Advantage of Aluminum Turned Parts

Aluminum Turned Parts is one of many new processes for machining metal with less cutting pressure. It uses the plastic deformation of the metal beneath the action of external force to help make the metal volume redistributed and transferred through the die, in order to form the required parts or blank. Cold forging service is ideal for the non-standard components such as for instance bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, pins.

The gear commonly found in Aluminum Turned Parts is a special Turned Parts. If the production is not too large, workers can use a crank press or friction press instead.

The main advantage of Aluminum Turned Parts

Aluminum Turned Parts happens at room temperature. It can increase the mechanical properties of metal parts. The next table is the comparison of mechanical strength between Aluminum Turned Parts:

It can be seen from the table that the tensile strength of the bolt after Aluminum Turned Parts is about 10% higher than that of cutting, and some parts may also increase by 20%. The reason being the metal fiber of the cold upsetting product won't be take off and the inner structure of the metal is compacted, therefore the mechanical properties of the metal have been improved.

Aluminum Turned Parts can improve material utilization. Taking Aluminum Turned Parts for instance, the material utilization ratio of hexagon head bolt is significantly more than 99%. If machined, material utilization will soon be only 40%. The utilization ratio of cold forging nuts is about 80%, while that of cutting nuts is only 54%.

Aluminum Turned Parts can greatly improve productivity. As an example, in contrast to the initial cutting process, the productivity of cold forging nut is about 25 ~ 30 times higher.

The multi-station cold header is adopted to understand the simultaneous processing of every part on one machine tool, reducing the apparatus investment and transportation of semi-products in several processes. What's more, the cold forging services can help with reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving the working conditions.

Aluminum Turned Parts can improve surface finish and ensure product accuracy. General finish could be as much as V5. If there are special requirements, it can be as much as V6. For the mass production of bolts, nuts and so on, cold forging services can guarantee their precision.
