We will delve into the technical intricacies, advantages, and considerations that make MetalPROc the ideal choice for CNC Punching Invar.
A Few Common Invar Materials or Invar Alloys
Invar is an iron-nickel alloy known for its low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it ideal for applications requiring dimensional stability. Some common Invar materials or alloys include:
- Invar 36: This is a widely used Invar alloy with approximately 36% nickel and 64% iron. It offers excellent dimensional stability over a wide temperature range.
- Super-Invar: Super-Invar is an enhanced version of Invar that contains additional elements, such as cobalt and manganese. It exhibits even lower thermal expansion and higher dimensional stability than Invar 36.
Technical Description:
CNC Punching Invar presents specific technical difficulties and considerations that require meticulous attention to achieve optimal results. Some key points to consider are:
- Material Hardness: Invar is a relatively soft material, and its low hardness can pose challenges during CNC Punching. Careful selection of tooling and appropriate machining parameters is crucial to prevent deformation or burr formation.
- Thermal Considerations: Invar’s low coefficient of thermal expansion can lead to heat buildup during the CNC Punching process. Proper cooling techniques and tool design are essential to manage heat dissipation and prevent damage to the material and the cutting tools.
