Drawing Dies

Diamond-coated drawing dies are considered as ideal drawing dies for their unique characteristics, such as high hardness, wear resistance and low friction. In order to optimize the parameters of diamond coated drawing dies, this study conducts a finite element method (FEM) simulation to calculate the von Mises stresses distribution on the interior-hole surfaces of diamond coated drawing die during the copper wire drawing process, and then refines the diamond coated drawing dies based on the simulation results. Furthermore, the drawing performance of the optimized diamond coated drawing die is examined in a real production of drawing copper wires, and the results show that its working lifetime increase by a factor of 12 comparing with the conventional tungsten carbide drawing die.

Clad Tube

A new preparation technique of carbon steel/stainless steel clad tube was introduced, and the contact surface was well combined. Meanwhile, with the using of tube heat exchanger, the experiment on the heat transfer performance of the clad tube was done. Comparing the 10/316 clad tube and the 316 stainless steel tube, the effects on the heat transfer performance of 316 stainless steel tube attached to carbon steel was evaluated. It is showed that overall heat transfer coefficient of 10/316 clad tubes is higher than that of stainless steel tube. The average heat transfer coefficient of 10/316 clad tubes is about 18.7%~34.4% higher than that of stainless steel tube. Experimental investigation indicates that, by brazing and cold drawing, the 10/316 clad tube was well combined and the thermal conductivity was better than that of stainless steel tube.

Sealing Materials

The goal of this master thesis is to realize and investigate leak tightness of joints produced by theelectromagnetic pulse (EMP) crimping process. This way of joining metals has gained more attention lately.With EMP welding, leak tight joints can already be achieved. However, the crimping process has somemajor advantages over EMP welding like the fact that more material combinations are possible and itrequires less energy. To realize the leak tightness, two kinds of sealing materials are used: O-rings andadhesives. The workpieces consist of an aluminium or stainless steel tube which is crimped on a solidaluminium mandrel with circumferential grooves in it. First, some preliminary tests are performed todetermine how much the tubes deform in the grooves. This deformation mainly depends on the appliedcharging voltage and the geometry of the groove. With this information, it is possible to estimate the amountof compression an O-ring would undergo when placed inside this groove. On other workpieces, adhesiveswill be applied. Several test procedures can be conducted on the parts to investigate leak tightness. Theresults of a helium test and a pressure burst test on the first test series conducted at the Walloon researchcentre CEWAC already showed that the use of O-rings can be effective.

In order to achieve the precision bending deformation, the effects of process parameters on springback behaviors should be clarified preliminarily. Taking the 21-6-9 high-strength stainless steel tube of 15.88 mm × 0.84 mm (outer diameter × wall thickness) as the objective, the multi-parameter sensitivity analysis and three-dimensional finite element numerical simulation are conducted to address the effects of process parameters on the springback behaviors in 21-6-9 high-strength stainless steel tube numerical control bending. The results show that (1) springback increases with the increasing of the clearance between tube and mandrel Cm, the friction coefficient between tube and mandrel fm, the friction coefficient between tube and bending die fb, or with the decreasing of the mandrel extension length e, while the springback first increases and then remains unchanged with the increasing of the clearance between tube and bending die Cb. (2) The sensitivity of springback radius to process parameters is larger than that of springback angle. And the sensitivity of springback to process parameters from high to low are e, Cb, Cm, fb and fm. (3) The variation rules of the cross section deformation after springback with different Cm, Cb, fm, fb and e are similar to that before springback. But under same process parameters, the relative difference of the most measurement section is more than 20% and some even more than 70% before and after springback, and a platform deforming characteristics of the cross section deformation is shown after springback.
