Optimization of Uniform Pressing Conditions for Components with Height Differences Considering Surface Roughness
This study focuses on optimizing the uniform pressing process in precision manufacturing, addressing challenges posed by surface roughness and height differences between components. In real-world conditions, such irregularities can lead to non-uniform pressure distribution during pressing, negatively affecting product quality. To mitigate these issues, a buffer protection layer was introduced between the press and components. The optimization process was conducted through finite element analysis (FEA) to determine the ideal material properties, including elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and thickness of the buffer layer. Two surface roughness scenarios were examined to assess the impact of surface conditions on pressing uniformity. The results indicate that a higher elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and thicker buffer layers are more effective in achieving uniform pressing, particularly under rougher surface conditions. This study provides a practical solution for improving the precision and reliability of pressing processes, ensuring better product consistency and enhancing overall manufacturing efficiency.
