Method And Apparatus For Judging Fracture Of Metal Stamped Product

Abstract: In the process of target stamping for fracture judgment, an acquisition unit 101 acquires, as target data for fracture judgment, strain of a target die to be measured over the duration from the start time of stamping measured by strain measuring units 8 to the finishing time of stamping, and also acquires production conditions typically by measurement. An extraction unit 102 extracts the reference data, which gives the minimum total of differences between the production conditions of the reference data extracted from the storage unit 104 and the production conditions of the target data for fracture judgment, as the comparative data. A judging unit 103 compares strain in the comparative data extracted by the extraction unit 102 and strain in the target data for fracture judgment, and judges occurrence of a crack in a stamped product, if the maximum value of the difference is not smaller than a predetermined value. By virtue of this configuration, cracks possibly produced in the process of stamping of various metal materials such as those of iron-base, non-iron-base and stacked products may precisely be judged.

Specification

measured by the strain measuring unit over the entire period or a partial period from the start time of stamping to the finishing time of stamping, and acquires production conditions including at least sliding speed;
an extraction step which extracts, from the reference data, the one satisfying a predetermined condition as comparative data, based on the production conditions of the reference data extracted from the storage unit, and also based on the production conditions of the target data for fracture judgment, and
a judgment step which compares strain in the comparative data and strain in the target data for fracture judgment, and judges occurrence of a crack in a stamped product, if a predetermined condition is
satisfied.
(2)
The method of judging fracture in a metal stamped product according to (1), wherein the production conditions further includes, in addition to the sliding speed, at least one of production time, ambient temperature, humidity, blank holding force, lot number of work, blank process position information traceable from material lot, tensile strength of work, yield strength of work, amount of uniform elongation of work, and thickness of work.
(3)
The method of judging fracture in a metal stamped product, according to (1), wherein, the extraction step extracts the reference data, which gives the minimum
condition as comparative data, based on the production conditions of the reference data extracted from the storage unit, and also based on the production conditions of the targef data for fracture judgment; and
a judgment process which compares strain in the comparative data and strain in the target data for fracture judgment, and judges occurrence of a crack in a stamped product, if a predetermined condition is satisfied. (14)
A computer-readable recording medium storing program according to (13) .
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION [0038]
According to this invention, cracks possibly produced in the process of stamping of various metal materials such as those of iron-base, non-iron-base and stacked products may precisely be judged.
