Influence of Process Parameters and Viscosity on Radial Stresses in Fluid Assisted Deep Drawing Process
Deep drawing is an important process used for producing cups from sheet metal in large quantities. The process parameters and viscosity of fluid is maintained the major role in the hydro forming-deep drawing process. Hydraulic pressure can enhance the capabilities of the basic deep drawing process for making metal cups. Hydraulic pressure contributes positively in several ways to the deep drawing process. In fluid assisted deep drawing process, applying the hydraulic pressure in radial direction on the periphery of the blank is obtained through the punch movement with in the fluid chamber. The fluid is taking place in the die cavity and punch chamber and these are connected with the bypass path provided in the die. The pressure is generated in fluid due to punch movement with in the fluid chamber and directed through the bypass path to blank periphery and is to reduce tensile stresses acting on the wall of the semi drawn blank. This fluid creates the fluid film on the upper and lower surfaces of the blank and subsequently reduces frictional resistance. During the process, the blank is taking at centre place in between blank holder and die surface with supporting of pressurized viscous fluid. In this process the radial and hoop stresses are produced in the blank due to punch force applied on it, the shear stresses acted by viscous fluid on the both sides of blank, so apply viscosity phenomenon to this analysis. The blank holder pressure is controlled by the radial pressure of fluid and these are equal for 1858 R. Uday Kumar, P. Ravinder Reddy and A. V. Sita Ramaraju uniform deformation of blank to obtained required shape and also elimination of failure of blank in deformation. The pressure in the die cavity can be controlled very freely and accurately, with the approximate liquid pressure as a function of punch position, the parts can drawn without any scratches on the outside of the part and also obtained in good surface finish, surface quality, high dimensional accuracy and complicated parts. In the fluid assisted deep drawing process the pressurized fluid serves several purposes are supports the sheet metal from the start to the end of the forming process, thus yielding a better formed part, delays the on set of material failure and reduces the wrinkles formation. In this paper the radial stresses are determined in terms of process parameters and viscosity of different fluids for magnesium alloys and then influence of viscosity of fluid, process parameters and fluid pressure on these stresses incorporated. This analysis is carried through theoretically.
AN APPRAISAL OF THE THEORY OF DEEP DRAWING
AbstractThe term “deep drawing” is generally understood to apply to the process of deforming sheet metal that is characterized by the use of a punch and a die, the sheet being drawn inwards and over the die profile by the advancing punch whilst the flange is controlled by moderate “blank-holding” pressure supplied by a suitably shaped blank-holder. Pressing, stretch-forming, beading, and embossing differ from deep drawing in that the edges of the material are generally prevented from being drawn in. This is achieved in the case of pressing either by the use of a very high blank-holding pressure or by the restraint of the large area of the flanges, by gripping the edge of the sheet in the case of stretch-forming, and by the large area of undeformed sheet in the case of beading and embossing. A general discussion of these and similar processes is given by Barlow.
Morphological characterization of Eustrongylides sp. larvae (Nematoda, Dioctophymatoidea) parasite of Rhinella marina (Amphibia: Bufonidae) from Eastern Amazonia.
Absctract Eustrongylides spp. nematodes have birds as final hosts and uses other vertebrates as intermediate/paratenic host (fish, amphibians and reptiles) and have zoonotic potential. In amphibians, the larvae may be located in the subcutaneous tissues, liver and mesentery, between the muscle fibres, especially in the lower limbs. Rhinella marina, which is widely observed in Brazil, has exhibited complex diversity in its helminth fauna, reflecting the unique habitat of the Amazon biome. For the first time, this study describes the morphological aspects of third-stage larvae of Eustrongylides sp. in Rhinella marina from Santa Cruz do Ararí, Marajó Archipelago, Eastern Amazonia, using light and scanning electron microscopy.
