two.1.4) Short description
The National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) seeks a suitably qualified supplier to supply, deliver, install and commission a Flat Strip Draw Tester (SDT) for the purpose of investigating the tribology of sheet metal forming (SMF) processes.
At present NMIS are willing to consider a range of designs to meet the specification ( for example, designs may take the form of double die and single die configurations).
Given the above, NMIS requires the offered SDT solution to be equipped with the capabilities to simulate these. The capabilities of the offered solution shall include but not be limited to:
Draw speeds within the range ≤ 10 and > 100 mm s-1 (preferably ≥ 200 mm s-1)
Nominal contact pressures within the range ≤ 5 and ≥ 30 MPa
Integrated specimen heating capabilities capable of ≥ 950 °C
It is desirable that specimen heating capabilities enable controllable heating rates, with a minimum of ≤14 °C s-1
Integrated method by which to measure the pre-draw specimen temperature
Integrated tool heating capabilities capable of ≥ 100 °C
Integrated tool cooling system to simulate e.g. operations that involve die quenching
Tools should be conducive to in-house manufacture and from a range of materials i.e. plug-and-play friendly.
