Mechanical processing is a common processing method in the manufacturing industry, commonly used to manufacture various mechanical parts. The processes and technologies of mechanical processing include many types, and below will introduce some common processes and technologies.
1. Cutting processing
Cutting is the most commonly used machining method in mechanical processing. It removes a portion of the material from the workpiece by cutting it to obtain the desired shape and size. Common cutting processes include turning, milling, drilling, etc.
2. Grinding processing
Grinding processing is the process of using grinding tools to grind the surface of a workpiece in order to improve its accuracy and surface quality. Common grinding processes include flat grinding, cylindrical grinding, internal cylindrical grinding, etc.
3. Welding
Welding is a processing method that connects two or more workpieces together through a melting heat source. Common welding methods include arc welding, gas welding, laser welding, etc. Welding can make the connection of workpieces more secure and is widely used in the field of metal manufacturing.
4. Casting
Casting is the process of injecting molten metal or alloy into a mold to solidify and form the desired shape. Casting is an important process for manufacturing large, complex, and thin-walled parts. Common casting methods include die-casting, sand casting, and metal mold casting.
5. Stamping
Stamping is a process of processing metal sheets using a punch press. Stamping can cause deformation or separation of metal sheets under the action of molds, thereby obtaining the desired shape. Stamping is widely used in fields such as automobile manufacturing and home appliance manufacturing.
6. Laser cutting
Laser cutting is the use of high-energy laser beams to melt and vaporize materials on a workpiece, thereby cutting it into the desired shape. Laser cutting has the advantages of fast cutting speed and high precision, and is widely used in the cutting field of metal sheets.
7. Laser processing
Laser processing is a method of machining workpieces using high-energy density laser beams. Laser processing can achieve fine machining of workpieces, such as engraving, drilling, deburring, etc.
8. Electric discharge machining
Electric discharge machining is a machining method that uses the principle of electric discharge to form a corrosion pit on the surface of the workpiece, thereby achieving cutting of the workpiece. Electric discharge machining is widely used in the machining of hard materials and complex shaped parts.
9. Water jet cutting
Water jet cutting is a machining method that uses ultra-high pressure water flow and abrasive to cut workpieces. Water jet cutting has the advantages of no thermal impact and fast processing speed, and is widely used for cutting composite materials, stone and other materials.
Summary:
There are various types of processes and technologies in mechanical processing, and different processes and technologies are suitable for different processing needs. The above introduces some common processes and technologies in mechanical processing, which play an important role in manufacturing and provide effective processing methods for various mechanical parts.
