diesem Weg 70% an Elektroden beim Schweißen feuerverzinkter Stahlbleche einsparen. Auf dem zweiten Weg wird nachgewiesen, dass die Standard-CuCr1Zr-Legierung verbessert werden kann. Bereits mit geringsten Gefüge-Modifikationen lassen sich ein gutmütigeres Verschleißverhalten, eine größere Standmenge und ein charakteristischeres Standmengenende erzielen. Der dritte Weg beleuchtet dispersionsgehärtete Elektrodenkappen. Solche sind nicht neu, aber wurden in den 2000er Jahren weiterentwickelt. Ihr nun verfügbares Potential erlaubt gegenüber der ersten Betrachtung einen bis zu 95% verringerten Elektroden-Bedarf an feuerverzinkten Blechen. Abschließend formuliert der vierte Weg eine zukunftsweisende Möglichkeit die Standmenge dynamisch der real verfügbaren Standmenge anzupassen. Dieser Ansatz erlaubt einerseits Haftpflichtrisiken an mathematisches Vorgehen zu überantworten und andererseits das Werkstoffpotential vollständig zu nutzen. Da Streubreiten der realen Standmengengrenzen bei bis zu 40% liegen, ist eine entsprechende Einsparung an Kupfer erreichbar. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird dazu der Ansatz verfolgt den Punktdurchmesser aus typischen Prozessgrößen mittels Data Mining zu bestimmen. Das fertigungsnahe Qualitätsband von +/-10% Punktdurchmesser kann basierend auf einem mathematisch transparenten Modell mit über 93% Wahrscheinlichkeit korrekt berechnet werden.

Wear prediction of piston/cylinder pair in axial piston pumpLyu, Fei, Zhang, Junhui, Xu, Bing 25 June 2020 (has links)
The piston/cylinder pair is the key lubricating interface of axial piston pumps. It suffers from excessive wear due to the huge lateral force, especially under high output pressure. In order to achieve predictive maintenance, it is significant to detect the performance degradation of the piston/cylinder pair. In this paper, a method to predict the wear of the piston/cylinder pair is proposed. The wear regions and corresponding wear depths under different conditions are investigated. The distributive characteristic parameters of the oil film are obtained, which can reflect the load-bearing and lubrication conditions at each region of the friction pair. Based on the oil film characteristic parameters, the most suitable wear model is chosen to calculate the wear depth, and then the entire wear profile of the piston/cylinder pair is obtained. The experimental investigation is carried out, and the results show that the accuracy of the wear regions and corresponding wear depth prediction is high. This method can be used to pump healthy management and choose the suitable working conditions of the axial piston pump.

PREVENTION OF WHEEL WEAR, A CASE STUDY : Developing a functioning wheel profile for rail-mounted transportation trolley.Inglot, Agnieszka, Franzén, Oskar January 2019 (has links)
This bachelor’s degree project aimed to improve the wheel profile of a rail mounted trolley and determine the cause of wheel failure. The proceedings of this project where modelled after an approach for solving wear problems with an emphasis on designing for sustainability. A case study and root cause analysis (RCA) was performed and the flanged wheels were deemed insufficient for the given heavy-haul system. Possible areas of wheel profile improvement were identified and further researched with multiple literature reviews. Throughout the projects duration several limitations were introduced that reduced the concept testing to exclusively theoretical prediction models. Archard’s model was implemented to predict wear and operating time for the proposed material and wheel tread profile concepts. The wheel flange dimensions were chosen based on recommendations from wheel and rail interference handbooks among other sources. The final wheel and rail profile suggestion improved operating time by approximately 300% and wear resistance by 50% compared to its predecessor. This result was achieved by applying the same theoretical prediction model to both current and suggested profiles. The findings of this project are meant to aid SCA among others in similar cases and additionally highlight the value of product improvement from a technological, sociological, and environmental perspective.
