Metal forming problem
A few of the products I receive have a manufacturing defect which may cause problems in time. The issue is tears in the metal at a point where the metal blank shape is pressed to create to upright "wings" which form the hinge part of the assembly. The assembly is a rat trap. The metal is galvanised mild steel. This link shows a photo ... www.tomdhu.com Any suggestions how this could be avoided? Different radius ? Lubrication? Two stage forming? Heat? Baz |
