How To Cut Aluminum Sheet Metal
Aluminum alloys are widely used in all equipment, accessories, or machining on the market today. Like many cutting aluminum plates on the market, whether it is a storefront or some factories, a lot of attention is now paid to this piece. So what kind of saw blade should be used to cut aluminum plate?
A certain R sawing board company also found our company on the Internet, and the distance is very close. He just wanted to find a nearby supplier. Because the sheet metal fabrication of aluminum plates consumes a lot of saw blades, the period for grinding this piece is relatively short, and then the degree of cooperation is expected to be higher.
Then our business engineer went to the site to observe the sawing equipment they used and his working environment, and suggested that he use our special saw blade for aluminum plate. And according to its environmental requirements, add a micro-fuel injection device to him, which can improve the service life of his saw blade.
Many people do not know how to cut aluminum alloys to be qualified. Today, I will tell you how to cut aluminum alloys. I hope it can help you.
1. How To Cut Aluminum Alloy
When cutting aluminum alloy, we can use a cutting machine, and the saw blade can use a special cutting blade for aluminum alloy. We draw the cut part first, and then align the line for cutting, but this method is aimed at 10 Aluminium alloys with a thickness of millimeters or more. If the aluminum alloy at home is not particularly thick, but relatively thin, we can also use a small hacksaw to cut slowly.
How Does Wire Cutting Cut Aluminum?
- Use molybdenum wire and conductive block specially cut for aluminum – effective, cheap and affordable (effectively prevent molybdenum wire from being pinch-off, etc.)
- The ratio of tap water and water base is 1:100, only a little water base is needed – effective, water base must be used for cutting aluminum, and it should not be too concentrated
- Switch to copper wire cutting – ineffective, the copper wire is too soft, and it will loosen after a while (the cost is too high)
- Modify the filter system – effective, aluminum is sticky, contact the machine to open slowly, and amplify the water, generally no problem
- Apply some kerosene on the molybdenum wire – Effective, kerosene removes stains very well, the speed of water must be fast and large, cut for half an hour, stop and wipe the alumina on the molybdenum wire with a cloth
Use A Wire-Cutter Specially Designed To Cut Aluminum!
Faced with the continuous deepening and development of the application of wire cutting machine tools in the aluminum profile industry, in order to meet the special requirements of wire cutting machine tools for processing in various industries, Datie has developed wire cutting machine tools and discharge systems for different industries and processing materials.
According to the special requirements of aluminum profile processing for wire cutting machine tools, conductive blocks, guide wheels, molybdenum wires, cutting fluids, filter systems, and even machine tool control cabinets, etc. The first wire cutting machine in China that specializes in cutting aluminum profiles.
This new model specializing in cutting aluminum not only solves the problem of wire-cut aluminum profile cutting in processing, but also has a processing efficiency that is more than 20% faster than ordinary steel cutting! The masters of wire cutting processing no longer have to worry about the problem of wire cutting aluminum
Wire cutting of aluminum is different from other metal materials. It has many special requirements for wire cutting machine tools, conductive blocks, guide wheels, molybdenum wires, cutting fluids, filtration systems, and even machine tool control cabinets. In general, ordinary wire cutting machine tools have many special requirements. Aluminum cutting will encounter many problems, but unfortunately there is no professional wire cutting machine tool for aluminum cutting, and the masters of processing can only rely on their years of experience in electrical processing to sum up various folk remedies for wire cutting and cutting aluminum. It can be said that the Eight Immortals have crossed the sea and each shows their magical powers. Are these methods effective? Is there any better trick?
What Are The Precautions For The Use Of Aluminum Cutting Machine
- When we use this kind of machine for cutting, we must run it for one minute before construction to see if the machine can run normally. If it can run normally, then proceed to the next step. If there is a fault, it must be timely. make repairs.
- In the process of cutting, the staff must pay attention, not to look around, nor to play with the people next to them, this is likely to damage the aluminum material, which will also cut our own. Hands pose a great danger to themselves.
- In the process of cutting, you must wait until the speed of the saw blade is normal before cutting. The protective cover must be worn well, and you cannot place your hands within 15 cm of the saw blade. Only by controlling the distance of your hands can you ensure your own safety. .
- During the cutting process, the saw blade cannot be released before it stops, and the machine can be released after it stops.
- If there is smoke, heat, sparks, etc., during the operation of the machine, turn off the power immediately and repair it in time.
Thick aluminum plates cannot be cut by hand, and the effect of manual cutting is not good. Generally, it can be cut with a blade. Thicker ones can be cut with a shearing machine or a plasma cutter. If the shearing machine is used, it will be smoother and free of burrs. Aluminum plate refers to aluminum materials with a thickness of more than 0.2mm to less than 500mm, a width of more than 200mm, and a length of less than 16m called aluminum plates or aluminum sheets, aluminum materials less than 0.2mm, and rows or strips within 200mm width (of course. With the progress of large equipment, there are many aluminum plates with a maximum width of 600mm).
For the thin aluminum plate below 0.1mm, a utility knife or a paper cutter can be used, and it is easy to operate. For the aluminum plate between 0.1mm and 2mm, it is recommended to use a toothless saw. The cut aluminum plate is flush and flat, and it is not easy to produce scratches. For aluminum plates above 5mm, use large electric or hydraulic shears. Hope my answer can help you
