- Bronze (Copper-Tin Alloy)
- Cupronickel (Copper-Nickel Alloy)
Technical Difficulties and Considerations
CNC Punching Copper presents specific technical challenges and considerations that require careful attention to achieve optimal results. Some of the key points to consider are:
- Material Ductility: Copper is known for its high ductility, which can lead to material deformation during CNC punching. Adjusting cutting parameters, such as tool selection, feed rate, and cutting speed, is crucial to minimize burrs, tool wear, and material distortion.
- Heat Dissipation: Copper has excellent thermal conductivity, making heat dissipation a critical consideration during CNC punching. Implementing effective cooling strategies and choosing suitable coolants helps prevent heat buildup, ensuring dimensional accuracy and preserving the material’s properties.
- Tooling Evaluation: MetalPROc meticulously evaluates and selects specialized tooling for CNC punching copper. High-speed steel or carbide tooling with sharp cutting edges is preferred to achieve precise cuts while minimizing tool wear and ensuring high-quality copper components.
- Contamination Prevention: Copper is susceptible to contamination, including surface oxides and foreign particles. MetalPROc maintains a clean machining environment and uses appropriate lubrication techniques to minimize the risk of contamination, ensuring the integrity and quality of copper components.
