Experimental investigation of the deep drawing parameters of stainless-steel wire mesh structures

Abstract

The increasing use of wire mesh structures in industrial applications has led to a surge of interest in the forming methods of these materials. This paper investigates the practicality of the deep drawing method in shaping wire mesh structures with different weaving types and meshes. The study found that the forming ability of wire meshes with twill weave type is superior to that of plain weaves, and the setting direction directly affects the forming quality. Increasing mesh was found to decrease the formability of the material. Furthermore, experiments with different punch geometries revealed that circular punches with a 5 mm tip radius yielded superior forming performance compared to square and small radius punches. Additionally, it was observed that geometric forms added to the blank holder negatively affected the forming of wire mesh textures, and the forming ability decreased with increasing drawing depth.

Paslanmaz çelik tel örgü yapıların derin çekme parametrelerinin deneysel incelemesi

Öz

Endüstriyel uygulamalarda tel örgü yapıların kullanımı artmaktadır, dolayısıyla bu tür yapıların şekillendirme yöntemlerine olan ilginin artmasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışma, farklı dokuma türleri ve sıklığına sahip tel örgü yapıların şekillendirilmesinde derin çekme yönteminin uygulanabilirliğini incelemektedir. Çalışma, dimi dokuma türü tel örgülerin şekillendirme kabiliyetinin düz dokumalardan daha üstün olduğunu ve kesme yönünün şekillendirme kalitesini doğrudan etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Dokuma sıklığının artmasının malzemenin şekillendirilebilirliğini azalttığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, farklı zımba geometrileriyle yapılan deneyler, 5 mm uç yarıçaplı dairesel zımbaların kare ve küçük yarıçaplı zımbalara kıyasla üstün şekillendirme performansı gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Ek olarak, baskı plakasına eklenen geometrik formların tel örgü dokularının şekillendirilmesini olumsuz etkilediği ve şekillendirme kabiliyetinin çekme derinliğinin artmasıyla azaldığı gözlemlenmiştir.
