Carbide spinning wheels are mainly used in metal spinning processes. The following are some of its specific applications:
When manufacturing thin-walled metal tubes (such as stainless steel thin-walled tubes, aluminum alloy thin-walled tubes, etc.), the spinning wheel is used to spin the tube blank to reduce its wall thickness and achieve the required dimensional accuracy. Carbide spinning wheels have high hardness and good wear resistance. In the process of continuously applying pressure to the tube to cause plastic deformation, they can maintain good shape accuracy and are not prone to surface quality problems caused by wear. They help to produce high-quality thin-walled tubes with smooth surfaces and uniform wall thickness. They are widely used in the demand for lightweight and high-performance tubes in the aerospace field, as well as the manufacture of some precision thin-diameter thin-walled tubes in the medical device industry.
For some non-circular cross-section special-shaped tubes, such as elliptical tubes and rectangular tubes, carbide spinning wheels can be used to gradually perform local extrusion, rolling and other spinning actions on the tube blank according to the preset trajectory and process parameters to change the shape of the tube and gradually form the required special-shaped structure. Because special-shaped pipes have special advantages in structural strength and fluid conveying characteristics, they are widely used in automobile exhaust systems (partially using special-shaped structures to optimize spatial layout and exhaust performance), architectural decoration industry (special-shaped pipes are used for unique decorative components), etc., and carbide spinning wheels can well meet the requirements of this complex forming process.
In the manufacture of pressure vessels, boilers and other equipment, a large number of head parts (such as hemispherical, elliptical, and dish-shaped heads) are required. The metal sheet blank is driven by the carbide spinning wheelthrough the spinning equipment, and the sheet blank is spun according to a certain rotation trajectory, so that it gradually changes from a flat plate to a head shape that meets the requirements. Thecarbide wheel can withstand greater pressure and can effectively ensure the surface flatness and shape accuracy of the head during the forming process. It is crucial to ensure the sealing, pressure resistance and other properties of equipment such as pressure vessels. For example, the head production of various large storage tanks and reactors in the petrochemical industry cannot do without it.
In short, carbide spinning wheels play a key role in many metal plastic processing fields, especially in the manufacture of parts and structures with high requirements for shape accuracy and surface quality, due to their high hardness, high wear resistance and good compressive strength.
