Pulsed-electrochemical machine and process to manufacture powder metallurgy fastener punches.
1 Dec 2018 to 28 Feb 2021
In addition to our original scope, we now also wish to also investigate the following in our final quarter: Credit cards require a security secure holographic hot foil print on the reverse side of the card. The hot foil printing on to a rigid substrate is extremely difficult and holographic foil compounds this difficulty. We wish to investigate in this fi...
Advanced Tooling Technology for the Aerospace Fastener Industry
1 Apr 2015 to 31 Mar 2017
Aircraft Fasteners (AFs – e.g. crucifix screw head recess and other styles) secure an array of mechanical aircraft components; a Boeing 787 comprises 40K AFs. AF punches are manufactured by ‘hobbing’ whereby the master hob carries a recess similar to the final AF recess and are driven at high pressures 250 tonnes+ into a punch blank made of M2 or M42 mate...
Advanced Tooling Technology for the Aerospace Fastener Industry
1 Feb 2014 to 31 Jul 2014
B&F would like to further research & investigate the aerospace fastener manufacture market. The project aims to test and evaluate whether or not their newly proposed method of producing master hobs and subsequent punches for aerospace fastener manufacture would provide tooling with advanced wear properties whilst enabling reduced overall punch manufacturi...
