СПОСОБ ИЗГОТОВЛЕНИЯ СВЕКЛОРЕЗНЫХ НОЖЕЙ

Использование: в обработке металлов давлением при изготовлении свеклорезных ножей для измельчения сырья при производстве сахара. Сущность изобретения: заготовку, полученную путем вырубки из листа, нагревают и помещают в штамп. Штамп состоит из двух инструментов с параллельно расположенными на рабочей поверхности выступами треугольного поперечного сечения, имеющими скос на одном из торцев. Выступы одного инструмента смещены относительно выступов другого на величину, равную половине шага режущих граней ножа. Формообразование производят на прессе за один его ход в два этапа. На первом этапе заготовку консольно зажимают в зоне державки ножа. На первом этапе заготовке придают ступенчатый продольный профиль, соответствующий окончательным размерам ножа. Одновременно в зоне режущей части ножа формируют зигзагообразный поперечный рельеф с равномерными припусками под фрезерование режущих граней. 4 ил.
