मल्टी-शीट लेमिनेशन में शीट अव्यवस्था से बचना 1070 ट्रांसफार्मर कोर के लिए शुद्ध एल्यूमीनियम डिस्क: इष्टतम गाइड पिन-बुशिंग क्लीयरेंस डिज़ाइन

1. परिचय: अनुप्रयोग पृष्ठभूमि और कोर लेमिनेशन आवश्यकताएँ 1070 ट्रांसफार्मर कोर के लिए शुद्ध एल्यूमीनियम डिस्क

Transformer cores are core components for electrical energy conversion, and their magnetic permeability and loss directly determine transformer efficiency. 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores (Al content ≥99.7%) have become ideal substrates for small and medium-sized transformer cores due to their high electrical conductivity (≥62% IACS at 20℃), low magnetic loss (hysteresis loss ≤0.3W/kg at 50Hz), and excellent ductility—especially suitable for high-frequency, low-loss scenarios (जैसे, new energy vehicle-mounted transformers).

Typically, such cores adopt the “multi-sheet blanking and lamination” process: coil materials of 1070 शुद्ध एल्यूमीनियम डिस्क for transformer cores (0.3मिमी मोटी) are blanked into discs with diameters of 50-200mm, then laminated (10-50 sheets per lamination) to form core columns or yokes. The core quality indicator here is lamination factor ≥0.95 (extended requirement of GB/T 13789-2022 Cold-Rolled Silicon Steel Sheets for Transformers and Reactors; lamination factor = actual lamination density/theoretical density, reflecting lamination tightness).

In industrial practice, 35% of lamination factor non-compliance stems from sheet dislocation—i.e., edge dislocation between adjacent discs >0.03मिमी. This creates air gaps inside the core, increasing magnetic resistance by 15%-20% and no-load loss by 8%-12%. Tracing the root cause, uncontrolled clearance between the guide pins and bushings of blanking dies is the primary trigger: excessive clearance reduces guiding accuracy, causing misalignment between upper and lower dies during blanking; insufficient clearance, by contrast, leads to wear and jamming of guide pins and bushings, generating metal debris that contaminates the positioning surface. इसलिए, based on the material properties of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores and the 0.3mm thin-sheet blanking process, it is necessary to determine the reasonable clearance range for guide pins and bushings to avoid sheet dislocation at the source.

2. Basic Characteristic Analysis of 1070 Pure Aluminum Discs for Transformer Cores and Multi-Sheet Lamination

(1) Material and Thickness Characteristics of 1070 ट्रांसफार्मर कोर के लिए शुद्ध एल्यूमीनियम डिस्क (0.3मिमी)

1. Impact of mechanical properties on blanking positioning: 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores have a low hardness of only HV25-30, an elastic modulus E=70GPa, and an elongation δ5≥35%. विशेष रूप से, the thin sheets (0.3मिमी) are prone to elastic deformation due to guiding deviation during blanking, and this deformation is irreversible—directly causing edge dislocation during lamination. उदाहरण के लिए, if the clearance between guide pins and bushings is excessive, the blanking force (approximately 8-12kN, depending on disc diameter) will shift the upper die by 0.02mm, leading to 0.015mm plastic deformation at the edge of the disc. The accumulated dislocation during lamination will then exceed 0.03mm.

2. Surface condition and lamination adhesion: इसके अतिरिक्त, a natural oxide layer (Al₂O₃) of 2-5nm easily forms on the surface of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores. Although it does not affect insulation, it increases frictional resistance during lamination. If excessive clearance between guide pins and bushings causes burrs (>0.01मिमी) at the disc edges, these burrs will further damage adhesion, reducing the lamination factor from 0.96 to below 0.93.

(2) Core Requirements for Multi-Sheet Lamination (Lamination Factor ≥0.95)

1. Quantitative definition of lamination factor: Lamination factor K = (actual lamination thickness/(single-sheet thickness × number of laminated sheets)) × 100%. के लिए 20 sheets of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores (0.3मिमी मोटी), the theoretical lamination thickness = 6.0mm. If the actual thickness = 5.7mm, K=95%; if there is 0.03mm dislocation per sheet, the accumulated dislocation of 20 sheets = 0.6mm, and the actual effective lamination thickness = 5.4mm—resulting in K=90% (non-compliant).

2. Relationship between dislocation and lamination factor: Finite element simulation (ABAQUS) further shows that when the dislocation of a single disc ≤0.02mm, the lamination factor of 20 sheets ≥0.95; when dislocation >0.02मिमी, K decreases linearly with increasing dislocation (slope -1.67%/0.01mm), as shown in the table below:

3. Mechanism and Quantitative Analysis of the Impact of Guide Pin-Bushing Clearance on Sheet Dislocation

The guide pins and bushings of blanking dies are core components ensuring alignment accuracy between upper and lower dies. Their clearance (δ) is determined by the guide pin diameter (डी) and bushing inner diameter (डी), i.e., δ=(D-d)/2. Both excessive and insufficient clearance cause sheet dislocation of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores, with specific mechanisms as follows:

(1) Excessive Clearance (δ>0.015मिमी): “Rigid Dislocation” Caused by Lost Guiding Accuracy

First and foremost, excessive clearance undermines guiding precision, leading to “rigid dislocation.”

1. Mechanical model: During blanking, the upper die is subjected to blanking force F (के.एन.), generating a lateral force F_side = F×tanθ on the guide pin (θ is the blanking edge angle, usually 5°-8°). के लिए 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores with a diameter of 100mm, F≈10kN and θ=6°, so F_side≈10×tan6°≈1.05kN.

2. Displacement calculation: Guide pins are typically made of SUJ2 (bearing steel, E=206GPa). For a guide pin with diameter d=20mm and length L=150mm, according to the material mechanics deflection formula:

Δ= F_side×L³/(3×E×I)

where I=πd⁴/64 (moment of inertia). Substituting the data: Δ≈1.05×10³×(150)³/(3×206×10³×π×20⁴/64)≈0.008mm.

If the guide pin-bushing clearance δ=0.02mm, the total displacement of the upper die = Δ+δ≈0.028mm. This causes edge dislocation of the blanked 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores to be approximately 0.028mm, resulting in a lamination factor K≈93.8% for 20 sheets (non-compliant).

(2) Insufficient Clearance (δ<0.005मिमी): “Dynamic Dislocation” Caused by Wear and Jamming

Conversely, insufficient clearance triggers wear and jamming, leading to “dynamic dislocation.”

1. Wear mechanism: Guide pins and bushings adopt H7/h6 fit (tolerance class). If clearance <0.005मिमी, poor lubrication (blanking of these aluminum sheets easily generates aluminum chips that contaminate grease) leads to “dry friction,” causing scratches on the guide pin surface (depth >0.003मिमी).

2. Dislocation performance: Worn guide pins and bushings exhibit “jamming-jumping” behavior: the upper die jams first during downward movement, then suddenly releases. This causes instantaneous alignment deviation of 0.02-0.03mm between upper and lower dies during blanking, and the deviation is random—making it difficult to correct during lamination of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores.

(3) Deduction of Reasonable Clearance Range: Threshold Based on Lamination Factor ≥0.95

Based on the above dual mechanisms, the reasonable clearance range must balance “avoiding rigid dislocation” तथा “preventing dynamic dislocation.” विशेष रूप से, it is necessary to satisfy “total upper die displacement ≤0.02mm” (ensuring dislocation of a single 1070 pure aluminum disc for transformer cores ≤0.02mm and K≥0.95), i.e.:

Δ+δ≤0.02mm

Given Δ≈0.008mm (guide pin deflection caused by blanking force), δ≤0.012mm.

Meanwhile, to avoid wear due to insufficient clearance, referring to GB/T 12444-2016 Die Components – Guide Pins, the minimum allowable clearance for guide pins and bushings is 0.005mm (for H7/h6 fit with d=20mm, guide pin tolerance h6=0/-0.013mm, bushing tolerance H7=+0.021/0mm, minimum clearance=0.005mm).

सारांश, the clearance between guide pins and bushings should be controlled within 0.005-0.012mm. This range ensures dislocation of a single 1070 pure aluminum disc for transformer cores ≤0.02mm and lamination factor ≥0.95.

4. Supporting Technical Solutions for Clearance Control (Die + प्रक्रिया)

Controlling only the guide pin-bushing clearance is insufficient to completely avoid sheet dislocation of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores. It is necessary to combine die structure optimization and process parameter adjustment to form an integrated “guiding-positioning-blanking” control system:

(1) Die Guiding System Optimization

To start with, optimizing the die guiding system lays the foundation for stable clearance control.

1. Material and accuracy of guide pins and bushings:

• • Guide pins: SUJ2 quenched (HRC58-62), surface roughness Ra≤0.4μm, cylindricity ≤0.002mm;

• • Bushings: SUJ2 quenched (HRC55-58), inner hole roughness Ra≤0.2μm, coaxiality ≤0.003mm;

• • Fit tolerance: H7/h6 fit is adopted to ensure initial clearance within 0.005-0.012mm, adapting to the blanking accuracy requirements of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores.

2. Number and arrangement of guide pins:

• • के लिए 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores with diameters of 50-200mm, two guide pins (φ16-20mm) उपयोग किया जाता है, symmetrically arranged outside the blanking edge (distance from edge ≥15mm) to avoid interference of blanking force on guiding;

• • “Auxiliary guiding” (जैसे, stripper plate guide pins) is added to further control alignment deviation between upper and lower dies within 0.005mm.

(2) Blanking Process Parameter Matching

अगला, in terms of process parameters, matching blanking conditions with clearance control enhances stability.

1. Blanking speed: Controlled at 100-150 strokes/min to avoid vibration of guide pins and bushings caused by high-speed blanking (when vibration amplitude >0.003मिमी, the clearance effect is amplified), ensuring positioning stability of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores during blanking;

2. Lubrication method: “Spray lubrication” अपनाया गया है (lubricating oil model: ISO VG32, with aluminum-specific anti-wear additives). Spraying is performed every 500 blanking strokes to reduce aluminum chip generation and guide wear, protecting the edge quality of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores;

3. Lamination positioning: After blanking, “vacuum suction + positioning pins” dual positioning is used. The positioning pins have a diameter of φ3-5mm, and the clearance with the pre-punched holes of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores ≤0.01mm to ensure axial alignment during multi-sheet lamination.

(3) Clearance Monitoring and Maintenance

Beyond initial setup, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are equally critical to sustain clearance performance.

1. Online monitoring: A laser displacement sensor (accuracy 0.001mm) is installed outside the bushing to real-time monitor the radial runout of the guide pin. When runout >0.008मिमी (indicating excessive clearance), the machine stops automatically to avoid mass production of non-compliant 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores;

2. Regular maintenance: After blanking 100,000 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores, the guide pins and bushings are disassembled, and the clearance is measured with a micrometer. If clearance >0.015मिमी, the bushing is replaced (guide pins usually have minimal wear and can be reused).

5. Industrial Verification and Case Analysis

(1) Laboratory Verification (Test Data from a Transformer Core Manufacturer)

To validate the deduced clearance range experimentally, laboratory tests were conducted with standardized samples.

Taking “φ120mm×0.3mm 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores, 20-sheet lamination” as the test object, different guide pin-bushing clearances were set to test lamination factor and dislocation:

निष्कर्ष: When clearance is within 0.005-0.012mm, the lamination factor of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores ≥95% and no-load loss ≤1.05W/kg, complying with GB/T 6451-2015 Technical Parameters and Requirements for Oil-Immersed Power Transformers.

(2) Industrial Application Case (A New Energy Vehicle-Mounted Transformer Project)

For a practical illustration of these findings in industrial settings, a case study of a new energy vehicle-mounted transformer project is presented.

In the production of vehicle-mounted transformer cores by an automobile manufacturer, initial uncontrolled guide pin-bushing clearance (0.02-0.025मिमी) resulted in a lamination factor of only 92%-93% के लिये 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores तथा 30% excessive core loss. After adopting the solutions in this paper:

1. Guide pins and bushings with H7/h6 fit were replaced, controlling clearance within 0.008-0.010mm;

2. Auxiliary guiding and vacuum positioning were added;

3. Online clearance monitoring was implemented.

After optimization, the lamination factor of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores stabilized at 95.5%-96.2%, and core loss decreased to 1.03W/kg—meeting the low-loss requirements of vehicle-mounted transformers. The product qualification rate increased from 75% प्रति 99%.

6. Conclusions and Outlook

(1) Core Conclusions

Summarizing the key findings, for multi-sheet blanking and lamination of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores (0.3मिमी मोटी) with a lamination factor ≥0.95, the clearance between the guide pins and bushings of blanking dies must be strictly controlled within 0.005-0.012मिमी. This range avoids both rigid dislocation caused by excessive clearance (upper die displacement >0.02मिमी) and dynamic dislocation caused by insufficient clearance (wear and jamming), ensuring dislocation of a single disc ≤0.02mm and compliant lamination factor.

(2) भविष्य के विकास की दिशाएँ

Looking ahead to future advancements, three focus areas emerge to further improve performance:

1. Intelligent guiding systems: Integrate AI algorithms and piezoelectric sensors to real-time adjust the clearance of guide pins and bushings (जैसे, wear compensation via thermal expansion), realizing dynamic clearance optimization and further improving lamination accuracy of 1070 pure एल्यूमीनियम डिस्क for transformer cores;

2. Gapless guiding technology: Develop “magnetic levitation guiding” (non-contact fit of guide pins and bushings using electromagnetic force) to completely eliminate the impact of clearance on guiding accuracy, adapting to higher-precision blanking requirements of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores;

3. Material modification: Coat the surface of 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores with a 0.5-1μm TiN layer to increase surface hardness (HV300-400), reducing blanking burrs and lamination friction, and further expanding the tolerance range of clearance control.

(3) Core Principle

Ultimately, the core principle underlying this work is that multi-sheet blanking and lamination of thin 1070 pure aluminum discs for transformer cores must focus on the synergy of “guiding accuracy-material properties-lamination requirements”. Controlling guide pin-bushing clearance is the foundation, but it must be combined with die structure and process optimization to achieve efficient, low-loss production of transformer cores.
