Material Hardness Testing and Quality Testing Methods for CNC Machined Aluminum Parts

Material hardness testing and quality testing play an important role in CNC machining of aluminum parts, which can evaluate the performance and processing quality of materials. This paper will introduce the commonly used material hardness testing methods and quality testing steps to ensure the quality of CNC machined aluminum parts.

Aluminum alloy has light weight, high strength and good corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in aviation, automotive and electronic fields. In the CNC machining process of aluminum parts, material hardness testing and quality testing can ensure the performance of the material and the controllability of the processing.



I. Material hardness test method

Brinell Hardness Testing: The steel ball of a certain diameter is pressed into the surface of the material, and the hardness is measured according to the indentation diameter of the steel ball on the surface of the material. Suitable for hardness test of soft materials, such as aluminum alloy.

Rockwell Hardness Testing: The use of a steel ball or drill to apply a certain pressure to the surface of the material, according to the depth of the indenter or the amount of resilience to assess the hardness of the material. Suitable for hardness testing of various materials, including aluminum alloys.

Vickers Hardness Testing: The use of diamond indenter on the material for small load indentation, according to the diagonal length of the indentation to measure the hardness of the material. Suitable for hardness testing of various materials, including aluminum alloys.

II. Quality inspection steps

Dimensional measurement: By using tools such as micrometers, vernier calipers or laser measuring instruments, the size and geometry of aluminum parts are measured to confirm their compliance with design specifications.

Surface quality inspection: Use the naked eye or microscope to check the surface of aluminum defects, defects, bubbles, cracks and other problems. Perform visual inspection as required to ensure surface smoothness and finish.

Chemical composition analysis: Through chemical composition analysis, it is possible to confirm whether the alloying element content of aluminum alloy meets the standard. Common chemical analysis methods include spectral analysis and X-ray fluorescence analysis.

Strength and toughness testing: By conducting tensile, bending or impact tests, etc., to assess the strength and toughness of aluminum parts. These tests can determine the mechanical properties of the material and compare them with industry standards.

Special testing: According to actual needs, special testing, such as magnetic particle detection, ultrasonic detection and X-ray detection, to detect small defects and structural problems inside aluminum parts.

For CNC machined aluminum parts, material hardness testing and quality testing are the key to ensure processing quality and performance. Reasonable selection of hardness testing methods can evaluate the hardness of aluminum alloy and determine its applicability.

How does the new energy battery dissipate heat?

Power battery is an important core component of new energy vehicles, which is not only expensive, determines the cost of new energy vehicles, but also determines the driving range of new energy vehicles, affecting the feelings of consumers. The power battery used by new energy vehicles is a rechargeable chemical battery, and its charging and discharging process is actually a chemical reaction process, so the power battery will release a certain amount of heat with the intensity of the chemical reaction during the charging and discharging process. We know that the negative electrode, electrolyte and battery separator inside the power battery will burn, and the ignition point of the electrolyte is very low, therefore, if the huge power battery pack of new energy vehicles does not do a good job of thermal management, it is not only easy to cause battery damage, but also very easy to cause combustion accidents. The power battery pack is composed of a large number of cells. When producing p...

Liquid Cooling Technology: An Efficient New Cooling Solution for Coping with the Surge in Computing Power

  Concepts like 'AIGC in the field of artificial intelligence,' 'ChatGPT,' 'data special zones,' 'Eastern data and Western computing,' and 'data centers' are some of the hottest topics right now. Behind the surge in computing power, processor power consumption is increasing. To maximize processor performance, higher cooling efficiency is necessary.   With the explosive growth of computing power, we see an increase in power density and energy consumption in data centers. Traditional air cooling can no longer meet the growing cooling demands, highlighting the importance of   liquid cooling technology . The high power density of AI servers   makes 'liquid cooling' a cost-effective and efficient temperature control method.   Liquid cooling technology refers to the use of liquid instead of air as a coolant to exchange heat with heat-generating components and dissipate that heat. It involves directly introducing a liquid cooling system into the...

Direct Chip Cooling Liquid Loop: A Technological Innovation Safeguarding High-Performance Computing

With the rapid development of technology, the computational demands of data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and artificial intelligence servers are growing increasingly. Traditional air-cooled heat dissipation methods have become insufficient for meeting the high-density and high-power dissipation requirements of modern chips. In response, direct to chip liquid cooling loop   technology  has emerged, becoming an indispensable heat dissipation solution in the field of high-performance computing due to its exceptional thermal conductivity, high heat dissipation efficiency, and low noise levels. Technical Characteristics direct to chip liquid cooling loop   technology, as its name implies, introduces coolant directly near the chip. Through an efficient heat exchange process, it quickly removes the heat generated by the chip. This technology not only significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency but also markedly reduces system noise, providing users with a...
