Do you know the production process of hyperbolic panels?

Raw material requirements for hyperbolic aluminum panels

Aluminum plate material: the raw material of the hyperbolic aluminum plate is mainly aluminum alloy plate, and it is required to have high purity and uniform material to ensure the quality and performance of the finished product.


Aluminum plate state: the raw material of the hyperbolic aluminum plate needs to use the T6 or T651 state of aluminum plate, this state of aluminum plate has high strength and hardness, and can meet the strength requirements of the hyperbolic aluminum plate.


Thickness requirements: the thickness of the raw material for hyperbolic aluminum plate is generally between 1.5mm-4mm, which needs to be selected according to the actual application scenario and design requirements.


The raw material must be homogenized to ensure the quality and performance of the hyperbolic aluminum plate. Homogenization treatment is the heating of an aluminum plate to make its internal organization uniform, eliminating internal stress and tissue inhomogeneity. This can improve the mechanical properties and processing performance of the aluminum plate, as well as reduce finished product deformation, cracks, and other issues. As a result, homogenization treatment is an important process step in the production of hyperbolic aluminum plates.


Common forming methods for hyperbolic aluminum plates:

Pipelay forming: put the aluminum plate into the pipelay machine, and form the aluminum plate into a hyperbolic shape by stretching and compression.


Multi-point molding: Put the aluminum plate into the multi-point molding machine, through the action of multiple molds, the aluminum plate will be formed into a hyperbolic shape.


Shot Peening: The aluminum plate is put into the shot peening machine, and the surface of the aluminum plate is ground and shaped by spraying the abrasive material with high-speed flow.


Liquid-filled forming: The aluminum plate is put into a liquid-filled machine, and the inside of the plate is filled with liquid, which forms the plate into a hyperbolic shape by the action of pressure and temperature.


Hot Bending: The aluminum plate is heated and then put into the bending machine to form the aluminum plate into a hyperbolic shape by the action of the bending machine.


Drop Forming: The aluminum plate is put into the drop forming machine, and the aluminum plate is formed into a hyperbolic shape by the action of the drop hammer.


Rubber Bladder Forming: The aluminum plate is put into a rubber bladder and formed into a hyperbolic shape by internal inflation and pressure.


Welding forming: Welding several aluminum plates to form a large area of hyperbolic aluminum plate, commonly used equipment includes a welding machine.


Cutting and forming: cutting the aluminum plate according to the design size, commonly used equipment includes a cutting machine.


Different forming methods require different equipment, such as PiLa forming needs a PiLa machine, multi-point molding needs a multi-point molding machine, and so on. In actual production, different forming methods and equipment are usually selected according to different forming needs and process requirements.


For hyperbolic aluminum sheet processing, the following software is used: design software, processing software, and simulation software.


Design software: commonly used design software AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Pro/Engineer, etc., this software can be used for three-dimensional modeling and design of hyperbolic aluminum plates.


Processing software: commonly used processing software Mastercam, UG, Cimatron, etc., this software can be used to plan and optimize the machining path of the hyperbolic aluminum plate, and generate machining programs and control codes.


Simulation software: commonly used simulation software ABAQUS, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, etc., this software can be used for finite element analysis and simulation of hyperbolic aluminum plate, predicting the deformation and stress distribution of the hyperbolic aluminum plate in the machining process.


Comprehensive design, processing, and simulation analysis of hyperbolic aluminum plates can be performed using this software to improve processing accuracy and quality, as well as greatly shorten the processing cycle and reduce costs.


Commonly used welding methods for double-curved aluminum plate processing:

Melting electrode argon arc welding: melting electrode argon arc welding is the process of heating an aluminum plate to the melting point, then melting it and welding it in some way using an arc under the protection of argon gas. Although this welding method ensures the quality and strength of the welded joints, it necessitates the use of professional welding equipment and technology.


Gas-shielded welding: gas shielded welding is the use of inert gases (such as argon) to protect the welding area to prevent oxidation and contamination, thus ensuring the quality and strength of the welded joints. This type of welding is suitable for thin plate welding, commonly used equipment are TIG welder and MIG welder.


Solder welding: Solder welding is the use of solder as filler material, the aluminum plate for welding. This type of welding is suitable for thin plate welding, commonly used in the manufacture of electronic products and precision instruments.


Laser welding: Laser welding is a method of welding aluminum plates by heating and melting them with a laser beam. This type of welding can realize high-precision, high-speed and contactless welding, commonly used in precision instruments and aerospace and other fields.


Depending on different factors such as material, thickness, and application scenarios of hyperbolic aluminum plates, different welding methods can be selected for processing. When choosing a welding method, factors such as the quality and strength of the welded joint, productivity and cost need to be considered.


Surface treatment of hyperbolic aluminum plate:

Oxidation: oxidation is the process of reacting the surface of an aluminum plate with oxygen to form an oxide film. Oxidation treatment can improve the corrosion resistance and surface hardness of the aluminum plate, but also increase the decorative properties of the aluminum plate.


Spraying: spraying is the process of spraying paint on the surface of aluminum to form a coating. Spraying treatment can improve the surface quality and appearance of the aluminum plate, but also increase the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the aluminum plate.


Sanding: Sanding is the process of sanding the surface of an aluminum plate to form a certain texture and roughness. Sanding can increase the friction coefficient and anti-slip property of aluminum plates, and also improve the decorative effect of aluminum plates.


Polishing: Polishing is the process of polishing the surface of an aluminum plate to form a certain luster and smoothness. Polishing treatment can improve the surface quality and appearance of aluminum plates and also can increase the decorative properties of aluminum plates.


Electrophoretic painting is the process of electrophoretic painting the surface of an aluminum plate to create a uniform coating. Electrophoretic painting treatment can improve the surface quality and appearance of aluminum panels while increasing corrosion resistance and decorative properties.


Different surface treatment methods for hyperbolic aluminum panels can be chosen based on the application scenarios and requirements. When selecting a surface treatment method, consider factors such as treatment effect, cost, and production efficiency. Hyperbolic aluminum plate is a type of double-curved shaped plate made of aluminum alloy material that is commonly used in architectural curtain walls, ceilings, interior decoration, and other fields.


The hyperbolic aluminum sheet has the following characteristics:
