Metalforming Processes and Materials for Non-Technical Executives, Directors and Managers Seminar
Tuesday, June 19, 2018
Cleveland, OH
EVENT DETAILS
This seminar will provide attendees with a fundamental understanding of metalforming processes and their capabilities, the common materials specified for these processes, and various types of surface coatings and treatments that metalformed parts may require. This seminar is designed for users involved in purchasing, quality, sales and manufacturing professions and program managers who are not directly involved in the manufacturing process or their materials but must specify, purchase or manage processes, materials, heat treatment or other surface treatment processes.
Attendees will gain valuable knowledge regarding the impact of material specifications, properties, process parameters and capabilities to better serve internal and external customers; better understand material properties to more accurately specify and purchase material; and apply this knowledge to improve troubleshooting, problem reporting and root cause analysis.
Topics covered:
- Learn important industry terminology and meaning
- Understand the difference between flatteners, straighteners, and levelers
- Discover important difference between “sheet” and “strip” metals (it’s not what you may think)
- Learn the differences between flywheel drive and servo drive presses
- Discover why surface hardness specifications are not the best indicators that the metal you order will work in production
- Understand how to properly order sheet material to assure you get what you need
- How to deal with international material specifications
- How will new higher strength automotive materials affect your business and plant operations
- Learn the difference between re-active, preventive, predictive and proactive maintenance programs
- What is the true cost of die maintenance
- What is an acceptable stamping burr (it’s much less than you think)
- How does welding, molding, plating affect the stamping process
- Understand the different types of quality measurement tools and equipment
