Frequently Asked Questions about Medium and Thick Plate Processing
FAQ
1. What is the maximum thickness of medium-thick plates? The maximum thickness of medium-thick plates depends on the type of material and the capabilities of the processing equipment. Generally speaking, the maximum thickness of medium and thick plates can reach tens of millimeters.
2. What issues should be paid attention to when cutting medium-thick plates? When cutting medium-thick plates, attention should be paid to selecting appropriate cutting tools and cutting speed to ensure smooth cutting and avoid cracks or deformation.
3. How to control the bending angle when bending medium-thick plates? Control bending # Processing methods of medium-thick plates
Medium-thick plates are a commonly used metal material and are widely used in construction , manufacturing and shipbuilding and other fields. In order to process medium and thick plates into the required shape and size, appropriate processing methods are required. This article will introduce some commonly used medium and thick plate processing methods, including cutting, bending, welding and drilling.
1. Cutting
Cutting is the process of dividing medium and thick plates into required sizes. Commonly used cutting methods include flame cutting, plasma cutting and laser cutting. Flame cutting is suitable for thicker medium-thick plates, and metal materials are cut into the desired shape through high-temperature flames. Plasma cutting and laser cutting are suitable for thinner and medium-thick plates and have the advantages of high precision and efficiency.
2. Bending
Bending is the process of bending medium and thick plates into the required shape. Commonly used bending methods include mechanical bending and hydraulic bending. Mechanical bending is suitable for smaller medium and thick plates, and the metal material is bent into the desired angle through mechanical force. Hydraulic bending is suitable for larger medium and thick plates, using hydraulic force to bend metal materials into the desired shape.
3. Welding
Welding is the process of joining medium and thick plates together. Commonly used welding methods include arc welding, gas shielded welding and laser welding. Arc welding is suitable for thicker plates, where metal materials are melted and joined together by an electric arc. Gas shielded welding is suitable for thinner and medium-thick plates. Metal materials are welded into the required shape through gas shielding. Laser welding has the advantages of high precision and efficiency, and is suitable for smaller, medium-thick plates.
4. Drilling
Drilling is the process of making holes in medium-thick boards. Commonly used drilling methods include ordinary drilling and CNC drilling. Ordinary drilling is suitable for smaller hole diameters and lower accuracy requirements. The hole is drilled into the medium and thick plate by rotating the drill bit. CNC drilling is suitable for larger hole diameters and higher precision requirements. The CNC machine tool controls the movement of the drill bit to drill holes into medium and thick plates.
5. Other processing methods
In addition to the common processing methods mentioned above, there are some other processing methods for medium and thick plates. For example, stamping is to punch medium and thick plates into the required shape through a punching machine. Bending is to bend medium and thick plates into the desired shape. Shearing is the cutting of medium and thick plates to the required size. These processing methods are selected and used according to specific needs.
There are various processing methods for medium and thick plates, and it is very important to choose the appropriate processing method according to specific needs. Cutting, bending, welding and drilling are commonly used methods for processing medium and thick plates, while methods such as stamping, bending and shearing also have their specific application scenarios. Through reasonable selection and application of these processing methods, medium and thick plates can be processed into shapes and sizes that meet the requirements.
