In many industrial applications, the fatigue resistance of stamping parts is crucial, which is directly related to the service life and safety of the product. By reasonably adjusting the process parameters during stamping, the fatigue resistance of stamping parts can be effectively enhanced.Stamping speed is a key parameter. Properly reducing the stamping speed can reduce the impact force that the material bears during instantaneous deformation. Although high-speed stamping can improve production efficiency, too fast speed will cause large stress fluctuations inside the material, which is easy to cause the generation and expansion of micro cracks, thereby reducing fatigue resistance. For example, in the stamping production of key connecting parts of automobile engines, controlling the stamping speed within a reasonable range can make the material undergo plastic deformation more smoothly, avoid internal tissue damage caused by impact, and significantly improve its fatigue resistance under long-term cyclic loads.Accurate control of stamping pressure is also indispensable. Excessive pressure may cause excessive deformation of the material, distort or even rupture the grains, and leave residual stress concentration points inside the stamping parts, which become the source of fatigue cracks. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately set the stamping pressure according to the characteristics of the material and the shape and thickness of the stamping parts. With the help of advanced pressure sensors and intelligent control systems, the pressure is monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure that the material completes plastic deformation within a reasonable stress range, reduce internal tissue defects, and enhance fatigue resistance. For example, for some thin stamping parts in the aerospace field that have extremely high requirements for strength and fatigue resistance, precise pressure control can make the material deform evenly and improve its ability to resist fatigue damage.The reasonable setting of the die gap also has an important influence on the fatigue resistance of stamping parts. The appropriate die gap can ensure the smooth flow of the material during the stamping process, avoid the violent friction and excessive shear force caused by too small a gap, and the uneven stretching of the material caused by too large a gap. Uniform deformation helps to reduce the stress concentration area inside the stamping parts, thereby improving fatigue resistance. For example, in the production of precision stamping parts of electronic equipment, the die gap is optimized through repeated experiments, so that the material is evenly stressed during stamping, which effectively reduces the risk of fatigue failure caused by local stress concentration.In addition, temperature control during stamping should not be ignored. For some temperature-sensitive materials, such as magnesium alloys, stamping within a suitable temperature range can improve the plasticity of the material, reduce deformation resistance, reduce the generation of internal residual stress, and thus improve the fatigue resistance of stamping parts. Temperature control of materials or molds through heating or cooling devices, combined with the optimization of other process parameters, can create more favorable conditions for improving the fatigue resistance of stamping parts.In summary, through fine adjustment and optimization of process parameters such as stamping speed, pressure, mold gap and temperature, the defects and stress concentration inside stamping parts can be effectively reduced, and their fatigue resistance can be enhanced, meeting the stringent requirements of different industrial fields for high-quality stamping parts, and promoting the sustainable development and progress of the manufacturing industry.
