problem:
Slug Lifting and Cutting Clearance Corrections
Cold-Welding
Cutting-Edges Blunting
solution:
wocafix the matrix
wocafix outside of the punch
wocafix faces of punch and matrix
| Defects: | Punching burrs, punching off - cuts rise up |
| Coating: | All die apertures |
| Refinishing: | none |
| Result: | Punching burrs removed, off - cuts remain in die |
| Service life: | Increased to 220% |
| Defects: | Cold welding on bending jaws, cut - offs rise up |
| Coating: | Bending jaws radii and die apertures |
| Refinishing: | Light repolishing of bending jaws |
| Result: | Clean bending parts, cold welding and rising up of cut - offs avoided |
| Service life: | Increased to 280% |
| Defects: | Cold welding and cracking of the material |
| Coating: | Bending radii and embossing contours |
| Refinishing: | Repolishing of radii and contours |
| Result: | Material flows better, no more cracking and cold welding |
| Service life: | Increased to 650% |
| Problem: | Corrosion on drawing die, poor flow |
| Coating: | Radius on drawing ring |
| Refinishing: | Fine polishing of radius |
| Result: | Corrosion eliminated, material flows better, cleaner surface |
| Service life: | Increased to 530% |
| Defects: | Sticking and cracking open of material |
| Coating: | Die aperture |
| Refinishing: | Light refiling with diamond file |
| Result: | Even flow of material, less pressure, no alteration in size when cleaning |
| Service life: | Increased to 750% |
| Defects: | Corroded stamping radius, material sticking |
| Coating: | Stamping radius and drawing edge |
| Refinishing: | Fine lap coating |
| Result: | Corrosion and sticking avoided, better flow of material |
| Service life: | Increased to 600% |
| Defects: | Abrasion of the edges and extrusion points |
| Coating: | Extrusion channels and mold edges |
| Refinishing: | Smooth edges with diamond file |
| Result: | Good injection, edge strength |
| Service life: | Increased to 250% |
| Defects: | Erosion of injection channel and surface |
| Coating: | Injection channel and surface |
| Refinishing: | Light polishing |
| Result: | Erosion avoided, as also spraying - on point |
| Service life: | Increased to 300% |
| Defects: | Wearing of edges and breaking of the die |
| Coating: | head and aperture |
| Refinishing: | none |
| Result: | Better ejection, less wearing of the edges and consequently no breaking |
| Service life: | Increased to 480% |
| Defects: | Intense wearing leading to undersize |
| Coating: | Plain grinding - bevel |
| Refinishing: | lap in drilling or grind to size |
| Result: | True - to - size again, abrasion - proof |
| Service life: | Increased to 650% |
