what are the specific requirements for precision machinery parts processing?




1. Material Strength and Durability

One of the key requirements of precision machinery parts processing is material strength and durability.Machinery parts often undergo significant stress and pressure during operation, and the selected materials must be able to withstand these forces without deforming or breaking.For example, aerospace components require materials with high strength-to-weight ratios, such as titanium alloys, to ensure structural integrity and reliability.

2. Dimensional Stability

Precision machinery parts must maintain their dimensional stability even under extreme operating conditions.The materials used in their processing should possess low thermal expansion coefficients, allowing the parts to retain their shape and size without warping or distorting due to temperature fluctuations.Steels with low thermal expansion coefficients, such as tool steel or stainless steel, are commonly preferred for precision machinery parts subjected to varying thermal conditions.

3.Wear and Corrosion Resistance

Precision machinery parts often interact with other components or environments that can cause wear and corrosion.The materials chosen for their processing should exhibit excellent wear resistance to withstand constant friction and minimize surface damage.Additionally, corrosion resistance is crucial to ensure the longevity of the parts, especially in industries where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or harsh environments is common.Materials such as hardened steel, stainless steel, or certain grades of aluminum alloys are frequently utilized to enhance wear and corrosion resistance.

4.Machinability

Efficient and precise machining is a critical factor in the manufacturing of precision machinery parts.The material selected for processing should possess good machinability, allowing it to be easily cut, drilled, or shaped into the desired form with minimal tool wear.Materials like aluminum alloys with excellent machinability properties are often preferred for their versatility and ease of shaping into complex geometries.

5.Thermal Conductivity

Thermal management is significant in precision machinery parts processing, as excessive heat can adversely affect performance and increase the risk of failure.Materials with high thermal conductivity, such as copper alloys or certain grades of aluminum, help dissipate heat efficiently, preventing localized temperature rise and ensuring optimal operating conditions.

6.Cost-Effectiveness

While meeting the specific requirements is crucial, cost-effectiveness is also an important consideration in precision machinery parts processing.The selected materials should strike a balance between performance and cost, ensuring that the final product remains economically viable without compromising quality.Conducting a cost-benefit analysis and considering factors like material availability, processing complexity, and overall project budget can aid in making informed decisions regarding material selection.

reasons why stainless steel material affects the machining accuracy of parts



Precision parts processed with stainless steel have the advantages of corrosion resistance, long service life and good mechanical and dimensional stability, and austenitic stainless steel precision parts have been widely used in medical, instrumentation and other precision machinery fields.



The reasons why stainless steel material affects the machining accuracy of parts

The exceptional strength of stainless steel, coupled with its impressive plasticity and noticeable work hardening phenomenon, result in a significant disparity in cutting force when compared to carbon steel. In fact, the cutting force required for stainless steel surpasses that of carbon steel by more than 25%.

At the same time, the thermal conductivity of stainless steel is only one-third of that of carbon steel, and the cutting process temperature is high, which makes the milling process deteriorate.

The growing machining hardening trend observed in stainless steel materials demands our serious attention. During milling, the intermittent cutting process leads to excessive impact and vibration, resulting in substantial wear and collapse of the milling cutter. Furthermore, the use of small-diameter end milling cutters poses a higher risk of breakage. Significantly, the decrease in tool durability during the milling process adversely affects the surface roughness and dimensional accuracy of precision parts machined from stainless steel materials, rendering them unable to meet the required standards.

Stainless steel precision parts processing precision solutions

In the past, traditional machine tools had limited success in machining stainless steel parts, particularly when it came to small precision components. This posed a major challenge for manufacturers. However, the emergence of CNC machining technology has revolutionized the machining process. With the aid of advanced ceramic and alloy coating tools, CNC machining has successfully taken on the complex task of processing numerous stainless steel precision parts. This breakthrough has not only improved the machining accuracy of stainless steel components but has also significantly enhanced the efficiency of the process. As a result, manufacturers can now rely on CNC machining to achieve precise and efficient production of stainless steel precision parts.

Breaking in a new car isn't the same as it was just a few short years ago.As recently as a decade ago, manufacturers recommended new drivers follow certain driving patterns to "break in" a new car. The old lessons don't quite hold true today, though.The old guidelines typically told new-car owners to follow a set of instructions over the hundred miles or so, in order to break in their new vehicles engine. These guidelines included such things as driving at 50 mph for a designated amount of time, followed by varying speeds on back roads, and sitting and idling for a time. After going through this process, the driver was instructed to shut off the engine and let it cool down before driving it again.Why go through this process? To establish new internal mating surfaces of mechanical parts, to seat new piston rings, to establish new seal surfaces, to condition new mechanical parts--to make sure all the moving parts were working together as smoothly as possible. After the break-in period, which lasted for about 100 miles or more on average, the vehicle could be driven without concern. Do you still have to break in a new vehicle today? In a word, no. Lubricants and engine oil have come a long way, compared to the products of old; they protect metal parts much better than their predecessors. In addition, the steel and aluminum used for engine parts come from the factory already conditioned and treated, thus ready to run.The only caveat comes with that first oil change. Make sure you change your new car's oil and filter for the first time at 1500 miles unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer. The reason? Metal has worn off while mating surfaces were established, and those metal scraps need to be removed from the engine before they cause long-term damage. How often should the oil be changed? Carmakers publish a maintenance schedule in the owners manual, and many outfit new cars with oil-life monitors that are very precise. Make sure you know both, and to keep a decal in the windshield to remind you of the mileage at the last change.Note that there are two service schedules compiled for new passenger cars: Normal and Severe. Manufacturers define them differently, but in essence, normal covers a wider range of operation, while severe can include lots of short-distance commuting. Be realistic about which conditions apply to your vehicle.Finally, while you're breaking in a new car, consider changing over to synthetic motor oil at the time of the first oil and filter change, to maximize engine life and decrease internal wear. Check your owners manual first before changing over, just to make sure there are no caveats from the carmaker on the use of synthetic motor oil--and make sure to use high-quality synthetic oil when you do change.___________________________________________Follow The Car Connection on Facebook, Twitter and Google.Hear Tom's nightly radio show, America's Car Show After Dark, Mon - Fri 8P - 11P EST on TuneIn.

At least 25 per cent of the plastics used in new Volvo car models from 2025 will be from recycled materials, the Chinese-owned company said on Monday in an anti-pollution plan praised by the United Nations.Recycled plastics - such as from fishing nets or old bottles in car dashboards or carpets, would not affect safety or quality, Stuart Templar, director for sustainability at Volvo Cars, told Reuters."We think this makes business sense," he said.Environmentalists 'encouraged' by G7 plastics charter but urge more actionMany big companies are designing products that can be recycled after use to limit pollution. Volvo's plan goes a step further by building ever more recycled materials into its production lines."Volvo Cars is committed to minimising its global environmental footprint," Hkan Samuelsson, president and CEO of Volvo Cars, which is owned by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd, said in a statement.Volvo said it was in talks with plastics producers to achieve its "ambition that from 2025, at least 25 per cent of the plastics used in every newly launched Volvo car will be made from recycled material."Volvo sold 570,000 cars last year, with about five per cent of plastics in its cars currently made from recycled materials.Volvo unveiled a test model of its XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid SUV in Gothenburg, Sweden, that it said looks identical to the existing car except that some of its plastic parts were made from recycled materials.Industry wants zero plastic packaging in Canada's landfills by 2040The carpet, for instance, had fibres made from PET plastic bottles, old Volvo car seats were used in sound-absorbing material under the bonnet and fishing nets and ropes were used in the tunnel console - between the passenger and driver seats.The United Nations welcomed Volvo's plan. More than eight million tonnes of plastics end up in the oceans every year, threatening marine life from fish stocks to coral reefs."As far as we are aware this is a first an attempt to source waste as a raw material for a new vehicle," Erik Solheim, head of the UN Environment Programme in Nairobi, told Reuters."We need to see a situation in which plastic waste begins to have more value and the processes to transform it into something new will also advance," he said.'We need to rethink the entire plastics industry': Why banning plastic straws isn't enoughIn 2017, Volvo said that it would electrify all new cars launched after 2019. Last month it said its aim was that fully electric cars would make up half of its global sales by 2025.

DETROIT-Executives from four auto parts companies said Tuesday that they don't expect widespread fallout from a shortage of a key ingredient in plastic resin following a factory explosion.Officials with Delphi Automotive, Illinois Tool Works, AK Steel and Parker Hannifin said during conference calls to discuss their companies' earnings that a shortage of PA-12 shouldn't disrupt their operations.Automakers and parts companies have been scrambling to find substitutes since a factory in Germany that makes much of the world's supply of the ingredient suspended production after it exploded in March.The resin is used in hundreds of parts. It's most critical in fuel and brake lines because it can carry gasoline and other fluids without deteriorating.Companies that make fuel lines, brake lines and connectors have been worried they will run out of PA-12 and they may have to stop shipments to automakers and larger parts suppliers. One key fuel line maker, TI Automotive, warned last week that the auto production interruptions are likely in the next few weeks. TI and a trade group of suppliers held an industrywide meeting last week to look at the remaining supply of PA-12 and encourage faster testing of alternatives.But Rodney O'Neal, CEO of Delphi, one of the largest parts suppliers, said he sees little impact on Delphi or auto production."I don't see this as a crisis in terms of tremendous downtime at all for anyone around the world," O'Neal said. He said the auto industry is addressing the problem quickly and with flexibility.Delphi, a Troy, Mich., supplier of audio systems, fuel pumps, wiring connectors and other items, uses PA-12 in a small number of parts and has lined up substitutes, O'Neal said."We believe there's enough inventory in the channel right now to handle this," John Brooklier, vice president of investor relations for Illinois Tool Works, told investors on a separate call Tuesday. He said the Glenview, Ill., maker of metal and plastic parts such as door handles uses little PA-12 but is watching the impact on auto companies.At AK Steel, CEO James Wainscott said customers are telling the company that any shortage is likely to be a challenge mostly for European automakers in the U.S.The West Chester, Ohio, company, he said, was concerned about the problem until the last day or so."There may be some trickle-lower effect here, but we don't look for that to be a great concern," Wainscott told investors.Automakers say the issue hasn't interrupted production thus far. The shortage was caused by a March 31 explosion at Evonik Industries' plant. The factory supplied at least a quarter of the world's PA-12, and about 70 percent of a chemical that's used by other companies to make resin. Evonik has said the plant will be out of operation for at least three months.At Parker Hannifin, a maker of valves, filters, pumps and hoses, CEO Donald Washkewicz said his company isn't in the fuel line business but does use PA-12, also known as nylon-12, in air brake tubing and other parts. The Cleveland-based company, he said, has been using alternate materials."We're able to keep our customers out of trouble," Washkewicz said.But Washkewicz said the shortage could drive up the cost of raw materials used to make plastic parts.Few plastics can do what PA-12 does. The chemical doesn't absorb as much moisture as other plastics and will stand up to carrying gasoline, brake fluid and other hydrocarbon liquids. Sadhan Jana, a professor of polymer engineering at the University of Akron in Ohio, said he knows of no other plastic as as durable as PA-12.Any substitute would have to go through rigorous testing to make sure it would work for a specific automotive part, Jana says. Those tests could take months.Automakers and suppliers are close to agreeing on a fast-track process for testing replacements.The Automotive Industry Action Group, a nonprofit trade group, said Monday that General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co., Chrysler Group, Honda Motor Co., Hyundai-Kia, Volkswagen AG and their suppliers, are expected to finalize new testing standards next week. The agreement would reduce the interim approval process for new materials to three weeks from the current eight weeks or longer.AIAG said the group feels confident it can shorten the testing time because alternative resins are already well known and previous testing has accurately predicted real-world performance.

Plastic parts are produced through a process known as custom plastic extraction. This is a manufacturing process where raw plastic materials are melted down and formed into the desired plastic parts. Before you choose a manufacturer for your custom parts, you must consider things like capabilities and production capacitates because they can vary greatly from one manufacturer to the other. Here are some of the factors you should consider.
Strategic Plan You should consider whether or not you are looking for a long term relationship. You need to locate a good cultural and strategic fit. Do your due diligence and take your time in uncovering a manufacturers professional reputation in that industry. During your research, don't just look at the positive reviews to determine how good they are, look for the red flags and see how bad things can get.

The Process Type Different manufacturers use different manufacturing processes that include extrusion, co-extrusion, tri-extrusion as well as crosshead extrusion coatings.

The Plastic Materials The plastic extrusion materials are used in different applications and each of them has their unique properties. One of the most important aspects of hiring a manufacturer is considering the extrusion materials they use for the custom parts. You have to be sure that the parts will be manufactured successfully and will perform as properly as is expected. In case you are not sure about the kind of plastic extrusion materials that would be best for your parts, an engineer can assist you in that area. There are also numerous grade types for the extrudable materials so you should choose a company that can produce the grade you need.

Capabilities If you have a significant production volume requirement, it is essential to know the production capabilities of the manufacturer. The manufacturer should also be able to provide you with extensive capabilities in terms of the design, tooling and fabrication. With these plastic extrusion capabilities, a manufacturer is able to produce high quality custom parts that meet the requirements of their customers. The finishes should be considered as well as they could be matt, glossy or textured. That means your custom plastic parts manufacturer should know about the latest finishes in the market.

Tooling Custom plastic extrusion needs tooling, which is a lot cheaper compared to injection molding. A quality extrusion manufactures ought to offer you state of the art tooling capabilities. They should have an experienced team that designs, engineers and tests all tooling. This will improve productivity, efficiency, safety and reduce costs.

Customer Service When working with any manufacturer, the process will become easier if they have working customer services that communicate effectively. A great manufacturing company is determined by the quality of customer services they offer. If for instance you have any last minute requests or want to change your order, you need to know that someone will be there to attend to you and support you. This will be more important if you are looking for a long term relationship. For it to be successful custom plastic parts manufacturer there needs to be helpful and pleasant customer service.

Conclusion You must consider these things when you are looking for the right manufacturer. As long as you evaluate their previous work and ensure they can provide you with all your requirements at a reasonable price, you will find a good company to work with.
