SUBSTITUIÇÃO DO MATERIAL VND PELO AISI VH13 NA MATRIZ DE ESTAMPAGEM DE RODAS DE ALUMÍNIO

Abstract

Steels are considered the most used materials in the industrial area, and their performance is evident in the job market. Steel is a material in constant evolution: and certainly what led it to gain this prominence, was the vast field in which its properties allow it to operate, in addition to its peculiar characteristics providing a good performance obtained at low costs. The material VND steel, cold working of the matrix is ​​very relevant in micro structural elements. AISI VH13 steel is a hot-working steel, with applications in dies and forging punches, hot press dies, molds and components of zinc and aluminum alloy die-casting machines and others. This work aims to analyze the replacement of VND steel by AISI VH13 steel in the stamping process of aluminum wheels. Within this theme, the tests of specimens were analyzed, verifying elongation, tensile deformation, load required for the rupture of the material and impact energy. To develop this theme, a work schedule was established, which consists of collecting samples of VND and AISI VH13 steel material. From the results of the mechanical tests, the proposed objective was put into practice. The results were compiled in graphs, facilitating analysis and discussion for drawing conclusions.
