UNS Rolled Metals and Drawn Metals
Description
UNS Rolled Metals and Drawn Metals are processed materials that undergo specific manufacturing techniques to alter their physical properties. Rolled metals are typically processed by passing them through a series of rolls to reduce thickness and improve surface finish. Drawn metals, on the other hand, are formed by pulling the metal through a die to extend its length and achieve desired shapes.
Working Principle
Rolled metals work by reducing the material's thickness through a series of rolling operations, which can be performed at various temperatures. Cold rolling, for example, involves rolling the metal below its re-crystallization temperature, which enhances its tensile strength and hardness by introducing permanent defects in the crystalline structure . Drawn metals are formed by pulling the metal through a die, which extends the material without cracking it. This process involves multiple steps, each reducing the diameter and increasing the height or depth of the part, ensuring re-crystallization occurs as the metal changes shape .
Applications
Rolled metals are widely used in industries requiring materials with high yield strength and smooth surface finishes, such as in the production of steel and aluminum components . Drawn metals find applications in manufacturing products with complex geometries that are difficult to achieve through other methods. Specific examples include battery enclosures, implantable medical devices, and aerospace components .
Advantages over other Rolled Metals and Drawn Metals
Rolled metals offer the advantage of achieving very low tolerances and high surface finish quality, making them ideal for large production volumes due to their fast and continuous processing . Drawn metals are advantageous for their ability to produce strong, lightweight products with complex shapes, often requiring fewer operations and lower tool construction costs compared to other metalworking techniques .
Limitations
One limitation of cold rolling is the reduction in ductility, which can make the metal less malleable and more prone to cracking under certain conditions . Additionally, while drawing is effective for creating complex shapes, it may require multiple steps and careful control to prevent material failure during the process .
Considerations
When selecting rolled or drawn metals, considerations should include initial costs, which can vary based on the complexity of the process and the material used. Operating expenses may be influenced by the speed and efficiency of the production process. Durability and accuracy are generally high for both processes, but maintenance and replacement costs should be factored in, especially for tools and dies used in drawing operations. The choice between rolled and drawn metals should also consider the specific mechanical properties required, such as yield strength and tensile strength, to ensure the material meets the design specifications .
