COOKER LID
TYPE OF MATERIAL
Stainless steel
reasons:
(1) Corrosion resistance
-All stainless steels have a high resistance to
corrosion. Low alloyed grades resist corrosion in
atmospheric conditions; highly alloyed grades
can resist corrosion in most acids, alkaline
solutions, and chloride bearing environments,
even at elevated temperatures and pressures.

(2) Strength
The cold work hardening properties of many
stainless steels can be used in design to reduce
material thicknesses and reduce weight and
costs. Other stainless steels may be heat treated
to make very high strength components.

(3) Ease of fabrication
The majority of stainless steels can be cut,
welded, formed, machined and fabricated
readily.


TYPE OF PROCESS
True close die forging :
Flash does not form and the workpiece
completely fills the die cavity
Undersized blanks prevent the complete
filling of the die cavity
It is applied to impression die forging with
flash generation

PROCESS OPERATION
two dies are brought together and
the workpiece undergoes plastic
deformation until its enlarged sides
touch the side walls of the die.

Then, a small amount of material
begins to flow outside the die
impression forming flash that is
gradually thinned.

The flash cools rapidly and
presents increased resistance
to deformation and helps build
up pressure inside the bulk of
the workpiece that aids
material flow into unfilled
impressions.
