Thread processing method

There are two methods of machining out internal thread and external thread on the work piece, respectively are cutting processing and rolling processing.

Cutting processing method: thread cutting, generally refers to with forming cutting tool or grinding on the work piece machining thread method, mainly include the turning, milling, tapping, mantle fiber, grinding etc.

1, thread turning, turning thread on a lathe can use forming tool or chaser. By forming tool turning thread, due to its cutting tool structure is simple, is only suitable for single piece and small batch production of thread work piece; With chaser turning thread, high production efficiency, but its cutting tool structure is complex, and only applicable to middle and mass production turning teeth short thread artifacts.

2, thread milling, in the thread milling machine by disc cutter or comb milling cutter for milling. Disc cutter is mainly used for milling screw rod, worm and other artifacts on the trapezoidal external thread; Comb milling cutter for milling ordinary internal, external threads and taper thread, is appropriate for batch production general accuracy thread work piece.

3, thread grinding, use cast iron etc. softer material to make nut type or screw rod type thread tool, proceed forward and reverse rotation grinding of work piece have been processed thread exists screw pitch error part, in order to improve the accuracy of screw pitch.

4, tapping, it is to use a certain distance to tap screwing in the work piece on the preboring in the bottom hole machining internal thread. Mantle fiber, use threading die cut-out external thread at barstock (or pipe material) work piece. It is suitable for machining small diameter internal thread. Tapping and mantle fiber can use manual operation, also can use lathe, drilling machine, tapping machine and diehead threading machine.

Rolling processing method: screw thread rolling, use forming rolling mould make work piece produce plastic deformation for the thread processing method. This processing method has the advantage that its surface roughness is less than the cutting way of thread.

Machine tool part material selection

Machine tool has variety of parts, according to the structural characteristic, function and the load characteristic, can be divided into shaft part, gear part, machine tool guide rail, etc. And the different parts used materials will be different, so have to be very cautious on select material.

Machine tool shaft part material selection

Machine tool spindle is the most main shaft parts in machine tool, but because machine tool type is different, main shaft working condition is also different. According to the load size and type of the main shaft while working, generally can be divided into four categories:

(1) Light load main shaft. Working load is small, the impact load is not big, shaft neck without serious wear and tear. Such as ordinary lathe main shaft, this shaft is generally made of 45 steel.

(2) Medium load main shaft. Medium load, serious wear and tear, and have certain impact load. Such as milling machine main shaft, is commonly made of alloy hardened and tempered steel, such as 40 Cr steel.

(3) Heavy load main shaft. Working load is big, wear and impact are more serious. For example, the work load is big combination machine main shaft. It is commonly made of 20CrMnTi steel.

(4) High precision main shaft. Some machine tool main shaft working load is small, but the accuracy demand is very high, so the choice of material deformation should be minimal after heat treatment, in work process wear should be very mild. For example, the precision boring machine main shaft, is commonly made of 38CrMoAlA dedicated nitriding steel.

Machine tool gear part material selection

(1) Light load gear. Rotation speed is generally not high, mostly made of 45 steel.

(2) Medium load gear. It is commonly made of 45 steel. And large size gear, is made of 40 Cr etc. alloy hardened and tempered steel. For example, the machine tool gear of driving system and feeding system.

(3) Heavy load gear. For some large working load, especially in high speed and large impact load most of the gear are made of 20Cr、20CrMnTi etc. carburizing steel. For example: some important drive gear of transmission.

Machine tool guide rail material selection

The accuracy of machine tool guide rail affects the precision of the whole machine tool, so the machine tool guide rail is usually made of grey cast iron, because grey cast iron is not easy to deformation and wear, and it is under the condition of lubrication abrasion resistance is better.

High speed steel introduction

High speed steel is a kind of high hardness, high wear resistance and high heat resistance of tool steel, during quenching even if cooled in the air can also hardened, so also called high speed tool steel or rapid steel. High speed steel process performance is good, strength and toughness cooperate with good, therefore are mainly used for manufacturing complex thin blade and impact resistance of the metal cutting tool, also can make high temperature bearing and cold extrusion dies, etc.

High speed steel heat treatment process is relatively complex, must after annealing, quenching, tempering and so on a series of process. High speed steel normally uses electric furnace production, once adopted powder metallurgy method manufacturing high speed steel, make the carbide are extremely tiny particles evenly distributed on the base, improve the service life.

High speed steel is generally not doing tensile strength test, and give priority to with metallography, hardness test. High speed steel will not be obvious decarburization, high speed steel carbide is very uniform, high speed steel is made of cutting tool, in addition to because it has high hardness, high wear resistance and toughness enough, there is a very important factor is it has a red hardness. (Red hardness refers to the cutting tool in high speed cutting, the blade in the red state’s ability to resist softening).

According to the different purposes of high speed steel, can be divided into two kinds of universal and special purposes. Universal high speed steel: mainly used in the manufacture cutting hardness HB 300 or less metal material cutting tool such as drill, tap, blade, and precision cutting tool such as gear hob, pinion cutter, broach, etc. Special purpose high speed steel: including cobalt high speed steel and superhard high speed steel, mainly used in the manufacture cutting difficult-to-machine metal such as high temperature alloy, titanium alloy and high strength steel, etc, cutter.
