Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion: Machining Guide
The coefficient of linear thermal expansion helps shops anticipate thermal growth in parts, tools, and holders so they can protect tolerance, fit, and process stability.
Shrink-Fit Toolholder Fundamentals for CNC Shops
Shrink-fit toolholders can improve grip, balance, and reach, but only when shops manage the full heating, handling, and runout routine correctly.
Explosive deburring ideal for complex parts
Machining manifolds generates numerous burrs, and removing them is no simple task. Basin Precision Machining attempted a variety of deburring methods, including waterjet, kinetic energy and the thermal energy method (TEM).
Using temperature models: General Industry Coverage
A good thermal model can help minimize cycle time and burn risk, but according to The Grinding Doc making one is not easy.
Increase feed rate or depth of cut?
The Grinding Doc says it depends on what your biggest issue is: thermal damage, chatter or excessive wheel wear
Correcting thermal errors: Turning Performance
Machine Technology column for December 2009 issue.
Safeguarding Spindles: General Industry Coverage
Parts manufacturers can keep chips flying and maintain part accuracy by protecting their spindles against misuse, thermal expansion, collisions and penetration by coolant and metallic dust.
Burn Awareness: General Industry Coverage
Grinding burn is a general term used to describe various types of thermal damage that occur to the workpiece during grinding.
EDM Conquers Copper: Settings and Electrode Guide
Copper can be difficult to EDM because its thermal conductivity changes electrode wear and process behavior. This guide covers the settings and strategy shops should review first.
Shrink-Fit Toolholding
A toolholder that uses metal's natural thermal expansion and contraction to hold tools does not suffer from many of the drawbacks of other toolholding mechanisms, according to this article. In addition to outlining the benefits of this "shrink-fit" toolholding system, the article also explains the technology and describes how shops have benefited from it.
Factors affecting proper coolant application when grinding
Grinding is a thermally dominated process, meaning a high percentage of process heat initially enters the part before coolant quenches it. Unless the coolant is applied at the correct flow rate and pressure, and the proper input conditions are selected, this process can lead to undesirable rehardening burn, thermal softening and tensile residual stresses.
The contours of a robotic 3D-printing platform
Arevo Labs hopes its new RAMP leads to better 3D-printed componets for the defense and aerospace industries. Arevo touts RAMP (Robot-based Additive Manufacturing Platform) as the first system of its kind optimized for 3D printing of composite thermoplastic parts. The system includes a 6-axis robot arm and end-effector hardware for deposition.
