Physical Features of The Process of Multi-operation Extraction of Cylindrical Parts From a Metal Mesh

Abstract

In modern mechanical engineering, a method of single-operation extraction of cylindrical parts from a metal grid with a square mesh is known, which, in particular, has found application for the manufacture of microphone casings. Further improvement of the technology of extracting parts from a metal mesh in the direction of increasing the relative height of the stamped part is associated with the use of a multi-operation method of extraction. The study of this process will allow to significantly reduce the limit coefficient of extraction and thereby significantly increase the relative height of the part. Therefore, the work aimed at improving the technology of manufacturing parts from a metal mesh due to the use of a multi-operation method of extraction is an urgent scientific and practical task. The purpose of the study is to improve the technology of manufacturing cylindrical parts from a metal mesh by using a multi-operation method of drawing. The result of the work is the study of physical limitations that determine the limiting coefficient of multi-operational extraction of cylindrical parts from a metal mesh. The phenomenon of elasticity of the mesh wires was revealed, as a result of which the side wall of the part acquires a curved, close to conical shape. The physical similarity between the process of deformation of a single wire of a metal mesh during multi-operation drawing and the process of bending a flat workpiece is shown, which allows determining the technological effort of each drawing operation using formulas for calculating the bending force. In addition, two forms of instability of the process of multi-operational drawing of cylindrical parts from a metal grid with a square mesh were revealed, and a new method of drawing was proposed, which creates such stamping conditions, in which asymmetric deformation of the part (irreparable defect) is not observed, and separate additional means for cutting the edge of the stamped parts are not used.
