钣金设计准则的DFM如何有效防范复杂弯曲零件生产中的物理干扰风险？

在批量生产复杂弯曲零件时，模具进入密闭空间造成的物理干扰会影响效率并导致零件报废。 钣金设计准则的DFM可以从源头上避免这种风险。

弯曲序列优化

弯曲顺序错误是造成干扰的主要原因。我们使用3D模拟软件来复制弯曲步骤，并设置理想的顺序从“内到外，小到大”，以消除模具和弯曲部件之间的碰撞。

结构设计优化

精心设计的设计可以减少干扰的可能性，同时提高产量。 我们采取的一些主要行动包括：

• 最小弯曲边缘限制：依托1.5t-2.0t标准（t=材料厚度），我们有自己的参数表，规定了不同厚度的各种材料的最小弯曲边缘尺寸，以防止弯曲或干扰。
• 工艺孔设计：将工艺孔放置在折弯相交处不仅可以消除应力集中，而且为成型工具提供足够的间隙。此外，这样干扰的可能性降低了90%，量产良率提高了35%。

钣金设计优化如何通过结构减重降低高端零部件的采购价格？

材料和加工时间极大地影响了购买高端 OEM 组件的成本。 钣金设计优化方案可以实现减重、降低成本，同时通过结构优化提高结构强度。

结构拓扑优化

这种方法的核心是减轻结构生产的重量和成本。我们将多部件焊接部件转换为一件式冲压和弯曲部件，从而减少焊接站的数量并减少材料浪费。

在被航空航天客户使用后，所用材料的百分比从 75% 上升到 92%，，尽管结构的稳定性进一步增强，但单位成本却下降了 18%。

加强筋设计

通过巧妙地设计加强筋，可以在不增加材料厚度的情况下使组件同时变得更坚固和更轻。 一些事实是：

• 增强强度：可将部件的弯曲强度提高30%，足以满足高端OEM所需的性能标准。
• Lowering Weight as Well as Cost: Capable of reducing weight by 15%, which has an immediate impact on lowering raw material cost and also the shortening of processing duration.
• Tailor made Optimization: Allowing customers to transparently calculate their use of materials and processing time, and hence, lowering their average unit procurement costs by 15%-25%.

How To Accurately Control Welding Stress During The Process Of Stainless Steel Fabrication Services To Prevent Component Warping?

During the welding of 304 and 316L stainless steel sheet metal, stress concentration happens quite easily, which causes the component to warp and change shape, the assembly won't be accurate anymore. It really is a major worry for OEM customers ordering stainless steel fabrication services.

Pulsed Laser Welding Process

The core method to managing the welding stress is pulsed laser welding. A minute change in parameters can bring a lesser stress level. The following is a detail:

1. Accurate control of the welding heat input between 80 and 120 J/mm can minimize the heat affected zone and reduce stress.
2. Experiments demonstrate that pulsed welding stress levels are less than 60% compared to traditional welding, thus preventing warping and deformation.
3. When heat input at 90J/mm, the weld penetration of 316L stainless steel was found to be 2.5mm with no major deformation.

Tooling and Weld Optimization

Through customized tooling and weld layout optimization, welding stress was released, ensuring component accuracy and stability. The measures are as follows:

1. Customized Tooling Fixtures: Components are fixed by their structure design during welding to make sure that the stress is released uniformly and that there is no excessive local stress.
2. Weld Layout Optimization: Through welding which is staggered and segmented, the flatness of long span thin plate components was controlled within 0.2mm/m, appearance and performance both were ensured.

LS Manufacturing Case Study: Developing High Vacuum Complex Sheet Metal Components Customized Components

At a high end OEM area, high vacuum cavity components are very difficult to be processed, the requirements for welding accuracy, bending consistency, and sealing being very strict. We accomplished to solve these problems of a semiconductor equipment customer and make a big improvement in the yield.

Customer Problems

When trying to make 316L high vacuum cavity complex sheet metal components, the original supplier of the customer failed to control the consistency of the bending inner radius.

So tiny cracks were found in welds, the helium leakage rate was very high above 110 Pam/s, and the yield of finished products was less than 65%. Besides, the company was wasting a lot of its raw materials, the delivery times were very long and the losses amounted to almost $150,000 per month.

LS 制造解决方案

• Firstly, we recalibrated the springback parameters of 316L stainless steel by carrying out a sheet metal design optimization. Based on the earlier material performance data, we reworked the bending process, meticulously maintaining the bending inner radius tolerance to 0.1mm so that the cavity joints could be sealed effectively.
• At the same time, we upgraded to robotic precision laser welding, keeping track of the welding thermal balance in real time and adjusting the welding heat input to a range of 80-100J/mm. Along with the use of customized tooling fixtures, this approach guaranteed that stress was uniformly released throughout multi point welding, thus avoiding micro cracks.
• Besides that, we rearranged the weld line layout and switched to staggered welding operation to further enhance weld sealing. Welding of all components was performed in accordance with ASTM A967 standards.

Results and Benefits:

Reworking the complex sheet metal components led to the vacuum sealing passing the test 100% of the time, with helium leakage at the level of 5×10⁻¹⁰ Pa·m³/s or less, which is so much better than the customer standards. Assembly tolerances were tightened from 0.3mm to 0.08mm so as to satisfy the assembly needs.

Due to those process changes, the customer managed to reduce the secondary grinding time by 30% and have a drop in processing cost per piece by 22%, thus making an annual saving of nearly $1.8 million and ensuring the project would be delivered on time.

常见问题解答

Q1: What is the smallest hole diameter to sheet thickness ratio made by LS Manufacturing precision sheet metal processing?

For custom sheet metal fabrication, precision fiber laser cutting is by far the most common method to ensure a 1:1 hole diameter to sheet thickness ratio. However, for some special materials, 0.8:1 ratio can be achieved and thus the requirements of most OEMs can be met.

Q2: How do you keep the positional tolerances of very large, complicated sheet metal parts?

A large CNC gantry CMM is utilized for 3D full size inspection together with the real time calibration by a laser tracker. The positional tolerance of critical mounting holes is limited to 0.15mm, therefore ensure the accuracy of assembly.

Q3: Do you add a charge for DFM (Design for Metal) sheet metal audits?

Absolutely not, DFM audits are part of the overall quotation process and no additional charges are levied for them. They help develop the most cost effective solutions and also avoid manufacturing risks in a proactive way.

Q4: Do you include electropolishing or passivation in your stainless steel fabrication services?

We provide pickling and passivation services according to ASTM A967, and also offer mirror electropolishing with a surface roughness value of Ra 0.2μm to meet different surface quality standards.

Q5: In case of precision metal prototyping orders with complex bending features, how do you manage those?

We have a separate prototyping workshop and a multi axis bending center. After full scale mold simulation, we get detailed control of the processes and therefore, can usually finish complex prototype orders in 3-5 working days while ensuring data integrity.

Q6: What is the reason for recommending sheet metal design optimization prior to mass production?

Along with increasing raw material utilization efficiency, design optimization in sheet metal also helps reduce the number of welding stations, shorten cycle time, enhance structural strength, and decrease long term procurement costs. All of the above contribute to the success of mass production.

Q7: Which type of QC Report do you provide for precision OEM components?

To ensure quality traceability, we supply a variety of test and inspection reports including MTR FAIR film thickness testing, salt spray testing reports, and third party non destructive testing reports.

Q8: Does precision sheet metal fabrication service support mixed material welding?

Sure, we do have dissimilar metal welding technology options. For instance, we can laser braze copper to stainless steel or aluminum to stainless steel in order to fulfill complex OEM design requirements.
